Abstract: A sensor-cleaning system includes a sensor of a vehicle, an electrode, and a computer communicatively coupled to the electrode. The sensor includes a lens. The electrode is positioned to draw dust from the lens when the electrode is energized. The computer is programmed to energize the electrode in response to the vehicle moving and deenergize the electrode in response to the vehicle being stationary.

Abstract: Provided is an adjuvant composition comprising a glycoarchaeol and at least one immunostimulantselected from a Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist and a saponin. The glycoarchaeol and/orimmunostimulant may be present as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The adjuvant compositionmay be comprised together with an antigen in an immunogenic composition, such as a vaccine composition, which may be for use to induce an immune response in a subject. Further provided isuse of the immunogenic composition to induce an immune response in a subject, particularly animmune response that comprises both a cell-mediated response and a humoral response.

Abstract: A lighting system may include a lamp assembly including a lens assembly, wherein the lens assembly includes a first section and a second section, wherein the first and second sections each include a material having variable light transmissivity in response to an applied voltage, and wherein the light transmissivity of the first section is adjustable independent of the light transmissivity of the second section.

Abstract: A sensor apparatus includes a first sensing device, a sensor housing, a bracket, a second sensor, and a channel plate. The sensor housing includes a first sensor window and a top panel, and the first sensing device has a field of view through the first sensor window. The bracket is mounted on top of the top plate. The second sensor is held by the bracket and includes a second sensor window. The channel plate is fixed to the bracket. The bracket includes a first nozzle aimed at the first sensor window and a second nozzle aimed at the second sensor window. The bracket includes a channel fluidly connected to the first nozzle and the second nozzle. The channel plate covers the channel.

Abstract: An online concierge system allows users to order items within discrete time intervals later than a time when an order was received or for short-term fulfillment when the order was received. To account for a number of shoppers available to fulfill orders during different discrete time intervals and numbers of orders for fulfillment during different discrete time intervals, the online concierge system specifies a target rate for orders fulfilled later than a specified discrete time interval and a threshold from the target rate. A trained machine learning model periodically predicts a percentage of orders being fulfilled late, with an order associated with a predicted percentage when the order was received. The online concierge system increases a price of orders associated with predicted percentages greater than the threshold from the target rate. The increased price of an order is determined from a price elasticity curve and the predicted percentage.

Abstract: For each retailer in the geographic region, an online system predicts a number of orders placed at the retailer and a capacity to fulfill orders during a forecast time period. The capacity of the retailer is predicted based on a number of pickers expected to be available to the retailer during the forecast time period. The online system determines demand for the services of a picker at the retailer based on a comparison of the predicted number of orders and the predicted capacity to fulfill those orders. The online system displays a user interactive map of the geographic region to the picker. The map displays a pin at the location of each retailer in the geographic region, which describes the categorization determined for the retailer. The picker selects a pin, which causes the user interactive map to display a notification characterizing the demand for services at the retailer.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system that attempts to reconcile diverse goals and re-cast the goals into something that is quantifiable and optimizable. One way to reconcile diverse goals is by converting these “constraints”—with the huge problems of feasibility—into errors that can be minimized. This disclosure also presents solutions for rate constraints which previously have not been dealt with. The resulting system enables advertisers to dynamically adjust their campaign based on the needs of the moment. Such a system can have advantages in terms of controllability, smoothness, as well as avoiding hard stop conditions that plague the constraint-based approach. In order to achieve this result, solutions are presented for problems of pacing, viewability prediction, and most particularly, error minimization.
