  • Patent number: 12330593
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a lockable rooftop carrier clamp having a housing with a bore for accepting a frusto-conically shaped locking post. At least one, and preferably a pair of bolts are biased inwardly into the bore to capture the locking post. The bolts can be moved transversely outwardly by a cam on the outside wall of a hollow rotor located in the bore for pivotal rotation about an axis defined by the bore. The pivoting of the rotor is only allowed by the proper orientation of a tumbler core in a tumbler lock, which then allows either rotation of a release lever or retraction of a locking pin.

  • Publication number: 20250191393
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, using at least one processing device of an electronic device, a sequence of images of a scene. The method also includes performing, using the at least one processing device, instance segmentation of the sequence of images to generate a sequence of segmented images. Performing the instance segmentation includes (i) segmenting each of the images into semantic classes and (ii) separately identifying two or more objects in the scene associated with a common semantic class, where different semantic classes are associated with different types of image contents. The method further includes processing, using the at least one processing device, the sequence of segmented images to generate a final image of the scene. The sequence of segmented images is processed using one or more image processing operations determined using a natural language processing (NLP) engine.

  • Patent number: 12324999
    Abstract: A filter assembly comprising a housing, a filter, a heater, hose fittings, a heat bridge, and insulators. The housing defines interior and exterior regions communicating through apertures. The filter separate the housing into a region upstream of the filter comprising an aperture, and a region downstream of the filter comprising an aperture. The heater extends into the interior region. The hose fittings are each coincident with an aperture and are formed of a material having a high thermal conductivity. The heat bridge is formed of a material having a high thermal conductivity and thermally connects the heater to the hose fittings. The insulators each are formed of a material having a low thermal conductivity, and each at least partially cover a hose fitting.

  • Publication number: 20250164263
    Abstract: An optimization and recommendation engine can receive user location data to programmatically generate customized recommendations regarding the user's operation as a potential service provider for a network service. The optimization and recommendation engine can determine potential service routes based on the user location data indicating a frequent route of the user and on service data associated with the network service. The optimization and recommendation engine can also perform multivariate optimizations to select one or more optimal service routes from the potential service routes. The recommendations can include the one or more optimal service routes as well as parameters associated with such routes. The recommendations can further include a comparison of the parameters against characteristics of the user's frequent route.

  • Publication number: 20250093193
    Abstract: A housing assembly for a fluid sensor assembly includes a housing having a first and second sensing volumes. A fluid port attached to the housing has a porous membrane covering first and second fluid apertures. The first sensing volume included a vertically-oriented waveguide and is fluidly coupled to an exterior of the housing through the first fluid aperture, where the first aperture port has an area smaller than an area of a cross section of the waveguide. The second sensing volume is coupled to the exterior of the housing through the second fluid aperture, the second fluid aperture having an area larger than a cross section of the second sensing volume. While the first sensing volume and the second sensing volume are both in fluid communication with an exterior of the housing, the fluid port and porous membrane internally isolate the first sensing volume from the second sensing volume.
