  • Publication number: 20250142293
    Abstract: A method in a first wireless communication device for displaying current location information representing a current location of a second wireless communication device. The method entails, from within a communication application executing on a processor of the first wireless communication device, receiving the current location information representing the current location of the second wireless communication device, performing a reverse look-up of the received current location of the second wireless communication device to determine address information, displaying a map from within the communication application, and identifying the received current location information on the displayed map with a name associated with the determined address information.

  • Publication number: 20250108118
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides delivery constructs comprising a carrier coupled to a heterologous payload, wherein coupling of the carrier to the payload can result in transportation of the payload (e.g., a therapeutic payload) into and/or across intact polarized epithelial cells (e.g., epithelial cells of the gut of a mammal). The delivery construct can be part of a pharmaceutical composition that can be orally administered to a subject to provide for improved, effective therapies for treatment of, e.g., inflammatory diseases or autoimmune diseases.

  • Publication number: 20250099599
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides furin-cleavable delivery constructs that include a transcytosing element that is derived from a mono-ADP-ribosyl transferase and a heterologous cargo that is coupled to the carrier. The carrier is capable of facilitating transport of the heterologous cargo across an epithelial cell via transcytosis. The heterologous cargo may be released from a remaining portion of the delivery construct upon cleavage by a furin protease. The constructs may be used to facilitate delivery of a cargo to a basolateral side of an epithelial membrane.

  • Patent number: 11960292
    Abstract: Method and systems for generating vehicle motion planning model simulation scenarios are disclosed. The system receives a base simulation scenario with features of a scene through which a vehicle may travel. The system then generates an augmentation element with a simulated behavior for an object in the scene by: (i) accessing a data store in which behavior probabilities are mapped to object types to retrieve a set of behavior probabilities for the object; and (ii) applying a randomization function to the behavior probabilities to select the simulated behavior for the object. The system will add the augmentation element to the base simulation scenario at the interaction zone to yield an augmented simulation scenario. The system will then apply the augmented simulation scenario to an autonomous vehicle motion planning model to train the motion planning model.

  • Patent number: 11897505
    Abstract: This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for operating an autonomous vehicle (AV). For example, the method includes performing the following operations by a muxing tool when AV is deployed within a particular geographic area in a real-world environment: receiving perception data that is representative of at least one actual object which is perceived while AV is deployed within the particular geographic area in a real-world environment; receiving simulation data that represents a simulated object that could be perceived by AV in the real-world environment and that was generated using a simulation scenario which is selected from a plurality of simulation scenarios based on at least one of the particular geographic area in which AV is currently located and a current operational state of AV; and generating augmented perception data by combining the simulation data with the perception data.

  • Patent number: 11835408
    Abstract: A pressure gauge includes a housing, a helical tube, and a compensation member. The housing has an inlet. The helical tube is arranged within the housing and has a closed end and an open end, the open end of the helical tube in fluid communication with the inlet. The compensation member is arranged between the between the open end and the closed end of the helical tube, the compensation member fixed to the helical tube. The compensation member and the helical tube are formed from materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion to limit movement of the closed end of the helical tube due to temperature change of a compressed fluid in fluid communication with the helical tube. Pressure vessel assemblies and methods of displaying pressure in pressure vessels are also described.
