  • Patent number: 12223741
    Abstract: A visual perception system includes a scanning camera, color sensor with color filter array (CFA), and a classifier node. The camera captures full color pixel images of a target object, e.g., a traffic light, and processes the pixel images through a narrow band pass filter (BPF), such that the narrow BPF outputs monochromatic images of the target object. The color sensor and CFA receive the monochromatic images. The color sensor has at least three color channels each corresponding to different colors of spectral data in the monochromatic images. The classifier node uses a predetermined classification decision tree to classify constituent pixels of the monochromatic images into different color bins as a corresponding color of interest. The color of interest may be used to perform a control action, e.g., via an automated driver assist system (ADAS) control unit or an indicator device.

  • Patent number: 12211387
    Abstract: A system for urban air mobility monitors flight separation for compliance with a safe separation distance. A reference formation airspace is established for a reference air taxi based on minimum longitudinal, lateral and vertical parameters. When penetration of the reference formation airspace is detected, a penetration airspace is established. A centroid of the penetration airspace is determined and a target separation to the centroid is supplied to the air taxi to reestablish safe separation. The extent of separation is also safely contained by the presence of virtual air taxis whose positions on the periphery of the penetrated airspace serve to limit potential penetration of surrounding air taxi air spaces.

    Abstract: Methods, user interfaces and systems are described that enable responder preferences to be considered during deployment of a public responder network. In some embodiments, a user is able to set preferences such as a mobility status, a public accessibility preference, a incidents notifications preference or a geographic preference associated with a medical device that is a part of the public responder network. In some embodiments, the user is able to select or define an area for which incident notifications are desired or are to be restricted in some manner. The described approach is well suited for public responder networks that include medical devices such as defibrillators (e.g., AEDs) in the network.

  • Patent number: 12211371
    Abstract: Systems and methods for real-time prioritization and management of heat trace circuit alarms are provided. A method includes importing heat trace circuit alarm data, ERP scheduling data, process data, operations data and weather data to establish a criticality matrix for prioritizing heat trace alarms. Alarms are assigned a criticality rating and alarm grouping based on the criticality matrix. Alarms are prioritized according to the criticality rating and an independent self-test to validate each alarm is performed based on the alarm grouping. Validated alarms are compared against ERP data to create or update a work request to repair to alarm based on the criticality rating. The system may implement artificial intelligence machine learning algorithms to predict failure of heat trace circuit components based on alarm history and tracked electrical and temperature operating parameters of heat trace circuits.
