  • Patent number: 12298642
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for mitigating pinhole defects in optical devices such as electrochromic windows. One method mitigates a pinhole defect in an electrochromic device by identifying the site of the pinhole defect and obscuring the pinhole to make it less visually discernible. In some cases, the pinhole defect may be the result of mitigating a short-related defect.

  • Patent number: 12277154
    Abstract: In some embodiments a processor can receive inputs associated with a user and classify, based on a first machine learning model using at least one input rubric, each input from the inputs into an input type. The processor can define, based on the input type of each input, a first set of inputs associated with a first evaluation type and a second set of inputs associated with a second evaluation type. The processor can select a second machine learning model based on the first evaluation type and can extract, using the second machine learning model, from the first set of inputs a pattern associated with the user, evaluate a first state of the user based on the pattern and a second state of the user based on the second set of inputs, and generate an assessment of the user based on the first state and the second state.

  • Publication number: 20240404709
    Abstract: An apparatus detects and measures vital signs of each human target by a continuous, non-intrusive method. In an example, the vital signs of interest include a heart rate and a respiratory rate, which can provide valuable information about the human's wellness. Additionally, the heart rate and respiratory rate can also be used to identify a particular person, if more than two target humans are living in a home. The apparatus has a natural convection spatial flow path that draws heat from at least one processor, one fan-less radar and a heat sink.

  • Publication number: 20240388873
    Abstract: In an example, the present technique includes a method for capturing information from a spatial region to monitor human activities and create a spatial map of the spatial region. In an example, the technique allows a user of a cell phone to move from one location to another location and be tracked using rf backscattering, and each location being identified by the user by communicating a label via a cell phone or other mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20240227887
    Abstract: In an example, the autonomous vehicle (“AV”) can be configured among the other vehicles and railway to communicate with a rider on a peer to peer basis to pick up the rider on demand from a location on a track, like a railway, tram or other track, rather than the rider being held hostage to a fixed railway schedule. The rider can have an application on his/her cell phone, which tracks each of the AVs, and contact them using the application on the cell phone. In an example, the AV is configured for both on-track and off track operation with different operating parameters for on-track and off track, including speed, degree of autonomy, sensors used etc.
