  • Publication number: 20240393494
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques to identify material properties from measured physical response data in ways that are more efficient than conventional numerical inversion. Systems and techniques of the present disclosure may use machine learning (ML) techniques to generate mappings that map specific physical responses to specific material properties based on knowledge of factors that may be inherent to certain types of sensing equipment. Data generated by a ML computer model may be constrained, altered, or filtered to more closely correspond to characteristics known to be associated with a certain type of sensing equipment. Such a constrained model may identify fewer possible results as compared to an unconstrained model, thereby, solving problems that may be encountered when using ML techniques to identify material properties from measured responses.

  • Publication number: 20240391557
    Abstract: A hybrid pump-action vehicle and therapy device may include a pumping arm attached to a lower pump-action assembly. As the pumping arm is actuated, the lower pump-action assembly moves forward and rearward in response to the pumping action and powers movement of the vehicle. The lower pump-action assembly may be releasably connected to the pump arm so that the pump arm can be disengaged from the pumping action but still be usable for steering. A motor may also be provided to provide assistance or full power to the vehicle based on a user-selectable amount of assistance. And finally, the vehicle may be configured such that it can be collapsed to a fraction of its operating footprint to enable easy transport and storage.

  • Publication number: 20240377879
    Abstract: Real-world users of an event simulation system can playback a digital representation of an event that is mapped onto a virtual model of a real-world venue to simulate the event being presented at a real-world venue. As the real-world users are viewing this virtual event, these users can virtually interact with the virtual event, for example, move around the virtual event to view the virtual event at various locations and/or modify parameters, characteristics, and/or attributes of the virtual event. Thereafter, the event simulation system can propagate these modifications across multiple real-world users of the event simulation system to allow these real-world users to collaboratively interact with the virtual event.
