Patent number: 11776400Abstract: Junction queueing for vehicles is described, in which vehicles may be queued based on arrival time at a junction, position relative to a stopping location at the junction, and/or an amount of time waiting for other vehicles to proceed through the junction (timeout). In some examples, the queue may be first generated based on the arrival times of any other vehicle relative to a particular vehicle generating the queue. The queue may be updated based on arrival times of other vehicles (e.g., after the particular vehicle), whether another vehicle has proceeded out-of-turn (e.g., based on a position at the junction), and/or a timeout for vehicles that wait for others to yield at the junction. In some examples, hysteresis and alterations of the score for safety reasons may alter queue order. The queue may be used to control the particular vehicle to traverse the junction.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Moritz Harmel, William Anthony Silva

Patent number: 11768945Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may retrieve, from an industry standard setting scoring system and for a vulnerability, a temporal score based on a pre-revision version of a scoring system, and predict, based on a machine learning model and based on the temporal score for the vulnerability, an updated temporal score based on a post-revision version of the scoring system. A mitigating factor score, indicative of a mitigation applied to the vulnerability by an enterprise organization, may be determined. A risk score may be generated for each vulnerability, as a composite of the updated temporal score and the mitigating factor score. The risk scores for vulnerabilities in a collection of vulnerabilities may be aggregated to determine an enterprise risk score for the enterprise organization. In some instances, the enterprise risk score may be displayed via a graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: John Matthew Chiarelli, William Anthony McCormick, Nathan Edward Shock, Elizabeth Ann Kovick, Keling Chen, Hee Yeun Kim, Ryan Kresse, Edward Jay Sabijon

Publication number: 20230295031Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass ribbon can comprise flowing a glass-forming ribbon along a travel path. The glass-forming ribbon can comprise a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. A thickness can be defined between the first major surface and the second major surface. The method can comprise heating the first major surface of the glass-forming ribbon at a target location of the travel path while the glass-forming ribbon is travelling along the travel path. The heating can increase a temperature of the glass-forming ribbon at the target location to a heating depth of about 250 micrometers or less from the first major surface. The method can comprise cooling the glass-forming ribbon into the glass ribbon. Prior to the heating, the glass-forming ribbon at the target location can comprise an average viscosity in a range from about 1,000 Pascal-seconds to about 1011 Pascal-seconds.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2021Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Jeffrey Robert Amadon, Jean-Marc Martin Gerard Jouanno, Xinghua Li, Bruce Warren Reding, William Anthony Whedon, Rui Zhang, Peng Zhao

Patent number: 11740633Abstract: Techniques are discussed for controlling a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, based on occluded areas in an environment. An occluded area can represent areas where sensors of the vehicle are unable to sense portions of the environment due to obstruction by another object or sensor limitation. An occluded region for an object is determined, along with one or more visible regions proximate the occluded region. Entry and/or exit regions may be determined based on known directions of traffic and/or drivable surface boundaries. Based on a threshold speed, the vehicle can designate portions of the occluded region as pseudo-visible. Additionally, if a dynamic object traverses through the occluded region from the entry region, a portion of the occluded region may be considered pseudo-visible. Pseudo-visibility may also be determined based on movement of an occluded area. The vehicle can be controlled to traverse the environment based on the pseudo-visibility.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Max Gier, William Anthony Silva
