Publication number: 20240373134Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Applicant: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Kirsten VIERING, Louis J BARBATO, Jeffrey Frank HATALSKY

Patent number: 12136303Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2023Date of Patent: November 5, 2024Assignee: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Michael Frank Schmidt, Jeffrey Brandon, Erik Nielsen, Chase Kaufman

Patent number: 12083955Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Divya Thakur, Rajat Basu, Jeffrey Brandon, Daniel Kan, Michael Frank Schmidt

Publication number: 20240193507Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2024Publication date: June 13, 2024Inventors: Jesse Lee REISS, Ajit Kalidindi VARMA, Jeffrey Frank IACONO, Richard David DIN

Patent number: 11915170Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: DOORDASH, INC.Inventors: Jesse Lee Reiss, Ajit Kalidindi Varma, Jeffrey Frank Iacono, Richard David Din

Patent number: 11429907Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2021Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: DOORDASH, INC.Inventors: Jesse Lee Reiss, Ajit Kalidindi Varma, Jeffrey Frank Iacono, Richard David Din
