  • Patent number: 11881028
    Abstract: A vehicle system includes a lidar system that obtains an initial point cloud and obtains a dual density point cloud by implementing a first neural network and based on the initial point cloud. The dual density point cloud results from reducing point density of the initial point cloud outside a region of interest (ROI). Processing the dual density point cloud results in a detection result that indicates any objects in a field of view (FOV) of the lidar system. A controller obtains the detection result from the lidar system and controls an operation of the vehicle based on the detection result.

  • Patent number: 11879425
    Abstract: A proactive method prevents vibrations in one or more rotor blades of a wind turbine when the wind turbine is in a standstill idling state with a rotor hub free to rotate. The method determines a minimum revolution rate of the rotor blades that prevents vibrations of the rotor blades and that the actual revolution rate of the rotor blades is below the minimum revolution rate. A wind parameter is detected and determined to be above a threshold limit. The method also detects if grid power is available for pitching the rotor blades. Based on the wind parameter, a controller determines a pitch angle for one or more of the rotor blades to increase rotation of the blades to at least the minimum revolution rate. The controller initiates pitching the rotor blades to increase the revolution rate of the rotor blades prior to vibrations being induced in the rotor blades.
