Patent number: 12008717Abstract: An artificial reality environment (XRE) schema is defined that supports anel-controlling interactions between various artificial reality actors. The XRE schema includes a set of definitions for an XRE, independent of type of artificial reality device. The definitions in the XRE schema can include standards for both interfaces and data objects. The XRE schema can define XR elements in terms of entities and components of a space, organized according to a hierarchy. Each entity can represent a real or virtual object or space, within the XRE, defined by a name and a collection of one or more components. Each component (as part of an entity) can define aspects and expose information about the entity. The XRE schema can specify structures that that allow actors (e.g., producers, instantiators, and consumers) to define and perform actions in relation to XRE elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2021Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Meta Platforms Technologies, LLCInventors: Gioacchino Noris, Michal Hlavac, Paul Timothy Furgale, Johannes Joachim Schmid, Anush Mohan, Christopher Richard Tanner

Patent number: 11982601Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of cell sedimentation and retention of target cells, for example circulating tumour cells, CTC, from a fluid sample onto a solid support. The method comprises placing a fluid medium comprising the target cells in a fluid chamber, the fluid chamber having an open end sealed against a surface of the solid support. The method further comprises subjecting the fluid medium to centrifugation within the fluid chamber to induce sedimentation of the target cells and promote cell adhesion to the surface of the solid support. The method further comprises, post-centrifugation, positioning a fluid absorbing element in the fluid chamber to remove fluid from the fluid chamber. The method further comprises controlling a flow rate of the fluid being absorbed by the fluid absorbing element such that the sedimented cells are not detached from the surface of the solid support.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2023Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: ANGLE EUROPE LIMITEDInventors: Alexandre Izmailov, Brian Pak, Tomoyuki Sen, Paul Timothy Smith

Publication number: 20240017720Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor that includes a path planning module. The path planning module causes the processor to determine a nominal driving path for a leading vehicle and a following vehicle that follows the leading vehicle and identify an obstacle in an external environment that prevents one of the leading vehicle and the following vehicle from utilizing the nominal driving path. In response to identifying the obstacle, the path planning module causes the processor to determine an alternate driving path for one of the leading vehicle and the following vehicle that avoids the obstacle and operate the leading vehicle and the following vehicle such that one of the leading vehicle and the following vehicle that is prevented from utilizing the nominal driving path due to the obstacle utilizes the alternate driving path and the other utilizes the nominal driving path.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2022Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicants: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Miles J.
