  • Publication number: 20250123113
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed. The UAV may include a UAV transceiver configured to receive course information associated with a course. The UAV may further include a UAV processor that may be configured to obtain the course information from the UAV transceiver. Responsive to obtaining the course information, the UAV processor may determine a UAV position in the course, and identify a course marker, from a plurality of course markers, in proximity to the UAV position based on the course information. The UAV processor may then determine navigation instructions associated with the course marker for a vehicle to navigate the course based on the course information. The UAV may be configured to move in proximity to a vehicle front portion and display the navigation instructions.

  • Publication number: 20250065677
    Abstract: A system communicatively coupled with a vehicle is disclosed. The system may include a detection unit configured to measure sound in proximity to a vehicle tire, and a processor communicatively coupled with the detection unit. The processor may be configured to obtain inputs from the detection unit, and identify a slow leakage in the vehicle tire based on the inputs. The processor may be further configured to output a notification responsive to a slow leakage identification. The system may be a part of the vehicle or may be part of a user device communicatively coupled to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12212900
    Abstract: An automated projector image optimization (APIO) system for a vehicle having a control system is provided. The APIO system includes a projector configured to display an image, a processor configured to be electrically connected to the control system, and a memory having instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations including receiving a user input corresponding to a display surface, determining a preferred orientation of the projector relative to the display surface, and employing the control system to move the vehicle so that the projector is in the preferred orientation.

  • Patent number: 12202407
    Abstract: An event detection system is for a vehicle. The system includes a processor, a sensor suite electrically connected to the processor, and a memory. The memory has instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the operations including receive an ON command, and receive data from the sensor suite. The data is indicative of the event, and the event includes the planting of unknown cargo on the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20250000459
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting a cardiac dysfunction in a user includes obtaining, from a sensor, photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals indicative of a cardiac rhythm of the user. The computer-implemented method further includes processing, in a computing device, the PPG signals to generate a cardiac dysfunction prediction for the user based, at least in part, on the PPG signals. The computer-implemented method further includes providing, via an annunciator, the cardiac dysfunction prediction for the user as an output.

  • Patent number: 11921766
    Abstract: Described herein are technologies related to constructing supplemental content items that summarize electronic landing pages. A sequence to sequence model that is configured to construct supplemental content items is trained based upon a corpus of electronic landing pages and supplemental content items that have been constructed by domain experts, wherein each landing page has a respective supplemental content item assigned thereto. The sequence to sequence model is additionally trained using self critical sequence training, where estimated click through rates of supplemental content items generated by the sequence to sequence model are employed to train the sequence to sequence model.

  • Publication number: 20240012143
    Abstract: An optical distance measurement or ranging apparatus, the apparatus including at least one optical pulse generator for generating a train of gating pulses and a train of probe pulses, the train of gating pulses having a different repetition rate than the train of probe pulses. The gating and probe pulses may be ultrashort laser pulses generated by different free-running, mode-locked lasers. An optical probing arrangement for directing the train of probe pulses to one or more objects and for collecting returned probe pulses returned from the one or more objects. The objects may include a target object and a reference object. The apparatus includes a multi-photon effect detector and is configured to direct both the train of gating pulses and the returned probe pulses to the multi-photon effect detector. The apparatus may be used for industrial inspection, machine calibration, position measurement or the like.
