Methods and systems for detecting and tracking objects
Patent No. 12611055

Inventor(s): Chithrai Selvakumar Mani (Richardson, TX), Venkat Shiva Pandiri (Irving, TX)
Assignee(s): DIGIT7 INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED (Richardson, TX)
Law Firm: No Counsel
Application No., Date, Speed: 18649762 on 04/29/2024 (729 days app to issue)

Abstract: The improved systems and methods utilize a detection and tracking device in communication with a plurality of media acquisition devices strategically placed within a defined space, which is divided in a grid fashion such that each media acquisition device senses at least three points within the space, with adjacent media acquisition devices overlap, such that the plurality covers the entire space. Objects in the space are sensed by respective media acquisition devices, annotated with a tracking identifier, and tracked while moving therein by either the media acquisition devices or the detection and tracking device. The detection and tracking device derives input data points from each media acquisition device for projection onto a groundplot of the space, clusters the input data points from corresponding media acquisition devices into a single cluster, assigns the tracking identifier to a centroid of the cluster, and tracks the object as it moves.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for a vehicle monitoring and driver support system. The vehicle monitoring and driver support system includes one or more sensors configured to capture vehicle sensor data of a vehicle and an electronic control unit in electronic communication with the sensors. When a driver is operating the vehicle, the system receives the vehicle sensor data. The system can also receive survey data indicative of a personality and/or an attitude of the driver. Based on the vehicle sensor data and/or the survey data, the system uses a first predictive model to predict a general risky driving behavior. In response to predicting the general risky driving behavior, the system uses a second predictive model to predict a specific risky driving behavior. The system can activate countermeasures to encourage the driver to respond and mitigate the risky driving behavior.

Assignee(s): Textron Innovations, Inc. (Providence, RI)
Law Firm: No Counsel
Application No., Date, Speed: 19333040 on 09/18/2025 (222 days app to issue)

Abstract: A multi-planar rotor assembly for offset flapping hinges. In embodiments, the multi-planar rotor assembly includes an upper rotor disposed within a first vertical plane, and a lower rotor disposed within a second vertical plane vertically offset from the first vertical plane. A plurality of blade assemblies is coupled to the upper and lower rotors, with each blade assembly attached to a respective rotor via an offset flapping hinge positioned radially outward from a central rotational axis of the multi-planar rotor assembly. The upper and lower rotors are angularly offset relative to each other by a defined angular offset configured to establish a predetermined angular spacing between adjacent blade assemblies disposed across the first and second vertical planes. The multi-planar rotor assembly facilitates reduced flapping hinge offset distances, smaller rotor hub diameter, lower aerodynamic drag, reduced structural loads, improved maintenance access, and optimized control component clearances.

Assignee(s): ContiTech Deutschland GmbH (Hannover, , DE)
Law Firm: No Counsel
Application No., Date, Speed: 18586151 on 02/23/2024 (795 days app to issue)

Abstract: An article such as a conveyor belt includes an elastomeric composition containing high-aspect ratio nanofibers having a diameter in a range from 10 nm to 1,000 nm, and an aspect ratio in a range from 500 to 15,000.

Application No., Date, Speed: 19094770 on 03/28/2025 (396 days app to issue)

Abstract: A process for separating solids and oil from water without requiring waste haul-off comprising six phases. In the first phase, a stream of raw saltwater is treated with desired chemistry and a beneficial reuse chemical effluent. In the second phase and third phase, the water undergoes oil separation, and the water is stored to facilitate phase changes. In the fourth phase, the saltwater is treated with desired chemistries and a beneficial reuse chemical effluent. In the fifth phase, the water is stored and agitated. In the sixth phase, the water passes through a mechanical filteror similar unitthe stream then directed to a chemical reactor. Desired chemistries and solids removed from the filter are added to the reactor. The reactor outputs a beneficial reuse chemical effluent which can be recycled to Phase 1 and Phase 4and prefilter Phase 6of the system.

An energy absorbing member is attached to the test fixture first portion and extends around a portion of the fulcrum. The energy absorbing member is formed so as to have a first shape when the test fixture first portion and second portion are spaced apart less than a predetermined distance. The test fixture is structured so that movement of the second portion in a direction away from the first portion causes the fulcrum to slide along the energy absorbing member. Sliding of the fulcrum along the energy absorbing member plastically deforms the energy absorbing member into a second shape different from the first shape.

The first signaling is used to determine K time windows; the first time window and the second time window are respectively two time windows that are adjacent among the K time windows, the first time window and the second time window being respectively associated with a first reference signal and a second reference signal; whether a first condition set is satisfied is used to determine whether the first time pool comprises all multicarrier symbols in the first time window and/or whether the second time pool comprises all multicarrier symbols in the second time window. The above method satisfies the request for processing time of beam handover and improves the resource utilization ratio.
