  • Patent number: 11970287
    Abstract: An introduced autonomous aerial vehicle can include multiple cameras for capturing images of a surrounding physical environment that are utilized for motion planning by an autonomous navigation system. In some embodiments, the cameras can be integrated into one or more rotor assemblies that house powered rotors to free up space within the body of the aerial vehicle. In an example embodiment, an aerial vehicle includes multiple upward-facing cameras and multiple downward-facing cameras with overlapping fields of view to enable stereoscopic computer vision in a plurality of directions around the aerial vehicle. Similar camera arrangements can also be implemented in fixed-wing aerial vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20230410800
    Abstract: A user provides an audible command and an audible description of an element on a computer graphical user interface (GUI) into a natural language processor (NLP). The NLP extracts from the audible description features of the element on the computer GUI. A screenshot of the computer GUI is transmitted to a computer vision platform, and the computer vision platform provides a map of features of the GUI elements that are displayed on the computer GUI. The features of the element on the computer GUI are compared with the features of the plurality of GUI elements on the map. A match between the features of the element on the computer GUI and the features of the GUI elements on the map is identified, and the audible command is executed in connection with the matched GUI element.

  • Patent number: 11796803
    Abstract: In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to receive input from one or more sensors and, based on the input from the one or more sensors, determine that a trigger related to a user moving between viewing a first display location and a second display location is satisfied. Responsive to the determination, the instructions may be executable to move at least one graphical object presented on at least one display from the first display location to a third display location different from the first and second display locations.

  • Publication number: 20230305948
    Abstract: A software process is tested using an instance of a computer system. A first set of data and a second set of data are collected. The first set relates to resources used by the software process during the testing and the second set relates to conditions of the instance during the testing. A machine learning algorithm is trained with the first set of data and the second set of data, thereby generating a model relating to the resources used by the software process under the conditions of the instance. User input is received, the user input relates to expectations of a test plan for the software test. The test plan is created as a function of the model and the user input.

  • Publication number: 20230153222
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and program products that can generate scaled-down load test models for testing real-world loads are disclosed herein. One method includes providing a test environment of a system including multiple nodes. The test environment includes virtual nodes corresponding to the system nodes and each virtual node functions under a virtual load similar to each corresponding node functioning under a real-world load. The method further includes utilizing a machine learning algorithm to repeatedly apply at least one virtual load to the virtual node(s) in the test environment until a scaled-down load test model mimicking the system under a pre-defined real-world load is generated. Here, the virtual load(s) applied to the virtual node(s) is/are comparatively smaller relative to each of corresponding real-world loads for the node(s) defining the pre-defined real-world load. Systems, apparatus, and program products that include and/or perform the methods are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 7541475
    Abstract: This invention is directed to processes for making substituted thiazoles. The substituted thiazole, ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate, also known as TEI-6720, is useful for treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. This compound belongs to a class of substituted thiazoles that inhibit xanthine oxidase and thus block uric acid production.

  • Patent number: 6698110
    Abstract: A spike shoe has a cushion mounted on the outer sole thereof. The cushion has spike-accommodating bores defined therein and each spike is accommodated in a bore. The cushion compresses as the wearer of the shoe places his or her weight on the sole of the shoe. The spike-accommodating bores are sized and shaped so the cushion adjacent to each bore contacts the spike accommodated in the bore during the compression of the cushion and prior to the cushion being fully compressed whereby each spike is wiped by the cushion every time the wearer places his or her weight on the shoe during a walking or running movement.
