Patent number: 11953905Abstract: This disclosure describes a distributed automated mobile vehicle (“automated mobile vehicle”) system for autonomously delivering orders of items to various delivery locations and/or autonomously returning items to a return location. In some implementations, each user may own or be assigned their own automated mobile vehicle that is associated with the user and an automated mobile vehicle control system maintained by the user. When the user orders an item, the user owned or controlled automated mobile vehicle navigates to a materials handling facility, retrieves the ordered item and delivers it to the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Bhavnish H. Lathia, Varadarajan Gopalakrishnan, Jesper Mikael Johansson, James Domit Mackraz, Brandon William Porter, Andrew Jay Roths

Patent number: 11679030Abstract: A surgical system for performing a capsulotomy of a lens capsule of an eye includes an elastic ring, a suction cup, an interface, a converter, and a control console. The elastic ring includes a conductive surface. The interface may be coupled to an air port and/or a fluid line of a phacomachine. The converter detects a pulse of air from the phacomachine via the interface, and produce an electrical signal in response. Fluid received from the phacomachine is delivered into the suction cup. The system is configured to remove the fluid from the suction cup and between the suction cup and a surface of the eye to form a suction seal. The control console is configured to, in response to receiving the electrical signal, drive a series of electrical pulses through the conductive surface of the elastic ring, causing the elastic ring to perform a tissue cutting operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: CENTRICITY VISION, INC.Inventors: Brandon Jay Lum, Mark Evan Steen, Leonard Richard Borrmann

Patent number: 11597391Abstract: A vehicle includes an accelerator pedal, an electric machine, and a controller. The electric machine is configured to propel and brake the vehicle according to a one-pedal driving operation. The controller is programmed to, in response to depressing the accelerator pedal, command a desired torque to the electric machine. The controller is further programmed to, adjust the desired torque based on a gradient of a road surface that the vehicle is positioned on. The controller is further programmed to, in response to movement of the electric machine in a direction that is opposite to a desired direction while the adjusted desired torque is being applied, increase the adjusted desired torque by a compensation torque such that movement of the electric machine transitions to the desired direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Sergey Gennadievich Semenov, Jonathan Andrew Butcher, Bryan Michael Bolger, Brandon Jay Woodland
