International Classification:

H04N 714

US Classification:

348 1416, 348 1408, 348 1409

Abstract:

A system and method for producing and receiving electronically-mediated collaboration is presented. The electronically-mediated collaboration system and method include a high-fidelity audio system as well as application and cursor sharing, and a session manager module to synchronize among participants. In one embodiment, the system includes an eye contact collaboratory that manipulates video and eye position input to synthesize virtual camera images which simulate ordinary gaze behavior in a collaboratory system. An audio component optionally spatializes the voices of the participants to appear to coincide with their images.

US Classification:

706 45

Abstract:

An automatic approach is described for the semantic analysis and conversion of video annotation metadata (e. g. , Video Event Markup Language or “VEML” metadata) to propositional graphs suitable for analysis by an analogical reasoning system (ARS). Also as described herein, a system architecture implements this conversion while maintaining semantic consistency from annotation through results reporting. Further, the techniques herein leverage the same ontology to populate options for an annotation tool, provide the rules for the metadata-to-propositional graph mapping, and provide the basis for comparison in an analogical reasoning algorithm.

International Classification:

B60W 30/095
B60W 30/09
B60W 60/00
B60W 40/04

Abstract:

A method of using perception-inspired event generation for situation awareness for a vehicle, including receiving perception input data from a sensor of the vehicle and processing the perception input data to classify and generate parameters related to an external entity in a vicinity of the vehicle. The method includes generating a hierarchical event structure that classifies and prioritizes the perception input data by classifying the external entity into an attention zone and prioritizing the external entity within the attention zone according to a risk level value for the external entity. A higher risk level value indicates a higher priority within the attention zone. The method further includes developing a behavior plan for the vehicle based on the hierarchical event structure.

International Classification:

B60W 60/00
G05D 1/02

Abstract:

A method of path planning for a host vehicle includes: receiving host vehicle, environmental and obstacle information; calculating one or more projected host vehicle locations; computing a projected obstacle location for each obstacle; and determining a collision potential between each projected host vehicle location and each projected obstacle location. Until a maximum number of steps is reached, and while at least one projected host vehicle location has an associated collision potential below a collision threshold, the method further includes repeating the calculating, computing and determining steps.

G01S 17/89

Abstract:

A method for performing object detection during autonomous driving includes: performing 3D object detection in a 3D object detection segment; uploading an output of multiple sensors in communication with the 3D object detection segment to multiple point clouds; transferring point cloud data from the multiple point clouds to a Region Proposal Network (RPN); independently performing 2D object detection in a 2D object detector in parallel with the 3D object detection in the 3D object detection segment; and taking a given input image and simultaneously learning box coordinates and class label probabilities in a 2D object detection network operating to treat object detection as a regression problem.

International Classification:

A61H 1/02

Abstract:

The Thumb Saver is the only product of its kind that has the capability of reducing the cumulative effects of chronic typing, writing and texiing in a convenient means that can be easily employed while an individual is sitting at home or at work. The Thumb Saver is uniquely designed with a sticky, non-skid surface on the top and bottom sides to avoid the device from sliding from the hand during use and offers versatility as the product can be used for both the left and right thumb by simply flipping the product over.

International Classification:

B60W 60/00
B60W 50/00

Abstract:

A method using unsupervised velocity prediction and correction for urban driving from sequences of noisy position estimates includes: performing a vehicle velocity prediction for one or more other vehicles in a vicinity of a host automobile vehicle; calculating a first heuristic based on a uniformity test; calculating a second heuristic based on a vehicle speed of the one or more other vehicles; combining the first heuristic and the second heuristic using a weighted sum; determining an uncertainty mask applying the combined first heuristic and the second heuristic and a heuristic threshold; and applying the uncertainty mask to identify a velocity correction for use by the host automobile vehicle.

Abstract:

An autonomous vehicle, system and method of operating the autonomous vehicle. The system includes a performance evaluator, a decision module and a navigation system. The performance evaluator determines a performance grade for each of a plurality of decisions for operating the autonomous vehicle. The decision module selects a decision have a greatest performance grade. The navigation system operates the autonomous vehicle using the selected decision.
