  • Publication number: 20220283055
    Abstract: Techniques for instantiating objects in a simulated environment based on log data are disclosed herein. Some of the techniques may include receiving log data representing an environment in which a real-world vehicle was operating. Using the log data, a simulated environment for testing a simulated vehicle may be generated. The simulated environment may represent the environment in which the real-world vehicle was operating. The techniques may further include determining a location of the simulated vehicle as it traverses the simulated environment. Based at least in part on the log data, a prior location of the real-world vehicle in the environment closest to the location of the simulated vehicle in the simulated environment may be determined. In this way, the simulated environment may be updated to include a simulated object representing an object in the environment that was perceived by the vehicle from the prior location.

  • Publication number: 20220136303
    Abstract: An exemplary closure assembly includes a rail assembly and a door assembly movably mounted to the rail assembly. The door assembly includes a rotary damper having a pinion, and the rail assembly includes a rack member operable to engage the pinion. As the door moves from first position to a second position, the rack member engages the pinion, thereby causing the pinion to rotate in a first rotational direction. The rotary damper resists rotation of the pinion in the first direction, thereby slowing movement of the door toward the second position. The rotary damper may be a one-way damper that does not resist rotation of the pinion in a second rotational direction such that the rotary damper does not resist movement of the door from the second position toward the first position.

  • Patent number: 11301601
    Abstract: A domain specific language, or Scenario Description Language (SDL), can be used for quickly enumerating scenarios in a simulation for testing and validating interaction of an object (e.g., an autonomous vehicle) within an environment. Scenarios in a simulation are defined using one or more primitives. Primitives are used to define objects to be instantiated (such as body size, position, orientation, velocities, etc.) and/or actions to be performed by the objects in the simulation (such as wait for a period of time, goal positions, follow a particular object, etc.). The SDL enables simple creation of multiple scenarios by combining primitives combinatorially and in some examples, limiting which scenarios are created to those that correspond to combinations that provide meaningful information. Additionally, the SDL allows for instantiation to be agnostic of map features so that a particular scenario can be instantiated automatically over all possible positions within a map.

  • Patent number: 11289063
    Abstract: A whistle is structured for promoting hygienic use of the whistle and for maximizing inlet air pressure to generate sound from the whistle. The whistle includes an air inlet having a channelizer for dividing and channeling air flow received from the air inlet through at least two different channels. A sound-generating chamber is in corresponding fluid communication with each of the channels, and an air exhaust is in fluid communication with the sound-generating chamber. The air exhaust is structured and located on the whistle body for generating a sound, and is positioned and structured at a location suitable for directing air flow away from the air exhaust in a generally downwardly and/or opposing direction with respect to a generally horizontal air flow direction at the air inlet.

  • Publication number: 20210132613
    Abstract: A domain specific language for use in constructing simulations within real environments is described. In an example, a computing device associated with a vehicle can receive, from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle, sensor data associated with an environment within which the vehicle is positioned. In an example, the vehicle can be an autonomous vehicle. The computing device associated with the vehicle can receive simulated data associated with one or more primitives that are to be instantiated as a scenario in the environment. The computing device can merge the sensor data and the simulated data to generate aggregated data and determine a trajectory along which the vehicle is to drive based at least in part on the aggregated data. The computing device can determine instructions for executing the trajectory and can assess the performance of the vehicle based on how the vehicle responds to the scenario.

  • Publication number: 20200159570
    Abstract: A controller may control input to, output from, and execution of a component of a data-processing pipeline via an interface. The interface facilitates replacing the component with a different and/or updated component and/or changing a type of controller that controls the component via the interface. For example, the different types of controllers may facilitate communication between components controlled by other controllers (and/or that aren't controlled by a controller), controllers that generate reproducibility data so that component behavior may be reproduced, controllers that reproduce component behavior, and/or controllers that tune performance of the data-processing pipeline, e.g., by varying input, output, and execution of respective component(s).
