  • Patent number: 12210360
    Abstract: A method includes receiving sensor data collected by an autonomous mobile robot as the autonomous mobile robot moves about an environment, the sensor data being indicative of sensor events and locations associated with the sensor events. The method includes identifying a subset of the sensor events based on the locations. The method includes providing, to a user computing device, data indicative of a recommended behavior control zone in the environment, the recommended behavior control zone containing a subset of the locations associated with the subset of the sensor events. The method includes defining, in response to a user selection from the user computing device, a behavior control zone such that the autonomous mobile robot initiates a behavior in response to encountering the behavior control zone, the behavior control zone being based on the recommended behavior control zone.

  • Patent number: 12210040
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed towards integrating a shield layer into a current sensor to shield a magnetic field sensing element and associated circuitry in the current sensor from electrical, voltage, or electrical transient noise. In an embodiment, a shield layer may be disposed along at least one surface of a die supporting a magnetic field sensing element. The shield layer may be disposed in various arrangements to shunt noise caused by a parasitic coupling between the magnetic field sensing element and the current carrying conductor away from the magnetic field sensing element.

  • Publication number: 20250025629
    Abstract: A treatment delivery system includes a fluid delivery system connected to a first fluid reservoir and a second fluid reservoir. The system directs a first fluid from the first fluid reservoir to a treatment site and directs a second fluid from the second fluid reservoir to the treatment site and a control unit to control the fluid delivery system according to a treatment process comprising a flow of the first fluid and the second fluid, the treatment process including multiple phases. A first phase includes a controlled delivery of the first fluid from the first fluid reservoir to the treatment site. A second phase of the plurality of phases includes a controlled delivery of the second fluid from the second fluid reservoir to the treatment site, the control unit automatically activating a transition from at least the first phase to the second phase.

  • Publication number: 20250018940
    Abstract: Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for mitigating lane departures, alternatively referred to as lane keeping assistance. One method of assisting vehicle operation involves determining a control trajectory for the vehicle over a prediction horizon that satisfies one or more steering angle constraints for operating a steering system of the vehicle based at least in part on a current steering angle, a first difference between the control trajectory and a reference lateral trajectory for the vehicle and a second difference between the control trajectory and a lane boundary, for example, by minimizing a weighted sum of the differences. The method continues by determining a steering angle command for the vehicle based at least in part on the control trajectory and autonomously operating one or more actuators onboard the vehicle in accordance with the steering angle command prior to the vehicle crossing the lane boundary.

  • Publication number: 20240427753
    Abstract: A performance measurement indexing system indexes a data store containing data entries indicative of message processing by an application. The application includes a plurality of checkpoints, and the data store contains data logged upon each message traversing the checkpoints in the application. The performance measurement indexing system determines which data entries relate to messages that satisfy a delay condition, and limits queries run on the data store to those data entries, thereby increasing the speed and efficiency with which queries can be serviced.

  • Publication number: 20240408342
    Abstract: A respiratory mask system includes a mask interface and a headgear assembly. The headgear assembly is adjustable and comprised of an elastic portion, a non-elastic portion and a restriction mechanism configured to provide a force resisting movement of the non-elastic portion when the elastic portion is extended. There is a support beam coupled to the non-elastic portion and extending along a portion of the headgear that is curved along its longitudinal extent. In this way particular seal modules can be comfortably fitted to a user and any blow off force is mitigated. A particular example of the respiratory mask system includes provision for removable attachment between the seal and a mask frame, the mask frame and a yoke of the headgear; and between a conduit and the mask frame.

  • Publication number: 20240256238
    Abstract: A monitoring system monitors processing of incoming messages by an application, and logs data related to performance of the application. The application includes a plurality of checkpoints, and the monitoring system logs data upon each message traversing the checkpoints in the application. The monitoring system is configured to dynamically modify checkpoints within the application based on latency detection of portions of the application, resulting in improved granularity/resolution of the data collected from congested portions of the application, and reducing the performance penalty of the monitoring system from portions of the application that are not congested.

  • Publication number: 20240195739
    Abstract: Disclosed is a self-contained mesh radio extension unit, comprising a receiving sleeve having an open volume and a first data connector for communicative coupling to a communication device or cellular phone inserted in the open volume. A low-gain internal antenna and a high-gain external antenna are coupled to a digital data link (DDL) with a first DDL operating frequency. The DDL provides bidirectional internet protocol (IP) connectivity between the first data connector and a peer-to-peer meshed communication network, controlling one or more of the antennae as transceivers at the first DDL operating frequency. An integrated power supply system powers the DDL and includes a rechargeable internal battery and an external power interface. A control system automatically routes IP packets received or transmitted by the DDL and includes a network address translation (NAT) router and an IP addressing service for assigning and tracking IP addresses across the peer-to-peer meshed communication network.
