  • Patent number: 10663772
    Abstract: Provided is an active lens structure. The active lens structure has a configuration in which a polarization switching section and a polarization dependent lens section are integrally formed, wherein a lattice structure is formed on an upper surface of a liquid crystal phase polymer layer of the polarization dependent lens section, and the liquid crystal phase polymer layer is aligned in a top-down manner and is used as a lower alignment film of a liquid crystal layer. Therefore, the polarization switching section of the active lens structure can be fabricated without any lower alignment film and any lower glass substrate, so that it is possible to minimize the total thickness and simplifying the manufacturing process.

  • Publication number: 20200051194
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling autonomous vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain data indicative of a service assignment associated with an autonomous vehicle. The service assignment is indicative of a destination location to which to transport a user. The computing system can obtain data indicative of an item associated with the user that is to be transported to the destination location. The computing system can determine a first drop-off location for the user and a second drop-off location for the item based at least in part on the destination location. The first drop-off location for the user is different than the second drop-off location for the item. The computing system can cause the autonomous vehicle to initiate motion control to travel to the first drop-off location for the user and to travel to the second drop-off location for the item.
