  • Publication number: 20230050054
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for analyzing existing interactive web sites to facilitate automatic engagement with those web sites, e.g., by automated assistants or via other user interfaces, with minimal effort from the hosts of those websites. For example, in various implementations, techniques described herein may be used to abstract, validate, maintain, generalize, extend and/or distribute individual actions and “traces” of actions that are useable to navigate through various interactive websites. Additionally, techniques are described herein for leveraging these actions and/or traces to automate aspects of interaction with a third party website.

  • Publication number: 20230026521
    Abstract: A method includes, while a user device is using a first presentation mode to present content to a user, obtaining a current state of the user of the user device. The method also includes, based on the current state of the user, providing, as output from a user interface of the user device, a user-selectable option that when selected causes the user device to use a second presentation mode to present the content to the user. The method further includes, in response to receiving a user input indication indicating selection of the user-selectable option, initiating presentation of the content using the second presentation mode.

  • Publication number: 20210242931
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology relate to an environmental sensor system that uses different types of detector units as part of an onboard lightning detection and evaluation system for a high altitude platform (HAP) operating in the stratosphere. These sensor suites may be employed with balloons and other high altitude platforms during operation in the stratosphere. Onboard data processing and analysis may be done either in real time or on stored data sets. The processing system can use the gathered sensor information to mitigate issues related to lightning-related transients. The information can also be used in route planning and real-time navigation of HAPs when hazardous conditions are detected. It can also be employed in a back-end control system for long-term route planning and fleet management.

  • Patent number: 10499995
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a navigation method and system which does not require a remotely located tracking system, or additional targets or other devices to be installed on the patient or object being tracked. The system uses one flexible component in physical contact with the patient/object and measures relative position as a function of forces that are generated by the flexing component as it is bent. The system translates forces into navigational commands for a robot, other manipulator, or for human manual navigation. A method for transforming a pre-planned motion pathway into a sequence of forces for this mode of navigation is also described. This system is also applicable in the field of manufacturing robotics, where the locations of objects or assemblies may not be precisely known or constant. The method and system disclosed herein can be used to maintain known position of an object/assembly or to navigate movement of a robot relative to an object/assembly as in the case of machining.

  • Patent number: 9776664
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vehicle including a frame having a side sill reinforcement, the side sill reinforcement running along a length of a side of the frame, and an impact transmission structure mounted to and extending laterally outward from an exterior surface of the side sill reinforcement, the impact transmission structure having a stiffness approximately equal to a stiffness of the side sill reinforcement and being configured to communicate an impact force resulting from a side impact into the vehicle into the frame and not absorb the impact force.

  • Patent number: 8909650
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for providing an ordered arrangement of data items pertaining to contacts. The order of the arrangement may be determined based on a comparison of ranks of the contacts. An exemplary method comprises registering communications between the user and the contacts. The communications may include active communications originating from the user and terminating at a contact and passive communications originating from a contact and terminating at the user. The exemplary method also comprises determining a rank of a contact based on a comparison of occurrences of the active and the passive communications between the user and the contact.

  • Patent number: 8090687
    Abstract: A system and program product having at least one subscriber subscribing to topics from one or more data sources. The number of subscriptions for each data source are registered in a table in real time. Upon detecting subscription activity, a matching routine compares the number of subscriptions registered for the available data source with a predetermined value, and if the number of subscribers exceeds the predetermined value a data source process corresponding to the data source will be started, and messages from the data source will be sent to the data source subscriber/s, otherwise, the data source provider will be stopped and not longer send messages.

  • Publication number: 20110197140
    Abstract: There is provided a system and method for providing an ordered arrangement of data items pertaining to contacts of a user. The order of the arrangement may be determined based on a comparison of ranks of the contacts. An exemplary method comprises registering communications in at least two communication formats between the user and the contacts. A weight may be assigned to each communication format. The exemplary method also comprises determining a rank of a contact based on the communications registered for the contact. A communication may be incorporated into the determination of the rank with a weight. Further, the weight may be determined based on the weight assigned to the communication format used for the communication.
