  • Patent number: 12037017
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for evaluation of a planned trajectory for an autonomous vehicle. For instance, for each of a plurality of objects, a predicted trajectory may be received. The planned trajectory may identify locations and times that the vehicle will be at those locations. For each of the plurality of objects, a grid including a plurality of cells may be generated. Occupancy of each grid for each of the plurality of objects may be determined based on the predicted trajectories. A cell of each grid which will be occupied by the vehicle at a location and time of the planned trajectory may be identified. The planned trajectory may be evaluated based on whether any identified cell is occupied by any of the plurality of objects at the time.

  • Patent number: 12024603
    Abstract: A method of forming a composite material includes mixing granules of thermoplastic(s) and granules of reinforcing material(s) using a mixer with an interior friction coating. The friction generated by interaction between the granules and friction coating causes granules of at least one of the thermoplastic(s) to be heated to a liquid or semi-liquid state. The liquid/semi-liquid thermoplastic(s) act a binder for the mixed material. A system for forming such a composite material includes such a mixer with an interior friction coating. The system may also include a mould and/or a press for forming material produced by the mixer into a finished shape. The method and system may use post-consumer and post-industrial material as an input allowing such material to be recycled. In some cases, cross-contaminated or mixed post-consumer/post-industrial material may be recycled, potentially reducing environmental impacts.
