Abstract: A multilayer substrate material configured to be applied to a back surface of an upholstery or mattress textile fabric and a front surface configured to contact a user of the upholstery or mattress textile fabric. The multilayer substrate material includes protector, adhesive, film and backcoat layers. The adhesive layer is applied to the protector layer and formed of a number of discrete and non-continuous regions. The film layer is applied to the adhesive layer. The number of discrete and non-continuous regions include an interface between the protector layer and the film layer such that the protector layer touches the film layer at the interface. The backcoat layer is applied to the film layer and includes a non-acrylic binder and a flame retardant material. The number of discrete and non-continuous regions form a number of non-adhesive regions therebetween configured to not resist flexing of the protector, film and backcoat layers.

Abstract: A seating assembly for a vehicle comprises: a seatback; an airbag having a stowed position and an inflated position, the airbag being configured to inflate from the stowed position to the inflated position in response to the vehicle impacting an object; a head restraint coupled to the seatback, the head restraint including a forward position, a rearward position, and a locking mechanism preventing the head restraint from moving from the forward position to the rearward position after taking the forward position; and as the airbag inflates from the stowed position to the inflated position, the airbag forces the head restraint from the rearward position to the forward position.

Abstract: A notification system automatically sends notifications to users based on the defined roles of the notifications. The notification system allows an application to define in a secure manner users to roles. The notification system also allows the users to register in a secure manner their devices with the notification system. The notification system allows the application to then send a notification to users with a target role. Upon receiving the notification, the notification system identifies the devices of the users with the target role and sends the notification to those devices.

Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for relational image querying. A system may receive a search query for content from a client device, where the query specifies one or more objects and one or more spatial relationships between the one or more objects. The system may generate a query vector for the query using a computer-operated neural language model. The system may compare the query vector to an indexed vector for each of the one or more spatial relationships between the one or more objects of an image. The system may determine a listing of relational images from a collection of images based on the comparison. The system may determine a ranking for each image in the listing of relational images, and provide search results responsive to the search query to the client device, which may include a prioritized listing of the relational images based on the determined ranking.

Abstract: A method for receiving an image query from a user via a client device is provided. The method includes determining a user personalized data based on a prior user history, generating a synthetic image with a generative tool, based on the image query and the user personalized data, and evaluating a similarity between the synthetic image and a real image in an image database with a discriminative tool. The method also includes providing the synthetic image to the user for selection and storing a user response to the synthetic image in the prior user history. A system and a non-transitory, computer readable medium storing instructions to cause the system to perform the above method are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein relate to managing an interaction between a sender and one or more receivers. The system may receive an assent request message specifying one or more receivers and/or resources. The system may transmit assent request notification(s) to the receiver(s), via temporary resource provider interfaces, messages, and/or social network interfaces. A subset of the receivers may commit to receiving a resource. The receivers may be validated via a trusted identity database. If a receiver has a valid interaction assertion in the database, then the system may generate an interaction credential for the receiver and a commitment object. The system may process data to facilitate the transfer of the resource. Upon the receiver receiving the resource, the interaction credential may be redeemed. The system may cease availability of the temporary resource provider interfaces after a predetermined time after the sender leaves an arbitrary location.

Abstract: A route is selected for travel by an autonomous vehicle based on at least a level of difficulty of traversing the driving environment along that route. Vehicle signals, provided by one or more autonomous vehicles, indicating a difficulty associated with traveling a portion of a route are collected and used to predict a most favorable driving route for a given time. The signals may indicate a probability of disengaging from autonomous driving mode, a probability of being stuck for an unduly long time, traffic density, etc. A difficulty score may be computed for each road segment of a route, and then the scores of all of the road segments of the route are added together. The scores are based on number of previous disengagements, previous requests for remote assistance, unprotected left or right turns, whether parts of the driving area are occluded, etc. The difficulty score is used to compute a cost for a particular route, which may be compared to costs computed for other possible routes.

Abstract: A system and method are provided which include receiving, by a server computer from a trusted entity computer, user data corresponding to a user. Based on the user data, the server computer determines a set of assertions for the user. The server computer receives, from a relying entity, an assertion request for the user. Responsive to the assertion request, the server computer provides, to the relying entity, an assertion, of the set of assertions. The relying entity thereby grants the user a particular type of account based on the assertion.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to inserts for use with sandwich panels, such as composite panels, and related methods. Presently disclosed inserts may include a retention feature and/or an anti-rotation feature that may be configured to retain the insert in place within a bore formed in the sandwich panel.
