  • Patent number: 11951350
    Abstract: An upper limb rehabilitation training system in two-person standing type and an application method thereof are provided. The upper limb rehabilitation training system includes an upper limb rehabilitation training platform, two weight-reducing suspending support structures arranged oppositely, and two standing frames arranged oppositely; the upper limb rehabilitation training platform includes an all-in-one computer which includes a computer and a touch display screen, and a periphery of the touch display screen is provided with a grating structure; the upper limb rehabilitation training platform is provided with a two-person interactive upper limb training module including two control handles, a virtual training prop and a virtual training scene. The two control handles are suspended from the two weight-reducing suspending support structures, respectively; the grating structure is configured to identify the control handles and positions thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230266440
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a sensor unit with rotating housing and spoiler for enhanced airflow. An example device includes one or more sensors configured to sense one or more aspects of an environment surrounding the device. The device also includes a housing that at least partially surrounds the one or more sensors. The housing and the one or more sensors are configured to rotate about a shared axis. The housing includes an inlet configured to act as an air intake for an airflow through the housing. The airflow is configured to cool the one or more sensors while the one or more sensors are operating. Further, the device includes a spoiler positioned on or near the inlet. The spoiler is configured to increase an air pressure near the inlet or promote laminar flow near the inlet in order to promote the airflow through the housing.

  • Patent number: 11731546
    Abstract: The technology provides a seat release blocker that covers a seat release latching mechanism, where the latching mechanism would enable a passenger to fold down one or more seats of a vehicle. This can be particularly beneficial when the vehicle is operating in an autonomous driving mode, because certain areas within the vehicle may be restricted from passenger access. For instance, access to the trunk or cargo area may be limited to authorized service personnel. The seat release blocker includes a cover member that is fixedly secured to a seat such as a middle seat, using one or more fastener members such as a screw. Once the cover is releasably secured to the seat, the side of the cover with the fasteners may be completely or substantially covered by the side of an adjacent seat.

  • Publication number: 20230244014
    Abstract: An optical element (100) and an optical module (200), relating to the technical field of optics. The optical element comprises a diffractive optical element (110), and a Fresnel lens (120) connected to the diffractive optical element (110), such that a light beam that passes through the Fresnel lens (120) and is then transmitted through the diffractive optical element (110) forms a preset pattern. The assembly cost and the assembly difficulty can be reduced, and miniaturization of the optical module (200) can be facilitated.

  • Patent number: 11262562
    Abstract: The technology provides a camera module cover that prevents infrared light from leaking into the lens of an adjacent camera. The camera module cover can be used with in-vehicle environments, such as the passenger area and truck, as well as other indoor locations and places where infrared illumination is co-located with an optical camera system. An infrared illuminator unit is positioned adjacent to the camera, for instance in such a way that infrared light is evenly distributed or diffused around the camera lens. The camera module cover has a surface that includes an infrared-transparent material to promote even distribution of the infrared light. To avoid leakage into the camera lens, an infrared-opaque or otherwise blocking material is disposed within the cover so as to be between the infrared illuminator unit and the camera lens. The infrared-transparent and infrared-blocking materials may be formed as a single part via double injection molding.
