  • Publication number: 20240373134
    Abstract: Systems and methods for color correcting images are described. An example method includes receiving, at a first and second time: first and second image data from an imaging device of a medical imaging system captured during a medical procedure; and a first and second value of an operating parameter of a light source of the medical imaging system, where a color of light emitted from the light source shifts based on values of the operating parameter. A first color shift is determined based on the first value, and a color correction function is applied to the first image data to compensate for the first color shift to generate first color corrected image data. A second color shift is determined based on the second value, and the color correction function is applied to the second image data to compensate for the second color shift to generate second color corrected image data.

  • Patent number: 12136303
    Abstract: A light inspection system positions an autonomous vehicle (AV) in a field of view of a camera such that the camera captures an image of a light of the AV. The light inspection system instructs a camera to capture an image of the light while the light is switched on. The light inspection system receives the captured image, determines a luminance of the light based on the image, and determines to service the light in response to the luminance of the light being below a threshold luminance.

  • Patent number: 12091331
    Abstract: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are destroyed by oxidation in supercritical conditions. PFAS in water can be concentrated and prepared for destruction in a pretreatment phase. Following annihilation of the PFAS in supercritical conditions to levels below 5 parts per trillion (ppt), the water effluent can be used to recover heat, returned to sub-critical conditions, and then released back into the environment.

  • Patent number: 12083955
    Abstract: Sensors coupled to a first vehicle are used to measure sensor measurements. Based on the sensor measurements, the first vehicle identifies a risk to the first vehicle and/or to a second vehicle near the first vehicle, for example based on a distance between the first and second vehicle being unsafely low. The first vehicle generates an alert based on the risk and outputs the alert toward the second vehicle, for example visually through a screen and/or audibly using speakers, to warn an operator of the second vehicle about the risk.

  • Publication number: 20240193507
    Abstract: In some examples, a system uses a first computational model to determine individual merchants that are predicted to receive orders during an upcoming time period. The system determines respective indicated geographic locations of a plurality of delivery agent devices associated with a plurality of delivery agents. Based at least on the first computational model predicting that a first merchant of the individual merchants is predicted to receive an order for the upcoming time period, delivery agent management logic is executed to receive the current locations of the active delivery agents and select a delivery agent to move to a location to be in position for picking up the order that is predicted to be received by the first merchant. The system sends a message to the delivery agent device of the selected delivery agent to instruct the selected delivery agent to move to the location.

  • Patent number: 11915170
    Abstract: In some examples, a processor may access past order information for a plurality of merchants to determine, for an upcoming time period, a number of orders predicted to be received by the merchants. The processor may determine geographic locations of delivery agent devices, each associated with a respective delivery agent. The processor may compare, for the upcoming time period, a number of active delivery agents with the number of orders predicted to be received. Based at least on determining a predicted shortage of active delivery agents for the upcoming time period, the processor selects a first delivery agent of the plurality of delivery agents to pick up a first order from a first pickup location of a first merchant and a second order from a second pickup location of a second merchant, and sends a message to a first delivery agent device associated with the first delivery agent.

  • Patent number: 11908026
    Abstract: In some examples, a computing device may receive, from a plurality of merchant devices associated with a plurality of merchants, respectively, electronic communications indicating pickup locations associated with the respective merchants. The computing device may access map information to determine a group of the respective pickup locations within a threshold distance of each other, the group of respective pickup locations corresponding to a group of the merchants. The computing device may send, to a buyer device, based at least on the pickup locations determined to be within the threshold distance of each other, merchant information that causes, at least in part, an application on the buyer device to present a user interface including information about the group of merchants, the information about the group of merchants including an indication that items ordered from the merchants in the group of merchants are available for combined delivery.

  • Patent number: 11429907
    Abstract: Some examples include a processor that accesses past order information for a plurality of past orders received in the past for a plurality of merchants and delivered by delivery agents. Further, for an upcoming time period, based on the past orders received by individual merchants over a past period of time, the processor may determine a predicted number of orders to be received for an upcoming time period for the individual merchants. The processor may execute delivery agent management logic to compare, for the upcoming time period, a number of active delivery agents with the predicted number of orders, and may send a message to a first delivery agent device associated with a first delivery agent to cause one of: activation of the first delivery agent from inactive status to active status, or deactivation of the first delivery agent from active status to inactive status.
