Patent №: 12099953 (September 24, 2024) – Support device deployment. The data is compared to historical values from a knowledge corpus to identify the task. If the data exceeds a predetermined threshold, it determines if assistance is needed.

Patent №: 12097868 (September 24, 2024) – Air measurement for ground vehicle navigation. The vehicle is in an environment and connected to multiple sensors capturing environmental data. An anomalous status of the first sensor is determined. An air measurement from a second sensor, near the vehicle, is identified in the response. The vehicle’s autonomous movement is then directed based on the navigation instructions and air measurement.

Patent №: 12097670 (September 24, 2024) – Method and system for three-dimensional printing-based correction of defects in objects. The apparatus for correcting defects in an object using 3D printing includes a flexible wrapper-shaped printing module. This module has an array of port openings that allow 3D printable material to pass through. It wraps around the object, and material is injected through selected openings into the defect to correct it.

Patent №: 12097374 (September 24, 2024) – Audio-visual interaction with implanted devices. It involves processors determining a health issue related to the voice command and identifying the relevant implanted device.
