  • Patent number: 11965480
    Abstract: An acoustic monitoring system and method for the health status of an offshore wind turbine and an ocean wave are provided. The acoustic monitoring system includes a first laser transmitter, a second laser transmitter, a telephoto camera provided at a hub, a vibration detection sensor provided on a tower of a wind turbine, and four acoustic detection sensors arranged at an interval of 90° along the circumference of the tower. The first and second laser transmitters are arranged at the bottom of a nacelle of the wind turbine and emit laser lights vertically downward. The first laser transmitter, the second laser transmitter, the telephoto camera, the vibration detection sensor, and the acoustic detection sensors are connected to a data acquisition and conversion module through a transmission module. The acoustic monitoring system combines laser light detection with acoustic signal feature detection to improve stability and safety of the offshore wind turbine.

  • Publication number: 20210402991
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for trajectory association and tracking are provided. A method can include method can include obtaining input data indicative of a respective trajectory for each of one or more first objects for a first time step and input data indicative of a respective trajectory for each of one or more second objects for a second time step subsequent to the first time step. The method can include generating, using a machine-learned model, a temporally-consistent trajectory for at least one of the one or more first objects or the one or more second objects based at least in part on the input data and determining a third predicted trajectory for the at least one of the one or more first objects or the one or more second objects for at least the second time step based at least in part on the temporally-consistent trajectory.

  • Patent number: 11157579
    Abstract: A delivery coordination system selects restaurant listings for presentation to a user by filtering out restaurants that are unlikely to be of interest to the user, while ensuring that restaurant listings are selected to encourage the success of all restaurants using the delivery coordination system. In response to receiving the listings request from a client device, the delivery coordination system selects a filtered set of restaurant listings from the plurality of restaurant listings stored by the delivery coordination system by applying filtering criteria to the plurality of stored restaurant listings. The delivery coordination system generates conversion scores for the restaurant in the filtered set of restaurant listings and selects restaurant listings to present to the user from the filtered set of restaurant listings based on selection factors, which can include the generated conversion scores. The delivery coordination system transmits the selected restaurant listings to the client device.
