Publication number: 20220345478Abstract: A method for minimizing scan disruptions includes receiving a scan request requesting to scan a set of network-connected assets. Each network-connected asset is associated with corresponding network characteristics. The method includes partitioning the set of network-connected assets into a plurality of groups based on the corresponding network characteristics. For each respective group, simultaneously, the method includes determining an ordered list for scanning each network-connected asset in the respective group, scanning a first network-connected asset of the respective group based on the ordered list, and, after scanning the first network-connected asset, determining a post-scan health status of the first network-connected asset. The method includes determining, using the post-scan health status, that a health of the first network-connected asset is degraded.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2021Publication date: October 27, 2022Applicant: Google LLCInventors: Joseph Nelson, David Aslanian, Claudio Criscione, Sebastian Lekies

Publication number: 20220326683Abstract: The exemplified methods and systems facilitate manufacturing of a new class of mechanical, loading-bearing components having optimized stress/strain three-dimensional meta-structure structures (also referred to herein as “Meshagons”) as finite-element-based 3D volumetric mesh structures. The resulting three-dimensional meta-structure structures provide high strength, ultra-light connectivity, with programmable interlinkage properties (e.g., density/porosity of linkages).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Todd Curtis Doehring, William Joseph Nelson, II

Publication number: 20220161998Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a body defining a storage compartment, a packer, a hydraulic system, a pressure sensor, and a controller. The hydraulic system includes a first pump and a second pump are configured to supply fluid power to a packer actuator. The packer actuator is coupled to the packer and the body and is positioned to move the packer to compact refuse within the storage compartment. The pressure sensor indicates a measured pressure a first fluid associated with the first pump or a second fluid associated with the second pump. The controller is configured to control the hydraulic system to supply fluid power to the packer actuator to move the packer. The controller is further configured to determine that (a) one or more other vehicle functions are active or (b) the measured pressure exceeds a threshold pressure. The controller is further configured to reduce the fluid power supplied to the packer actuator in response to the determination.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2021Publication date: May 26, 2022Applicant: Oshkosh CorporationInventors: Ross Turner, Joseph Nelson
