  • Patent number: 12182595
    Abstract: Conversation user interfaces that are configured for virtual assistant interaction may include contextual interface items that are based on contextual information. The contextual information may relate to a current or previous conversation between a user and a virtual assistant and/or may relate to other types of information, such as a location of a user, an orientation of a device, missing information, and so on. The conversation user interfaces may additionally, or alternatively, control an input mode based on contextual information, such as an inferred input mode of a user or a location of a user. Further, the conversation user interfaces may tag conversation items by saving the conversation items to a tray and/or associating the conversation items with indicators.

  • Publication number: 20240390602
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a component for a drug delivery device which is configured to be connected to an arrangement of the drug delivery device and which includes a functional element. At least when the component is connected to the arrangement, a transition region is formed between facing surfaces of elements of the drug delivery device, wherein at least one of these elements is an element of the component. The transition region reaches from the exterior of the component to the interior of the component and is designed such that the risk of fluid reaching from the exterior into the interior of the component via the transition region is reduced in order to protect the functional element.

  • Publication number: 20240382108
    Abstract: Neurodegeneration can be assessed based on a gait signature, using a machine-learning model trained on gait metrics acquired for a patient, in conjunction with cognitive test data and neuropathology information about the patient. The gait signature can be derived from gait kinematic data, e.g., as obtained with a video-based, marker-less motion capture system.

  • Patent number: 12076134
    Abstract: Example posture analysis systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a computing system identifies a deviation of a user's posture from a predetermined posture based on visual data associated with the user. The user is informed of the deviation via a graphical image displayed on a display device. The user is then provided with instructions for correcting the deviation via the graphical image displayed on the display device.

  • Publication number: 20240190189
    Abstract: Aspects of tire sensor auto-location are described. Tire temperature values are received for a set of tire sensor devices. Each tire sensor device provides a tire-specific subset of the tire temperature values. A vehicle configuration indicates that the vehicle has a dual tire setup. The tire temperature values are processed to identify and assign a “dual tire” position indicating an inner position or an outer position for each tire sensor device.

  • Publication number: 20240190187
    Abstract: Aspects of tire sensor auto-location are described. Timestamped tire acceleration values are received for a set of tire sensor devices. Each tire sensor device provides a tire-specific subset of the timestamped tire acceleration values. Vehicle configuration parameters are identified to define a number of rear axles and a number of tires or wheels on each side of each axle. The vehicle configuration parameters and the timestamped tire acceleration values are processed to identify and assign an axle position and a vehicle side position for each tire sensor device of the set of tire sensor devices.

  • Publication number: 20240194006
    Abstract: Information from sensors on first and second tires positioned adjacent to each other on a dual wheel hub is obtained and stored in a memory. Also, information about the operation of a vehicle is stored in the memory, where the first and second tires are located on the vehicle. A determination is made as to whether a tire radius difference exists between a first radius of the first tire and a second radius of the second tire based on the temperature values and other parameters. An indication is encoded for display that shows that a tire radius mismatch exists between the first and second tires.

  • Publication number: 20240157736
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of permanent active sensors in a tire achieved by partially embedding a sensor component in a green tire and adding a removable power source after the tire is cured. The printed circuit board can be encapsulated in the rubber of the tire with a power source housing connected to the electronics through the rubber. In another aspect, the printed circuit board can be directly connected to the power source housing. The sensor interlocks with the rubber of the tire. Various structural features of the sensor, such as a flange or channels for the rubber, can be used to secure the sensor in the rubber of the tire.

  • Publication number: 20240109378
    Abstract: A modular tire pressure leak detection system includes a tire that supports a vehicle and a sensor unit mounted on the tire. The sensor unit detects real-time tire parameters inside the tire and transmits the parameters to a processor. A plurality of modules are in electronic communication with the processor. The plurality of modules include a pre-processing module that receives the parameters and applies a set of operations to generate pressure time series data, a leak detection module that receives the pressure time series data and determines a leak rate of the tire, and a post-processing module that receives the leak rate of the tire and analyzes the leak rate of the tire with determinations from a plurality of conditions. A leak alert is issued by the post-processing module based upon the analysis of the leak rate of the tire and the determinations from the plurality of conditions.

  • Patent number: 11632776
    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to receiving a timing adjustment (TA) command indicating to adjust timing for an uplink transmission in a time division, adjusting, by the UE and based on the TA command, the timing for the uplink transmission in the time division, and where the uplink transmission includes an overlapping portion that at least partially overlaps in time with a previous uplink transmission scheduled for transmission in a previous time division, due to the TA command, and a non-overlapping portion that does not at least partially overlap in time with the previous uplink transmission, refraining from transmitting the non-overlapping portion of the uplink transmission that is scheduled in the time division. Other aspects relate to transmitting the TA command and not receiving an overlapping uplink transmission.
