  • Patent number: 12276511
    Abstract: Disclosed are aspects of a method, carried out by a vehicle data recording device, that includes downloading, from a host data collecting system, a recording target and determining a plurality of possible routes for the vehicle. The method also includes, for each route, generating a route encoding in numerical values an information on predicted values of the route for metrics, a metric being a function assigning a value representing an amount of progress in achieving an elementary recording target to a piece of data. The method additionally includes providing the route encodings and additional environmental information independent of the routes to a reinforcement learning agent that selects one of the routes to optimize a reward. The method further includes recording data from in-vehicle sources while the vehicle drives along the selected route and uploading at least part of the recording data to the host data collecting system.

  • Publication number: 20230036175
    Abstract: Methods of spatially directing the orientation and placement of multiple block copolymer (BCP) domains on isolated regions of a substrate are described. The methods involve epitaxially directing the assembly of BCP domains using spatial boundaries between regions with different surface composition, formed at the edges of isolated chemical regions on a background chemistry. Multiple vertical domains of BCP order on the isolated region, self-aligned in a direction parallel to edges of the isolated region. In some embodiments, vertical domains order on multiple isolated regions of a first chemistry of a chemical contrast pattern with horizontal domains on the regions of a second (background) chemistry of the chemical contrast pattern. Also provided herein are compositions resulting from the methods.

  • Patent number: 11416740
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for an artificial intelligence system. In one aspect, a system includes multiple artificial intelligence skill agents that have each been trained to perform different actions in a telecommunications system. The system also includes an orchestrator agent that interacts with each of the artificial intelligence skill agents and coordinates which of the artificial intelligence agents performs actions in response to user inputs. The orchestrator agent receives a user input and determines an intent expressed by the user input. The orchestrator agent transmits an instruction to an artificial intelligence skill agent to perform an action that provides a response to the intent. In response to receiving the instruction from the orchestrator agent, the artificial intelligence skill agent performs the action when the artificial intelligence skill agent is capable of carrying out the action.
