  • Publication number: 20250135663
    Abstract: A component of a system, including: processor circuitry; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processor circuitry to: receive image data of an object captured by a camera; analyze a visual feature of the object based on the received image data; generate illumination patterns based on the analyzed visual feature; and control arrays of light sources integrated into a plurality of fingers of a robotic gripper to project the illumination patterns within a grasp volume defined by the plurality of fingers during object manipulation to enhance detection of the visual feature of the object, wherein each light source in the arrays of light sources is individually controllable.

  • Publication number: 20250062168
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a patterned stiffener that includes a metallic body, which is a component of and is attached to a semiconductor device platform for providing rigidity. In an aspect, there are patterned sections formed on the metallic body that act to modulate the metallic body to obtain a desired configuration for the semiconductor device platform. In another aspect, the present disclosure is also directed to a method that includes providing a platform for forming an electronic component, disposing a stiffener having a metallic body on the platform, disposing at least one semiconductor device onto the platform, performing one or more bonding process steps, and exposing the stiffener to localized heating to modulate changes in the stiffener to a pre-determined shape or desired configuration.

  • Patent number: 12122206
    Abstract: Example illustrations are directed to a suspension system for a vehicle and methods. In some examples, a controller of a suspension system is configured to determine the vehicle is in a service environment, and to set a height precision mode for the suspension system based on the determination the vehicle is in the service environment. In some examples, the controller is configured to detect a suspension operating condition of the vehicle, and to change a setting associated with the suspension system based on the suspension operating condition. An example method comprises detecting, using a controller, a suspension operating condition of a suspension system of a vehicle. The method may further include changing, using the controller, a setting associated with the suspension system based upon the suspension operating condition.

  • Publication number: 20230365314
    Abstract: A tamper-evident bag assembly that can be sealed to enclose contents within the bag assembly in a tamper-evident manner. The bag assembly is provided with closure tabs that can be folded over the top edges of the bag assembly and sealed to a side panel of the bag. Strategic portions of the bag assembly can be scored to indicate tampering if unsealing of the adhesive takes place. The bag assembly is also provided with a pull tab designed facilitate opening of the sealed bag assembly to reveal the contents contained therein. When the pull tab is used to open the sealed bag, the bag cannot be re-sealed.

  • Patent number: 11634000
    Abstract: Example illustrations are directed to a suspension system for a vehicle, which includes a controller configured to determine a roughness of a ground surface associated with the vehicle. The controller may be further configured to determine a height adjustment parameter for the suspension system based on the roughness determined, and to facilitate modification of the suspension system based on the determined height adjustment parameter. Example methods are provided, which may include determining, using a controller, a roughness of a ground surface associated with a vehicle, the roughness determined based on ride height. The method may also include determining, using the controller, a height adjustment parameter for a suspension system of the vehicle based on the roughness determined.
