Publication number: 20220381919Abstract: Three-dimensional LiDAR scanning combines a solid-state fast scanning device such as an optical switch and a slower scanning device such as a mirror and may include a switch architecture for a large port-count optical switch to provide frame rates of 100 Hz or higher with improved resolution and detection range. A controller provides adjustable scanning of the field-of-view (FOV) with respect to scan area, scan or frame rate, and resolution for a frame, detected object, or time slices of a scan. A controller combines RGB data with NIR data to match 3D images with color 2D images. A controller or computer processes point cloud data to generate vector cloud data to identify, categorize, and track objects within or beyond the FOV. Vector cloud data provides lossless compression for storage/communication of road traffic and scene data, object history, and object sharing beyond the FOV.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2021Publication date: December 1, 2022Applicant: Makalu Optics Ltd.Inventors: Sagie TSADKA, Shai AGASSI

Patent number: 8454377Abstract: The connection system is designed to facilitate electrical and data connections between the battery and the electric vehicle. The connectors are designed with alignment mechanisms to account for initial misalignment of the battery and vehicle while still ensuring positive contact between them. The alignment mechanisms also introduce compliance into the system to ensure that the mechanical components of the system are not placed under unwanted loads or stresses. The connection system houses data connectors carrying communication signals as well as power connectors carrying high voltage electricity. The data connectors are shielded to prevent interference caused by proximity to the high voltage elements. The connection system uses no mechanical latching or locking mechanisms.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2011Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: Better Place GmbHInventors: Yoav Heichal, Tal Agassi, Shai Agassi

Patent number: 8164300Abstract: At a battery exchange station a discharged battery is removed and a charged battery is inserted into an electric vehicle. The battery exchange station has various mechanisms to make this exchange. In some embodiments, the batteries are stored in a warehouse, where they are given an appropriate amount of charge. The charged batteries are moved from the warehouse by an automated robotic mechanism. The automated robotic system provides the charged battery to a battery exchange system which inserts the charged battery into the vehicle after it removes the discharged battery from the vehicle. The insertion and removal of the battery is done vertically, i.e., into and out of the bottom of the vehicle. The battery exchange system is located in a service bay under the vehicle. A sliding door system creates an opening above the service bay. The opening is of variable size depending on the size of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2009Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Better Place GmbHInventors: Shai Agassi, Yoav Heichal

Patent number: RE45752Abstract: There is provided a process for predicting whether a query will produce a result in an information system formed of objects having different instances and relations between the objects. An instance-to-object bitmap is computed off-line, before queries are generated by a user: the bitmap is used to represent the existence of a relation path from instances to the other objects of a database. When a query is generated, the bitmap is accessed to predict whether there exists a relation from the instance to the object, that is whether the query will issue a result. The process makes it possible for a user to abort queries without consuming run-time. It also makes it possible to guide users through navigation of a Webpage or the like, by suggesting relations that will produce results.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2004Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: SAP Portals Israel, Ltd.Inventors: Yaniv Gvily, Shai Agassi
