  • Patent number: 10547974
    Abstract: To obtain a relative localization between a plurality of mobile devices, a first mobile device observes a second mobile device within a field of view of the first mobile device's camera at time t1, determines a first position of the first mobile device at t1, and receives from the second mobile device a second position of the second mobile device at t1. The first mobile device determines information about the first mobile device's orientation with respect to the second mobile device at t1 based at least in part on the first position and the observation of the second mobile device. The first mobile device identifies two constraints that relate the mobile devices' coordinate systems based at least in part on the second position and the orientation information. The first mobile device's pose relative to the second mobile device may be calculated once at least six constraints are accumulated.

  • Patent number: 10534817
    Abstract: Configurations for sharing an instance of an executing process for a plug-in based on a session and a cookie data store associated with the session are disclosed. A cookie data store can be associated with a tab running in a corresponding security mode. By way of example, instead of initiating a new process for the plug-in in a new tab, the subject technology can first determine whether a previous tab is running an instance of a plug-in process. If this is the case, the subject technology can then determine whether the previous tab is running in the same security mode (e.g., protected or unprotected) as the new tab. The subject technology then shares the existing plug-in process in the previous tab without instantiating a new plug-in process in the new tab.

  • Publication number: 20200005486
    Abstract: Computing devices and methods for estimating a pose of a user computing device are provided. In one example a 3D map comprising a plurality of 3D points representing a physical environment is obtained. Each 3D point is transformed into a 3D line that passes through the point to generate a 3D line cloud. A query image of the environment captured by a user computing device is received, the query image comprising query features that correspond to the environment. Using the 3D line cloud and the query features, a pose of the user computing device with respect to the environment is estimated.

  • Patent number: 10519522
    Abstract: The method for purifying oses from hemicellulose originating from lignocellulosic biomass includes eliminating the cellulose matrix and the solid residues and/or the suspended materials from the acid hydrolysate containing oses in order to obtain a clarified hydrolysate, and subjecting the clarified hydrolysate, without adding any basic chemical reagent to increase the pH to at least one step of ultrafiltration and/or to at least one step of nanofiltration, so as to obtain a filtrate containing the majority of the pentoses and a retentate containing the species likely to precipitate under the effect of an increase in the pH. The filtrate is treated by at least one step of electrodialysis so as to recover the acid catalyst from an acid-supplemented solution, and obtain a deacidified filtrate.

  • Patent number: 10523341
    Abstract: A method includes deactivating transmitters of a first plurality of transceivers that are associated with an endpoint to multi-channel communication fabric. A given transceiver of the first plurality of transceivers includes a receiver. The method includes controlling the given transceiver to cause the given transceiver to couple a reference source of the given transceiver to a first node of the receiver, measure a first value at a second node of the receiver, and determine a gain between the first node and the second node based on the measured first value. The method includes controlling the given receiver to cause the given receiver to isolate the reference source from the first node of the receiver; and measuring, by the given transceiver, a second value at the second node and determining, by the given transceiver, an intrinsic noise based on the measured second value.

  • Patent number: 10507600
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a monolithic component having internal wall(s), including separately placing uncured composite material on a mold parts, placing the mold parts on a support plate with a portion of the uncured composite material extending between and in contact with the adjacent mold parts, interconnecting the adjacent mold parts through a connection allowing limited relative movement on the support plate along a direction corresponding to a thickness of the uncured composite material therebetween, biasing the adjacent mold part toward each other along the limited relative movement to provide a compressive force on the uncured composite material extending therebetween, and curing the composite material to obtain the monolithic component with each internal wall being formed between adjacent mold parts. The bias causes the adjacent mold parts to move toward each other as the thickness of uncured material extending therebetween reduces during curing. A tool assembly is also discussed.
