  • Publication number: 20230192101
    Abstract: A vehicle assistive system includes a plurality of context information generating devices, each configured to output context information relating to a mobile vehicle, a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for performing acts. The acts include: generating one or more object representations based on corresponding context information; predicting one or more future states, each relating to a state of the object representation at a future time; eliminating the future states having a probability that does not meet a corresponding threshold; detecting a future event for one or more of the future states; providing one or more action items for each detected future event; performing one or more actions associated with the action items including an action selected from the group consisting of generating a notification using a notification device, and controlling the mobile vehicle using a control device.

  • Publication number: 20220365804
    Abstract: A vehicle computing architecture includes an application layer a software virtualization layer, a hardware virtualization layer, and a hardware component layer. The application layer includes a plurality of virtual functional components each representing a virtual function. The software virtualization layer includes a command registry having virtual commands. The hardware virtualization layer includes mapping logic. The hardware component layer includes a plurality of physical nodes each being a virtual representation of a corresponding hardware component. The virtual functional components call a virtual command from the command registry. The hardware virtualization layer selects one of the physical nodes corresponding to the received virtual command and translates the received virtual command to a hardware command using the mapping logic, and communicates the hardware command to the selected physical node.

  • Patent number: 10458654
    Abstract: The invention relates to an annular combustion chamber in a turbine engine, comprising two coaxial walls of revolution, one an internal wall (12) and the other an external wall (14), between which emerge fuel injectors (19) each engaged in centring means (36) which are moveable in the radial direction in support means (38), the chamber also comprising means (50, 68) of axial retention in the upstream direction of the centring means. According to the invention, the means of axial retention in the upstream direction are removably fixed to at least one of the internal (12) or external (14) walls of revolution.

  • Patent number: 10337740
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for supporting and centring a fuel injector in a turbine engine combustion chamber, which includes means for centring a fuel injector along an axis, which are movable in a plane that is radial to the centring axis (52) in supporting means intended for being attached to the bottom of an annular chamber (18). According to the invention, the centring means include at least two radially external tabs (54, 56) each inserted respectively in a circumferential recess (60, 64) of the supporting means, the device including circumferential abutment means (78, 80, 74, 76, 82, 86, 84, 88) of the radial tabs (54, 56) of the centring means in the circumferential recesses (60, 64), the circumferential abutment means being configured such as to enable a greater angular displacement of a first (54, 154) one of the radial tabs in a first circumferential recess (60) relative to a second (56, 156) one of the radial tabs in a second circumferential recess (64).
