In one embodiment, a system includes a circularly-packed network of structural elements that form multiple 3D structures. Diameters of the structural elements define a shape of the 3D structures. The circularly-packed network is adaptable to form 1) a first 3D structure and 2) a second 3D structure with a different shape than the first 3D structure. The system also includes a set of joints that connect adjacent structural elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2023Publication date: February 20, 2025Applicants: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., The Research Foundation for the State University of New YorkInventors: Yuqing Zhou, Masato Tanaka, Yuyang Song, Xianfeng David Gu, Shikui Chen, Zhou Zhao, Lingfeng Gao

Publication number: 20240184837Abstract: Examples of recommendation methods and apparatus are described. In one example method, a plurality of images are obtained, where each image includes one candidate interface and one type of candidate content presented by using the candidate interface. Image feature data of each image is obtained, and input for a prediction model is determined based on user feature data of a target user and the image feature data. Then, a degree of preference of the target user for each image is predicted by using the prediction model. At least one of a candidate interface or candidate content that are included in the plurality of images is selected based on the degree of preference. Recommendation is then performed to the user based on the selected candidate content or candidate interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Jieming ZHU, Zhou ZHAO, Shengyu ZHANG, Xiuqiang HE, Li QIAN
