  • Patent number: 11178552
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and methods for creating and maintaining a virtual subnetwork of telecommunication base stations within a wider telecommunication network. In an LTE-based example, the subnetwork includes a connection aggregator that is coupled between the plurality of eNodeBs internal to the subnetwork and one or more MMEs in the outer network. The connection aggregator intercepts all control plane messages between the MMEs and the internal eNodeBs, remaps eNodeB identifiers, and transmits repackaged messages so that the outer network sees the entire subnetwork as a single “giant” eNodeB. The disclosed system and methods enables the operator of the virtual subnetwork to add and shut down eNodeBs as demand for connectivity fluctuates, and to do so such that all changes are unseen by the outer network.

  • Patent number: 11175671
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides autonomous vehicle systems and methods that include or otherwise leverage a machine-learned yield model. In particular, the machine-learned yield model can be trained or otherwise configured to receive and process feature data descriptive of objects perceived by the autonomous vehicle and/or the surrounding environment and, in response to receipt of the feature data, provide yield decisions for the autonomous vehicle relative to the objects. For example, a yield decision for a first object can describe a yield behavior for the autonomous vehicle relative to the first object (e.g., yield to the first object or do not yield to the first object). Example objects include traffic signals, additional vehicles, or other objects. The motion of the autonomous vehicle can be controlled in accordance with the yield decisions provided by the machine-learned yield model.

  • Patent number: 11177872
    Abstract: A system includes control circuitry that obtains surrounding environment scan information from each repeater device of a network of repeater devices. A plurality of signal propagation indicators is determined, and a three-dimensional representation of a geographical area is generated based on the obtained surrounding environment scan information and plurality of signal propagation indicators. A location and movement of a plurality of user devices in the geographical area is tracked and a beamforming scheme is selected for one or more repeater devices of the network of repeater devices. An out-of-band control of operations of the network of repeater devices is executed based on the generated three-dimensional representation, the selected beamforming scheme for the one or more repeater devices, and the tracked location and movement of the plurality of user devices in the geographical area, for example, to achieve high dates, less interference, and increased signal strength and gain.

  • Patent number: 11173630
    Abstract: A mobile volumetric concrete mixing system includes a suction system that vacuums up trench spoils while a trench is being cut. These trench spoils are then screened on-site for particle size to be reused and mixed with water, cement, and/or other admixtures at an auger mixer to form a backfill mixture. This backfill mixture may then be loaded into a hopper that continuously agitates the mixture so that the mixture does not harden before pouring. The agitating hopper is coupled to a discharge chute of the auger mixer and includes one or more augers disposed at various orientations that the backfill mixture is channeled through. From the agitating hopper, the backfill mixture is channeled to an applicator that moves along the trench and that enables the mixture to be quickly poured into the trench with little clean-up required.

  • Patent number: 11177947
    Abstract: This disclosure provides enhanced management of encryption key updates based on user group activity. A system utilizes a vault key and a combination of other security keys to control access to secret data shared by members of a group who are participating in a collaborative session, such as a channel or chat session. The vault key allows a system to control access to secret data with users that join a particular group while immediately restricting access from users that leave the group. Updates to the keys are initiated based on the activity of the members of a group, which can include, but is not limited to, a threshold change in a number of group members, a total number of group members, an amount of data shared between the group members, and/or an age of one or more keys used to secure data shared by the group.

  • Patent number: 11174635
    Abstract: A baffle tile that folds from a flat configuration into a three-dimensional configuration is disclosed. In the three-dimensional configuration, it includes a rim portion and a baffle portion. The rim portion is split into halves. Each half of the rim portion terminates in a pair of upwardly-folded, spaced-apart tabs. When the baffle tile is in its three-dimensional configuration, each tab meets and abuts its counterpart from the other half of the rim portion. Each tab has a notch in it, arranged such that the notches of abutted tabs are aligned. A retaining structure inserts into each set of aligned notches. The retaining structures prevent the tabs of the baffle tile from separating. In some cases, a single retaining structure that has approximately the same size as the baffle tile itself may also serve as a cap to enclose the tile.
