  • Publication number: 20250257777
    Abstract: There is provided a bush for resisting vibrations between two components, such as the engine and chassis of a vehicle and which can be inserted into a housing. In an embodiment, the bush comprises an outer anchor part having a tubular sidewall defining a bore; an inner anchor part within the bore; a first resilient portion extending between the outer anchor part and the inner anchor part and operably engaged with the outer anchor part and the inner anchor part to isolate vibrations therebetween; a second resilient portion positioned on an outer surface of the sidewall and configured in use to contact the housing; an intermediate resilient portion interposed between the first and second resilient portions, wherein the outer anchor part comprises an aperture extending through the sidewall, and the intermediate resilient portion extends through the aperture.

  • Patent number: 12345307
    Abstract: A tuning element that can be integrally formed with a resilient body of a bush and configured to reduce dynamic stiffness increases associated with eigenmodes of the resilient body within a predetermined operational vibration frequency range. The tuning element may resemble an upstanding wall or wing on an outer surface of the resilient body. The resilient body may comprise a plurality of radial arms having axial passageways therebetween. The tuning element may bridge the passageways. A bush configured in this way may be particular suitable for use in scenario where the operational vibration frequency range comprises high frequency, such as an engine mount for an electric vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12297887
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a bush for isolating vibrations, the bush comprising: a first anchor part defining a longitudinal axis; a second anchor part disposed coaxially with respect to the first anchor part; a first resilient body operably engaged with the first anchor part; a second resilient body operably engaged with the second anchor part; and an inertial mass element disposed between the first anchor part and the second anchor part. The inertial mass element is independently connected to the first resilient body and the second resilient body. Also, the first resilient body, second resilient body and inertial mass element are arranged to isolate vibrations between the first anchor part and the second anchor part within a predetermined operational frequency range.

  • Patent number: 11210854
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media can determine a placement in a camera view for displaying an augmented reality (AR) advertisement, where the camera view is associated with a computing device. An AR advertisement for a user associated with the computing device can be determined based on attributes associated with the user. Display of the AR advertisement can be caused at the determined placement in the camera view.

  • Patent number: 11030440
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify a first user depicted in image content captured by a second user. It is determined that the first user should be obscured in the image content based on privacy settings. The image content is modified to obscure the first user.

  • Patent number: 10452898
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can identify one or more objects depicted in a camera view of a camera application displayed on a display of a user device. An augmented reality overlay is determined based on the one or more objects identified in the camera view. The camera view is modified based on the augmented reality overlay.

  • Patent number: 10388002
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access a training image and a reference image of a person and an incomplete image. A generate may generate an in-painted image based on the incomplete image, and a discriminator may be used to determine whether each of the in-painted image, the training image, and the reference image is likely generated by the generator. The system may compute losses based on the determinations and update the discriminator accordingly. Using the updated discriminator, the system may determine whether a second in-painted image generated by the generator is likely generated by the generator. The system may compute a loss based on the determination and update the generator accordingly. Once training is complete, the generator may be used to generate a modified version of a given image, such as making the eyes of a person appear open even if they were closed in the input image.
