  • Patent number: 12342173
    Abstract: In an example, a provider system receives from a user device a request for user access through a checkpoint. The provider system sends to the user device a request for identification information of the user. The provider system receives user information associated with a mobile identification credential (MIC) which the user device received from an authorizing party system (APS), the user having consented to release the user information to the provider system, and the user information having been verified by the APS. The provider system uses the verified user information associated with the MIC to verify or not verify the identity of the user. The provider system verifies the identity of the user before granting the user the request for user access through the checkpoint.

  • Patent number: 12336675
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a method for obstacle avoidance in a mobile robot. Images of objects are captured with mobile robot image sensors with a floor level perspective. Data corresponding to the images is used to train a neural network. The identified objects are classified by indicating whether the objects are a potential hazard. In one embodiment, an image sensor on a robot provides intensity and depth data for each of a plurality of pixels of the images. The intensity and depth data are fused to produce fused data. The fused data is then used to train the neural network.

  • Patent number: 12340967
    Abstract: Techniques for adjusting the shape of an ion beam are described. Characteristics of a desired beam shape may be defined. The ion beam generator may include beam shaping elements associated with tunable parameters that can be set in combination with each other. A search space for the possible combinations is defined. A set of exploratory points in the search space are measured and used to interpolate a large number of interpolated points based on a regression model. Interpolated points that are associated with low confidence values may be measured. Based on the measured and interpolated points, clusters of tunable parameter combinations may be identified for evaluation. The clusters are evaluated for stability and sensitivity, and one of the clusters is selected based on the evaluation. The ion beam generator may be configured based on the selected cluster.

  • Patent number: 12341566
    Abstract: A system and method for modifying symbology displayed on a head worn display (HWD) based on a quality-of-service value is disclosed. The system includes a head worn display configured to display symbology, a tracking camera, a controller, and a tracking processing unit configured to receive inputs form the tracking camera and transmit a signal quality value to the controller. The controller includes processors and memory with instructions that when executed by the processors, cause the processors to display the symbology on the display, determine a quality-of-service value based on at least the signal quality value, and modify at least one symbol of the symbology based on the quality-of-service value from a default symbol to a degraded symbol if the quality-of-service value changes from a high-quality value to a low-quality value. The system may also receive sensor signals from other sensors, and use the sensor signal to determine the quality-of-service value.
