Patent number: 12007498Abstract: Examples relate to near-field radar filters that can enhance measurements near a radar unit. An example may involve receiving a first set of radar reflection signals at a radar unit coupled to a vehicle and determining a filter configured to offset near-field effects of radar reflection signals received at the radar unit. In some instances, the filter depends on an azimuth angle and a distance for surfaces in the environment causing the first set of radar reflection signals. The example may also involve receiving, at the radar unit, a second set of radar reflection signals and determining, using the filter, an azimuth angle and a distance for surfaces in the environment causing the second set of radar reflection signals. The vehicle may be controlled based in part on the azimuth angle and the distance for the surfaces causing the second plurality of radar reflection signals.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: June 11, 2024Assignee: Waymo LLCInventors: Timothy Campbell, Brett Coon

Publication number: 20240160840Abstract: A system and method for facilitating annotation of a digital document between first and second computing devices is provided. The system comprises a database/server that receives an original digital document from the first computing device and communicates a shared digital document to the second computing device. The second computing device receives and displays the shared digital document for annotation. The annotation produces an annotated digital document which includes annotated document data overlaying the original document without modification to the original document data. The original digital document may be edited at only the first computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Shawn Jamison Mott, Tilo Schrodt, Cory Janick, Timothy A.

Publication number: 20040154455Abstract: A cutoff apparatus includes a blade and an actuator, the actuator being operatively connected to the blade for selectively moving the blade in a rectilinear direction. A cutting block is disposed adjacent the blade, and the cutting block is positioned off-center with respect to a plane defined by the blade's rectilinear movement. A depth control mechanism is utilized for selectively controlling a degree of movement of the blade toward the cutting block. Operation of the actuator selectively causes the blade to move in the rectilinear direction thereby impacting the cutting block to an extent in accordance with the depth control mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2004Publication date: August 12, 2004Applicant: MET-COIL SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Randy Runyan, Timothy A.
