  • Patent number: 11820255
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to dynamically and automatically adjusting a standard regenerative braking intensity. Roadway data, data from one or more sensors of a vehicle and data including parameter values for operating states of the vehicle regarding a roadway from a route being navigated by the vehicle are received by a processor of a control system of the vehicle. Standard regenerative braking intensity values based on a vehicle's acceleration is retrieved from memory. Adjusted regenerative braking intensity values are calculated based on at least one of the roadway data, the sensor data and the parameter values of the operating states of the vehicle and the standard regenerative braking intensity values. The adjusted regenerative braking intensity values are transmitted to the control system and an acceleration or deacceleration amount is applied to the vehicle based on the adjusted regenerative braking intensity values.

  • Patent number: 11797085
    Abstract: An eye tracking system includes an imaging device, a memory, and a controller. The imaging device is configured to be mounted on a wearable device. The wearable device includes at least a first lens that is light transmissive and is positioned in front of at least a first eye of a user that is wearing the wearable device. The imaging device has a field of view that captures an inner surface of the first lens and a reflection of the first eye on the inner surface. The memory is configured to store program instructions. The controller is operably connected to the memory and the imaging device. The program instructions are executable by the controller to analyze image data generated by the imaging device and to detect a position of a pupil of the first eye in the reflection based on the analysis of the image data.

  • Patent number: 11796063
    Abstract: A seal assembly for a rotatable shaft assembly includes a seal housing and each of a main seal and a dust seal extending circumferentially around a seal housing center axis. The dust seal includes a radially inward dust seal lip, and is formed by a sealing layer having a plurality of ventilation openings formed therein, and a debris-blocking filter layer attached to the sealing layer and positioned across the ventilation openings. The main seal and dust seal assist in maintaining lubricating oil within a seal cavity. The dust seal prevents entry of debris whilst ventilating the seal cavity to limit carbonization of oil on seal assembly components. In an implementation the seal assembly is part of a rotatable crankshaft assembly.

  • Patent number: 11797308
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for fetch stage handling of indirect jumps in a processor pipeline. For example, a method includes detecting a sequence of instructions fetched by a processor core, wherein the sequence of instructions includes a first instruction, with a result that depends on an immediate field of the first instruction and a program counter value, followed by a second instruction that is an indirect jump instruction; responsive to detection of the sequence of instructions, preventing an indirect jump target predictor circuit from generating a target address prediction for the second instruction; and, responsive to detection of the sequence of instructions, determining a target address for the second instruction before the first instruction is issued to an execution stage of a pipeline of the processor core.

  • Patent number: 11796101
    Abstract: A connector having a body with a through-way open at one end. A shoulder in the through-way faces the open end and supports an O-ring. A cap is fitted to an open end of the body and extends from the open end toward the opposite end. The cap is a different color than the body. A gripping ring in the cap has inwardly facing teeth to grip a tube in the through-way to prevent the tube from being pulled out of the open end of the connection during use. A locking ring is fitted over the open end of the body and cap. The locking ring is rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking ring has a window that lines up with the body in one of the locked and unlock positions and the cap in the other of the locked and unlocked positions.

    Abstract: In one aspect, an apparatus may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive a transcription of audio from a first client device. The audio may be detected at the first client device and may be streamed from the first client device as part of a video conference. The instructions may also be executable to determine that a second client device is not presenting a first part of the audio. Based on the determination, the instructions may be executable to send a first part of the transcription to the second client device and/or to present the first part the transcription at the second client device.

  • Publication number: 20230294571
    Abstract: A seating assembly for a vehicle includes a backrest extending between a first surface and a second surface. The second surface opposes the first surface. A first seat base operably couples with the backrest to form a first seat of the seating assembly. The backrest is pivotable between a first use position and a second use position. A second seat base is operably coupled via a connection interface with the backrest. The second seat base and the backrest form a second seat of the seating assembly in the second use position. The second seat faces away from the first seat in the second use position. A cross-sectional plane intersecting each of the first surface and the second surface defines a cross-sectional area of the backrest that remains constant between the first use position and the second use position of the backrest.
