  • Publication number: 20210287391
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises obtaining first data comprising a first collection of coordinate data representing a position, or positions, of a first group of one or more objects detected in a first frame of a scene and obtaining second data comprising a second collection of coordinate data representing a position, or positions, of a second group of one or more objects detected in a second frame of the scene, wherein the second frame represents a different view of the scene than the first frame. The method further comprises determining whether any of the first group of objects correspond to any of the second group of objects in the scene based on the first collection of coordinate data and the second collection of coordinate data, wherein the first frame and the second frame are obtained from image data captured from a single camera position.

  • Patent number: 11118479
    Abstract: A casing half shell for a turbine system, a steam turbine system and related method are provided. The casing half shell includes a body having an open interior for enclosing parts of the turbine system; a first inlet in the body for delivering a first working fluid flow into the open interior in a first direction; and a second inlet in the body for delivering a second working fluid flow into the open interior in a second direction that is opposed to the first direction. A working fluid dam extends radially and axially in the body between the first inlet and the second inlet, the working fluid dam includes a stress-mitigating slot extending radially therein. A fill member may be mounted in the stress-mitigating slot to provide full functioning of the working fluid dam.

  • Publication number: 20210276083
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are directed to the use of nanoparticles for improving strength fabrication of three-dimensional objects formed through layer-by-layer process in which an ink is delivery of a binder delivered onto successive layers of a powder of inorganic particles in a powder bed. More specifically, nanoparticles of inorganic material can may be introduced into one or more layers of the metal powder in the powder bed and thermally processed to facilitate sinter necking, in the powder bed, of the metal particles forming the three-dimensional object. Such sinter necking in the powder bed can may improve strength of the three-dimensional objects being fabricated and, also or instead, can may reduce the likelihood of defects associated with subsequent processing of the three-dimensional objects (e.g., slumping and shrinking in a final sintering stage and/or inadequate densification of the final part).

  • Publication number: 20210279648
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for replacing a canceled accommodation for a guest user using reserved accommodations. In an embodiment, an accommodation management system retrieves information describing historical bookings and listings for accommodations in a region. The system determines common attributes of the listings and a historical cancelation rate of bookings. The system determines an amount of listings to reserve for a time period based on the historical cancelation rate and moves, from an available listing database to a reserved listing database, the amount of listings for the region, each listing including common attributes. The system sends an indication to each host user of the moved listings that the listing has become unavailable for the time period. The system receives an indication that a booking for a guest user has been canceled and books one of the listings in the reserved listing database for the guest user.

  • Publication number: 20210279647
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for replacing an accommodation of a canceled booking for a guest user. In an embodiment, an accommodation management system receives, from a homestay application, an indication that a booking for the accommodation in a region by the guest user over a time period has been canceled. The system retrieves a homestay listing associated with the booking and retrieves attributes of the homestay listing. The system maps each attribute to a set of similar attributes in an equivalence table. The system retrieves a set of available hotel listings in the region for the same time period and determines attributes of each available hotel listing. The system determines a set of comparable hotel listings that each include similar attributes to the homestay listing and sends a command to book a comparable hotel listing the guest user during the time period.

  • Publication number: 20210279646
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for replacing a listing of a canceled booking for a guest user. In an embodiment, an accommodation management system receives an indication that a booking by the guest user has been canceled. The system retrieves, from an attribute database, attributes of the canceled listing and maps each attribute to a set of similar attributes in an equivalence table. The system retrieves, from a listing database, a set of comparable listings, each of which includes one or more of the mapped similar attributes and available during the same time period as the canceled booking. The system books one of the comparable listings for the guest user during the time period by populating a booking data structure with a connection between the comparable listing and the guest user.

  • Publication number: 20210272567
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to initializing performance of an automated assistant routine and/or dismissing an alarm pre-emptively according to satisfaction of one or more conditions. A condition can be satisfied by a user acknowledging the alarm when the alarm is going off, or causing the alarm to be dismissed prior to a time at which the alarm was scheduled for. The user can cause the alarm to be dismissed pre-emptively by interacting with the automated assistant prior to the time the alarm was scheduled for and/or interacting with a device, which is known to the automated assistant, prior to the time that the alarm was scheduled for. In this way, actions that cause an alarm to be dismissed can be recognized and used to initialize other processes, such as an automated assistant routine, thereby reducing a number of inputs needed from a user.

  • Publication number: 20210253876
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a composition comprising a pigment, wherein the composition is suitable for coating a surface that is, or is expected to be, exposed to the sun. The pigment comprises particles that fluoresce in sunlight, thereby remaining cooler in the sun than coatings pigmented with non-fluorescent particles. The particles comprise solids that fluoresce or glow in the visible or near infrared (NIR) spectra, or that fluoresce when doped. Suitable dopants include, but are not limited to, ions of rare earths and transition metals. A coating composition includes: (i) a film-forming resin; (ii) an infrared reflective pigment; and (iii) an infrared fluorescent pigment different from the infrared reflective pigment.

  • Patent number: 11095973
    Abstract: Aspects describe a nozzle including a first flexible portion and a second rigid portion. The rigid portion is less flexible than the flexible portion. When positioned in a user's ear, the flexible portion extends a section of the earbud housing towards an ear canal of a user and the rigid portion couples a removable sealing structure to the earbud housing. In aspects, the flexible portion provides comfort by allowing a sealing structure to flex and accommodate a wearer's ear and the rigid portion provides structure for the feedback microphone to be placed close to the user's ear canal for ANR.
