  • Publication number: 20250145864
    Abstract: A self-adhesive laminate material and method of manufacture thereof in which a water-soluble coating applied to a print-receptive coating on a first side of the material is transferred to an adhesive on a second side of the material. When the material is rolled up, the water-soluble coating transfers from the first side to the second side, thereby offering protection to the adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20250140101
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, methods, and media for an emergency response data exchange system. The system provides an operations center emergency management application with a textual and/or graphical notification of emergency communications initiated on a premises managed by the operations center. The system exchanges operations center data (e.g., floorplans, video feeds, point of contact information, building access controls) with an emergency communications center (ECC) and/or with a first responder device to facilitate reducing emergency response times. The system selectively establishes communications (e.g., messaging windows) between the operations center, ECC, and/or first responder device to facilitate real-time information sharing between relevant parties of an emergency.

  • Publication number: 20250128611
    Abstract: A work machine using a direct current power system that isolates reactive loads is described herein. The work machine uses a machine power distribution unit that receives direct current power from two or more battery banks of a power unit, whereby each of the battery banks deliver electrical power on a separate direct current bus. A machine power distribution unit of the work machine receives the electrical power from the battery and is used to isolate the power using bus connectors. One of the battery banks provides power to one direct current bus of the work machine and another battery bank provides power to another direct current bus of the work machine. A reactive load serviced by one of the battery banks is electrically disconnected from another reactive load serviced by the other battery bank.

  • Patent number: 12265666
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described that facilitate ambient computing using a radar system. Compared to other smart devices that rely on a physical user interface, a smart device with a radar system can support ambient computing by providing an eye-free interaction and less cognitively demanding gesture-based user interface. The radar system can be designed to address a variety of challenges associated with ambient computing, including power consumption, environmental variations, background noise, size, and user privacy. The radar system uses an ambient-computing machine-learned module to quickly recognize gestures performed by a user up to at least two meters away. The ambient-computing machine-learned module is trained to filter background noise and have a sufficiently low false positive rate to enhance the user experience.

  • Publication number: 20250094454
    Abstract: This application is directed to an integrated multimodal neural network driven by a natural language prompt. A computer system obtains sensor data from a plurality of sensor devices disposed in a physical environment during a time duration. One or more information items are generated to characterize one or more signature events detected within the time duration in the sensor data. The computer system obtains a natural language prompt. In response to the natural language prompt, the computer system applies a large behavior model (e.g., a large language model, a data processing model) to process the one or more information items and the natural language prompt jointly and generate a multimodal output (e.g., textual statements, software code, an image or video, an information dashboard having a predefined format, a user interface, and a heatmap). The multimodal output associated with the sensor data is represented.

  • Publication number: 20250068860
    Abstract: This application is directed to compressing sensor data. A computer system obtains the sensor data from a plurality of sensor devices disposed in a physical environment during a time duration, and each sensor device corresponds to a temporal sequence of respective sensor samples. For each of the plurality of sensor devices, the temporal sequence of respective sensor samples is processed to generate an ordered sequence of respective sensor data features defining a respective parametric representation of the temporal sequence of respective sensor samples, independently of a sensor type of the respective sensor device. The computer system detects one or more signature events within the time duration based on the respective parametric representations of the plurality of sensor devices, and generates one or more information items characterizing the one or more signature events detected in the sensor data.

  • Publication number: 20250068885
    Abstract: This application is directed to integrated multimodal neural networks. A computer system obtains sensor data from a plurality of sensor devices during a time duration, and the plurality of sensor devices include at least two distinct senor types and are disposed in a physical environment. One or more signature events are detected in the sensor data, and one or more information items are generated to characterize the one or more signature events detected in the sensor data, independently of the sensor types of the sensor devices. A large behavior model is applied to process the one or more information items and generate a multimodal output associated with the sensor data. The multimodal output describes the signature events associated with the sensor data in one of a plurality of predefined output modalities. The multimodal output is presented according to the one of the plurality of predefined output modalities.
