Patent number: 11932282Abstract: Trajectory generation for controlling motion or other behavior of an autonomous vehicle may include alternately determining a candidate action and predicting a future state based on that candidate action. The technique may include determining a cost associated with the candidate action that may include an estimation of a transition cost from a current or former state to a next state of the vehicle. This cost estimate may be a lower bound cost or an upper bound cost and the tree search may alternately apply the lower bound cost or upper bound cost exclusively or according to a ratio or changing ratio. The prediction of the future state may be based at least in part on a machine-learned model's classification of a dynamic object as being a reactive object or a passive object, which may change how the dynamic object is modeled for the prediction.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: ZOOX, INC.Inventors: Timothy Caldwell, Rasmus Fonseca, Arian Houshmand, Xianan Huang, Marin Kobilarov, Lichao Ma, Chonhyon Park, Cheng Peng, Matthew Van Heukelom

Patent number: 7674568Abstract: The present invention relates to a new solvent composition useful in the process of manufacturing an optical recording medium. The invention provides a new liquid composition comprising from 0.1 to 20% by weight of a dye having a solid state absorption band maximum in the spectral region from 300 to 800 nm, from 0.5 to 99.9% by weight of a compound of formula (I), wherein R1 to R8 are H, CH3 or C2H5, with the proviso that the total number of carbon atoms in R1 to R8 is 0, 1 or 2, and optionally from 0 to 99.4% by weight of one or more further components, all based on the weight of the solution. The instant solvent composition enables to manufacture an optical recording medium of a single recording layer type capable of recording and playing a large volume of information using commercially available compact disc recorders and players and of superior performance in an amazing wide range of drive speeds.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2003Date of Patent: March 9, 2010Assignee: Ciba Specialty Chemicals CorporationInventors: Bruce Milner, Jitka Brynjolffssen, Timothy Parks, Wolfgang Freitag

Publication number: 20080173071Abstract: A method for detecting defects in a honeycomb filter body. In operation, a gas flow stream containing particulates emerges at an outlet end face of the honeycomb body through defects, if any, in the honeycomb walls and/or plugs where they are illuminated. The gas flow stream containing the particles are provided at varying flow rates, pressures and particle densities during the course of the test cycle, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio, and reducing turbulence within the gas flow stream such that any defects within the filter body may be more readily detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2007Publication date: July 24, 2008Inventors: Timothy A.

Publication number: 20050240982Abstract: An interactive television system displays a television program having an associated channel. The system also displays an interactive television mode indicator if the displayed television program supports an interactive television mode. The interactive television mode is activated in response to a request from a viewer of the television program to activate the interactive television mode. The system updates a channel status list to indicate that the television program is being viewed in the interactive television mode. The system is also able to handle requests for activating an online television mode. When changing channels, the channel status list is used to restore a previously activated interactive television mode or online television mode for a particular television channel. Two different indicators may be displayed to indicate whether the television program supports an interactive television mode and/or an online television mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2005Publication date: October 27, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dean Blackketter, Timothy Park, Christopher White, Jeff Yaksick
