Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for implementing a copilot as a network of microservices including specialized large language models (LLMs) or other trained machine learning (ML) tools. The microservice network architecture supports flexible, customizable, or dynamically determinable dataflow. Compared to much larger competing LLMs, comparable or superior performance is achieved for certain tasks, while significantly reducing hardware requirements and computation time. Disclosed examples incorporate microservices for expansion, retrieval, embedding, and evaluation, in addition to one or more core microservices. Optionally, intermodal I/O, multiple data repositories, competency qualification, or human feedback can be supported. Multiple core microservices can support varying client authorizations or cognitive functions. The disclosed architecture supports any major LLM use case and can be deployed on a single compute node with a single GPU.

Abstract: Some implementations are directed to a wireless receiver. In some implementations, the wireless receiver may include a receiver body encompassing one or more antenna elements, a cover removably coupled to the receiver body, and a mounting bracket removably coupled to the receiver body. In some implementations, at least one of the one or more antenna elements, the cover, or the mounting bracket is movable with respect to the receiver body in order to align the wireless receiver with a signal path.

Abstract: The present invention includes a novel sintered component (1) and a method of production thereof. The method including creating (100) a plurality of sub¬components (10) using binder jetting additive manufacturing; the sub-components (10) having an outer surface (20) including one or more protruding portions (22, 24) having one or more bonding faces (26) configured to interface with at least one of the one or more bonding faces (26) of a neighbouring sub-component (1) and a recessed portion (28) for defining a cavity (30), in the sintered component (1), between sub-components (10); heating the plurality of sub-components (10) in a first heating step (104); assembling (106) said sub-components (10); heating the assembly of sub-components in a second heating step (108).

Abstract: Systems and techniques for detecting feature(s) and object(s) partially or completely obscured by stray light effects in the visible light spectrum are discussed herein. Non-visible light can be emitted from emitters. Light from an environment including visible and non-visible light can be captured at a sensing system via a lens system. The sensing system can filter the captured light using a dual band-pass filter to direct certain non-visible and visible light spectra to a beam splitter that then directs the non-visible light to a non-visible light sensor and the visible light to a visible light sensor. The sensor data generated by the non-visible light sensor can then be used to identify and classify feature(s) and object(s) that may be obscured by stray light effects in the data generated by the visible light sensor.

Abstract: The importance of creating and maintaining flexibility is generally recognized in health, longevity, fitness, sports, ballet, and yoga. Stretching requires a sustained and prolonged effort in holding a particular joint in a stretched position for best results. Recent prior art has attempted to move toward hands free devices to address these requirements. This invention solves prior art problems by providing comfort with padding; simplifying and easing application on the user with a single strap clamp; easy fine and coarse adjustment of stretching tension by the user; floor, seated, and standing position methods of use: fixed (i.e., pull up bar) and dynamic device (i.e. weight machine) device attachment and position methods of use; and opportunities for stretching all areas of the body. Once positioned with this invention, the user can relax and allow the device to stretch with minimal effort on the user's part.

Abstract: A heater coupon is disclosed having a ceramic block with a first surface and a second surface, at least one heater trace formed within the ceramic block and a connector for electrically connecting the at least one heater trace to a PCB (printed circuit board). The connector may connect at one end to the heater coupon and at the other end to the PCB. The connector may provide a direct connection between the heater coupon and the PCB. The connector may include a first connecting arm for connecting with respect to the first surface of the ceramic block and a second connecting arm for connecting with respect to the second surface of the ceramic block.

Abstract: Sensors, including time-of-flight sensors, may be used to detect objects in an environment. In an example, a vehicle may include a time-of-flight sensor that images objects around the vehicle, e.g., so the vehicle can navigate relative to the objects. The sensor may generate first image data at a first configuration and second image data at a second configuration. An estimated depth of an object may be determined from the first image data, and an actual depth of the object may be determined from the second image data, based on the estimated depth. In examples, the first and second configurations have different modulation frequencies such that a nominal maximum depth in the first configuration is greater than the nominal maximum depth in the second configuration.
