  • Publication number: 20250214616
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable mediums are provided for projecting one or more content items onto a surface outside of an AV. For example, a system may receive routing data including routing information and road agent information of each of one or more road agents within a predetermined distance threshold of an autonomous vehicle (AV). Additionally, the system may generate projection data including a content item associated with the routing information and the road agent information. Moreover, the system may provide projection data to a projection controller device communicating with one or more projection devices. The projection controller device may cause at least one of the one or more projection devices to project the content item onto a surface outside of the AV.

  • Publication number: 20250089932
    Abstract: A heating control system for a coffee maker consists of a water tank, a water pump, a heating element, a temperature detecting member, and a control module. The water pump is connected to the water tank and the heating element and is configured to pump water from the water tank to the heating element for heating. The heating element is configured to heat the water to output at least one of hot water or steam. The temperature detecting member is configured to detect an output temperature of the heating element. The control module is configured to control the water pump and the heating element based on the temperature detecting member.

  • Publication number: 20250072656
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an empty pumping prevention apparatus. A bottom of a water tank is provided with a water outlet, and a temperature sensor is provided proximate the water outlet. After a heater stops heating, a water pumping action is performed; during operation of a water pump, temperature data collected by the temperature sensor is continuously read, and a current slope of temperature drop is calculated; then it is determined whether there is water based on a value of the current slope of temperature drop; and the water pump stops operating when it is determined that there is no water in the water tank.

  • Patent number: 12135591
    Abstract: The subject technology is related to autonomous vehicles (AV) and, in particular, to an environmental and electromagnetic seal for autonomous vehicle control systems. The AV includes an autonomous driver system computer (ADSC) fixed to an interior surface of the AV and configured to control the electronic drivetrain, the ADSC including at least one port for connecting with an AV and an elastic conductive cover for selectively sealing the at least port one. The elastic conductive cover comprises a hooking member with an opening that is rotatably connected to the ADSC, cannot be independently removed from the ADSC, and includes an inner surface having at least one extended member with a sealing member that is configured to seal a port of the at least one port.

  • Publication number: 20160282920
    Abstract: A storage device is provided to store operation data of an electronic device when the electronic device experiences interruption of electric power. The storage device includes a processing module for storing the operation data, a switch module for outputting a charging voltage signal associated with a DC voltage signal, and an energy storage module charged by the charging voltage signal. The energy storage module outputs a determination voltage signal to the processing module in absence of the charging voltage signal. Further, the processing module converts the determination voltage signal into a digital value, and determines whether to read the operation data according to the digital value upon recovery of the electric power from the interruption.

  • Publication number: 20160183719
    Abstract: The bread maker includes a housing for mounting of a container, an infrared transceiving device and a determining device. The container stores bread ingredients therein and has an outer surface provided with a color symbol. The infrared transceiving device includes an infrared emitting unit and a processing unit. The infrared emitting unit is operable to emit infrared ray toward the color symbol when the container is mounted to the housing. The processing unit is configured for receiving a reflection ray reflected from the color symbol and is operable to output an identification signal according to intensity of the reflection ray. The determining device is communicatively connected to the processing unit for receiving the identification signal and is operable to determine, with reference to the identification signal, a bread-making indicator that is associated with a bread making program, which the bread maker executes automatically to make bread using the bread ingredients stored in the container.
