Abstract: A method is provided comprising receiving log data associated with a vehicle traversing a real-world environment, and inputting the log data into a search algorithm. A first modified value of a first parameter associated with the log data is received from the search algorithm. The search algorithm determines the first modified value based on a first simulation score associated with occurrence of a first event in a first run of a driving simulation. The first run of the driving simulation includes an autonomous vehicle and is based at least in part on the first modified value of the first parameter. First modified log data based at least in part on the first modified value of the first parameter is output, and may be used for training a machine learning model such as a machine learning model for controlling an autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for obtaining and managing remote sensing data (e.g. Earth observation data). A remote sensing platform obtains imagery and other remote sensing data of the Earth and other planetary objects. The remote sensing platform includes the International Space Station, or manned and unmanned spacecraft or aircraft. A sensor captures observation data and transmits the data to ground stations on the Earth. A ground segment receives and stores the data. Users use an order management system to place orders for the observation data, which specify processing parameters for the remote sensing data. The remote sensing data is retrieved from storage is processed according to the parameters to generate a data product. This system provides tools for searching and analyzing the data, and for interacting with the system through an API. The system combines data that is produced by the remote sensing platform and by third parties.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a spoken utterance that includes a plurality of words, and generating, using a neural network-based utterance classifier comprising a stack of multiple Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) layers, a respective textual representation for each word of the of the plurality of words of the spoken utterance. The neural network-based utterance classifier trained on negative training examples of spoken utterances not directed toward an automated assistant server. The method further including determining, using the respective textual representation generated for each word of the plurality of words of the spoken utterance, that the spoken utterance is one of directed toward the automated assistant server or not directed toward the automated assistant server, and when the spoken utterance is directed toward the automated assistant server, generating instructions that cause the automated assistant server to generate a response to the spoken utterance.

In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving first audio data of a first utterance. The actions further include obtaining a first transcription of the first utterance. The actions further include receiving second audio data of a second utterance. The actions further include obtaining a second transcription of the second utterance. The actions further include determining whether the second utterance includes a query directed to a query processing system based on analysis of the second transcription and the first transcription or a response to the first query. The actions further include configuring the data routing component to provide the second transcription of the second utterance to the query processing system as a second query or bypass routing the second transcription.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention features a barbell including a first end portion, a second end portion, and a middle portion, where the middle portion is couplable to the first end portion and the second end portion. The middle portion includes a male coupling extending from a first end of the middle portion, the male coupling providing a first coupling mechanism that engages with a corresponding female coupling of the first end portion, and a female coupling providing a second coupling mechanism that engages with a corresponding male coupling of the second end portion.

Abstract: A multi-panel skirt system for a flatbed includes two pair of forward and aft skirt panels with each pair located on an opposite lateral sides of the flatbed. In each pair, the forward skirt panel extends along the lateral side edge generally in the lengthwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge, which is located adjacent to and aligned with or positioned laterally inboard of the lateral side edge of the flatbed. An aft skirt panel extends along the lateral side edge generally in the lengthwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge aft of the forward skirt panel, which trailing edge is located adjacent to and aligned with or positioned laterally inboard of the lateral side edge. The leading edge of the aft skirt panel is positioned laterally inboard of the trailing edge of the forward skirt panel.

Abstract: A system includes first electronic device in communication with a second electronic device. The first electronic device has one or more motion detectors determining an orientation of the first electronic device in three-dimensional space and a first communication device communicating an indication of the orientation of the first electronic device to the second electronic device. The second electronic device has at least a first audio output and a second audio output delivering audio signals to an environment of the second electronic device. A second communication device receives the indication of the orientation of the first electronic device in the three-dimensional space. One or more processors cause at least one of the first audio output and/or the second audio output to alter the audio signals when the orientation of the first electronic device in the three-dimensional space changes.

Abstract: A modular audio system which includes an acoustic module (104) configured to be removably engaged with a head-worn peripheral device. In some examples, the head-worn peripheral device is a pair of eyeglass frames and the acoustic module is configured to removably secure to a socket arranged on the inside face of the temples of the eyeglasses. The acoustic module may be configured to magnetically engage with the peripheral device such that, in a resting, coupled position, respective components of magnetic retention force are provided in at least two axial directions that are orthogonal to each other i.e., a first component of magnetic retention force is provided in a first (horizontal) axial direction and a second component of magnetic retention force is provided in a second (vertical) axial direction.
