Publication number: 20240090783Abstract: A heart rate monitor may include a strap and a heart rate monitoring pod releasably coupled to the strap. A securement element may be disposed in the strap to selectively secure the pod to the strap. The pod may be selectively removable from the securement element and include one or more charger contacts. The pod may include one or more LEDs and/or vibrating elements to provide a light animation feedback and/or a haptic feedback to a user. A charger may be provided to charge the pod. The charger and pod may have complementary shapes to align the pod on the charger. For example, placement of the pod on the charger may align the charger contacts of the pod with one or more charging elements (e.g., pins) disposed in the charger.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Kah Jon GOO, Benjamin G.

Publication number: 20240027303Abstract: A vehicle is received in a stationary controlled area of a controlled testing environment. Simulation inputs corresponding to a simulated scene are generated and transmitted to the vehicle. The vehicle applies torque in response. A vehicle control mechanism of the controlled testing environment, such as a chassis dynamometer, a motorized treadmill, or a lift, keeps the vehicle within the stationary controlled area during the test despite the torque applied by the vehicle. A path of the vehicle within the simulated scene is determined based on the applied torque, based upon which the vehicle's navigation system is calibrated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Mahesh Seetharaman, Kevin Chu, Dennis Jackson

Publication number: 20230315112Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to generating an occupancy grid movie for utilization in motion planning for the autonomous vehicle. The occupancy grid movie can be generated for a given time and can include time-stepped occupancy grids for future times that are at predefined time intervals from the given time. The time-stepped occupancy grids include cells corresponding to regions in an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle. Probabilities can be assigned to the cells specifying likelihoods that the regions corresponding to the cells are occupied at the future times. Moreover, cached query objects that respectively specify indices of cells of a grid occupied by a representation of an autonomous vehicle at corresponding orientations are described herein. An occupancy grid for the environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle can be queried to determine whether cells of the occupancy grid are occupied utilizing a cached query object from the cache query objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Gabriel Warshauer-Baker, Kevin Chu

Patent number: 11023855Abstract: Techniques for generating an electronic request based on sensor data of an ARD are described. In an example, a computer system receives a message from the ARD The message includes the sensor data and an identifier of the ARD. The computer system identifies the item from a profile associated with the ARD based on the identifier, and determines an amount of the item stored by the ARD based on the sensor data. Further, the computer system generates the electronic request for a replacement amount of the item based on the amount of the item, on a rule, and on a constraint. The electronic request identifies the item and the ARD. The rule specifies a customization of the electronic request based on the item. The constraint specifies a limit on the customization based on the identifier. The computer system causes a delivery of the replacement amount based on the electronic request.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Allison Kramer, Kevin Chu, Samuel Stevens Heyworth, Devon Merritt
