Patent number: 11920483Abstract: The invention concerns a method for monitoring the operating state of a system for positioning variable-geometry members (18) of a turbomachine (10), the members (18) being configured to travel over an operating area comprising a first position P1 and a second position P2, the method comprising the steps of: —(E23) determining a first pivoting speed V1 from the first position P1 to the second position P2; —(E25) determining a second pivoting speed from the second position P2 to the first position P1; and—(E26) determining an anomaly in the operation of the system for positioning the members (18) if the first speed V1 is lower than a first determined speed threshold and/or if the second speed V2 is lower than a second determined speed threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: SAFRAN HELICOPTER ENGINESInventors: Matthieu Julien Gallot, Philippe Jean René Marie Benezech, Jean-Luc Charles Gilbert Frealle, Luc Jacques Pierre Reberga, Pascal Rizzo

Patent number: 11887313Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using machine learning for foreground mask estimation. A computing platform may receive a set of images and corresponding ground truth foreground masks. Using the set of images and the corresponding ground truth foreground masks, the computing platform may train the first neural network to distinguish between image foregrounds and backgrounds, which may result in a first set of foreground masks. For each image and based on a corresponding foreground mask, the computing platform may estimate a first background clean plate. Using the set of images, the first background clean plates, and a set of corresponding ground truth mask images, the computing platform may train a second neural network, which may configure the second neural network to output foreground masks based on video input information. The computing platform may deploy, to an implementation computing device, the second neural network.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: SplitmediaLabs LimitedInventors: Hugh Ross Sanderson, Henrik Levring, Julien Charles Flack

Patent number: 11820089Abstract: An assembly includes a bag and of a composite panel exhibiting a damaged region to be repaired by polymerization of a repair piece using the bag. The bag includes a sheet intended to be laid over the panel. When the panel and the sheet are laid one atop of the other, the sheet exhibits regions capable of absorbing heat emitted by radiation onto it in a proportion that is dependent on the polymerization temperature needed for that region of the panel that corresponds to it, the radiation being partially absorbed by suitable colouration of the sheet in the region concerned. Determining those regions of the panel in which radiation is less well absorbed than in others means that the heating can be adapted to suit the needs of polymerization in terms of repair and that even polymerization can thus be obtained over the entire damaged region, thereby consolidating the repair.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Inventors: Julien Charles, Franck Dobigeon, Guillaume Ferrer, Anthony Rince

Publication number: 20230356591Abstract: Aspects of the technology relate to assisting a passenger in an autonomous vehicle without a driver. For instance, after a door of the vehicle is opened, a predetermined period of time may be waited by processors of computing devices of the vehicle. After waiting the predetermined period of time and when the vehicle's door remains open, a set of instructions for closing the vehicle's door may be played by the processors through a speaker of the vehicle. Once the door of the vehicle is closed, an announcement may be played by the processors through the speaker requesting that the passenger press a first button to initiate a ride to a destination. In response to the first button being pressed, the ride to the destination may be initiated by the processors by maneuvering the vehicle autonomously to the destination.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Maria Moon, Julien Charles Mercay, Kyle Bechtel, Ryan Powell, Clement Wright

Publication number: 20230347938Abstract: The technology provides enhanced localization approaches using vehicle-obtained information in place of or to enhance global positioning information to localize a user's position. Such information can be shared with the user's client device in real-time prior to pickup or meeting at a selected location. This can supplement or replace inaccurate localization information available at the client device, and can be done as needed when the user is within a threshold range of one or more autonomous vehicles. A client device of a user can compute its position using the vehicle positioning information. The vehicle positioning approach may be performed when the user is within a certain range of one or more vehicles. Vehicle localization information may also be used to correct the client device's localization information. Here, using hyper-accurate vehicle positioning, one or more vehicles can compute pseudorange errors for each “visible” satellite in a global positioning service.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Kevin Malta, Craig Lewin Robinson, Julien Charles Mercay
