  • Patent number: 11165134
    Abstract: An antenna mount for supporting an antenna on a support member in a manner which reduces the likelihood of the antenna, antenna mount and support member being damaged by an object making contact with the antenna. The antenna mount has a mounting plate connected to the antenna, a pivot mechanism connecting the mounting plate to the support member and a biasing mechanism interconnecting the pivot mechanism and an anchor associated with the support member. The pivot mechanism allows the antenna to move to a pivoted position in response to contact with an object. The biasing mechanism is configured to hold the antenna in a desired operating position during use and to move the antenna from its pivoted position back to the desired operating position after contact with an object. The antenna mount can be utilized with an upwardly extending tubular support member of a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11166222
    Abstract: A repeater system includes a first RF repeater device arranged in a first topology of a network of RF repeater devices, to communicate with one or more second RF repeater devices in the network of RF repeater devices to service a source node and destination nodes in a wireless network. The first RF repeater device detects a change in a network condition in wireless network between source node and the destination nodes. Based on the detected change in network condition, the one or more second RF repeater devices are controlled in network of RF repeater devices to re-configure the first topology of network of RF repeater devices to a second topology. The re-configuration of first topology of network of RF repeater devices to second topology is executed to continue to service source node and the destination nodes in the wireless network in the changed network condition.

  • Patent number: 11164400
    Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to detecting sensor data to be annotated for autonomous vehicle perception algorithm training. A label identifying a type of an object is assigned to an object at a particular location in an environment based on sensor data generated by a sensor system of an autonomous vehicle for a given time. The label is assigned based on a confidence score assigned to the type of the object by a computer-implemented perception algorithm. The computer-implemented perception algorithm assigns the confidence score to the type of the object based on the sensor data corresponding to the particular location in the environment for the given time. An output of a heuristic is generated based on the label and/or the confidence score, and the output of the heuristic is used to control whether to cause the sensor data for the given time to be annotated.
