  • Patent number: 11681811
    Abstract: A method, implemented by a ground-based computing system, identifies cybersecurity threats originating from proposed updates to software, firmware or configuration file instructions resident in hardware components in a fleet of vehicles. In a proposed update, a valid encrypted signature block of the developer must be present. The proposed update is contained as a last file of a series of linked sequential blockchain files of prior updates. Upon a determination that the proposed update contains a valid signature block and is the last file in a validated series of linked blockchain files, the update is analyzed for any cybersecurity threats. If no cybersecurity threats are found, the update is transmitted to the vehicles in the fleet for implementation in the respective hardware components.

  • Patent number: 11679942
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus (1) for transferring items from and to a transport line (100), more particularly a transport line moving at high speed. The invention comprises the steps of picking a first item (10a) from a transport line (100) and placing a second item (10b) onto said transport line, preferably at an immediately subsequent time, into the gap left by said first item that has just been picked. The invention is applied in particular, but not exclusively, in the field of item packaging, for instance in bottling systems. More particularly, the invention can be used for transferring items to be checked from a transport line to an inspection station, and for transferring back items that have been checked and deemed satisfactory from said inspection station to said transport line.

  • Patent number: 11680543
    Abstract: Various implementations of an extinguishable, solid propellant divert system for a flight vehicle are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for using the divert system to control the flight of a flight vehicle. In one implementation, a divert system includes a hot gas generator pneumatically linked to one or more divert thrusters and an extinguishment valve. The extinguishment valve can be opened to rapidly depressurize the hot gas generator and extinguish the solid propellant burning inside. In another implementation, a method of controlling the trajectory of the flight vehicle includes repeatedly igniting and extinguishing the solid propellant in a hot gas generator and using the hot gas to provide divert thrust for the flight vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11681983
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically reprioritizing pick jobs in a fulfillment center are described herein. The example systems can be configured to periodically classify pick jobs in order to optimize throughput of the fulfillment center. The classifying can include determining an estimated completion time for pick jobs and identifying at-risk jobs that may complete after their associated due dates. The at-risk jobs can be assigned to autonomous vehicles based primarily on their associated due dates. Other pick jobs that are not at-risk can be assigned to autonomous vehicles based primarily on efficiency. The at-risk pick jobs can be assigned to autonomous vehicles before the other pick jobs.

  • Publication number: 20230186229
    Abstract: A product-processing planning device according to an embodiment has a first interface, a processor, and a second interface. The first interface acquires past processed data including the number of products of each batch processed in the past by a product processing apparatus, which processes the products categorized into a plurality of batches. The processor estimates the number of products of each batch to be processed by the product processing apparatus based on the past processed data acquired by the first interface and creates a product processing plan in which processing periods obtained by dividing a period of processing the products of each batch into a plurality of periods are allocated depending on the estimated number of the products of each batch. The second interface outputs the product processing plan generated by the processor to a control device of the product processing apparatus.
