Publication number: 20190382032Abstract: A method for controlling operation of an autonomous vehicle and a related system includes: comparing, at a remote computing system operably connected with a processor in the autonomous vehicle, a first signal indicative of an environment in which the autonomous vehicle is arranged and a second signal indicative of the environment in which the autonomous vehicle is arranged. The method also includes generating, at the remote computing system, a restriction command to restrict operation of the autonomous vehicle if the comparison indicates that the first signal and the second signal do not correspond. The first signal is generated by the remote computing system based on input received from the processor of the autonomous vehicle. The second signal is a processed signal received from an external computing system operably connected with both the remote computing system and the processor in the autonomous vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2018Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Kai Hau Alan Yeung, Moshe Zukerman

Patent number: 7983159Abstract: An active queue management (AQM) process for network communications equipment. The AQM process is queue based and involves applying at a queue size threshold congestion notification to communications packets in a queue of a link via packet dropping; and adjusting said queue size threshold on the basis of the congestion level. The AQM process releases more buffer capacity to accommodate more incoming packets by increasing said queue size threshold when congestion increases; and decreases buffer capacity by reducing said queue size threshold when congestion decreases. Network communications equipment includes a switch component for switching communications packets between input ports and output ports, packet queues for at least the output ports, and an active queue manager for applying congestion notification to communications packets in the queues for the output ports via packet dropping.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2010Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Intellectual Ventures Holding 57 LLCInventors: Jinshen Sun, King-Tim Ko, Guanrong Chen, Sammy Chan, Moshe Zukerman

Patent number: 7272111Abstract: An active queue management (AQM) process for network communications equipment. The AQM process is rate based and involves applying at a rate congestion notification to communications packets in a queue of a link, and adjusting the rate of congestion notification on the basis of the difference between an arrival rate for the packets and a target capacity of the link. Network communications equipment includes a switch component for switching communications packets between input ports and output ports, packet queues for at least the output ports, and an active queue manager for applying congestion notification to communications packets in the queues for the output ports. The congestion notification is applied at respective rates for the queues, and the rates of congestion notification adjusted on the basis of the respective arrival rates of the packets for the queues of the output ports. The AQM process can be applied to a class based DiffServ architecture.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2002Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignees: The University of Melbourne, Hewlett-Packard Australian LimitedInventors: Moshe Zukerman, Bartek Peter Wydrowski
