  • Patent number: 11897437
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for heat sanitizing a vehicle. In one example, a method may include, responsive to receiving a request for sanitization of a vehicle interior, activating an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) system and operating a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to heat the vehicle interior above an upper threshold temperature for a threshold duration. In this way, the HVAC system may be advantageously used to expose the vehicle interior to temperatures that kill or inactive microbes while the UVGI system may supplement the heat sanitizing.

  • Patent number: 11859994
    Abstract: Systems and methods for landmark-based localization of an autonomous vehicle (“AV”) are described herein. Implementations can generate a first predicted location of a landmark based on a pose instance of a pose of the AV and a stored location of the landmark, generate a second predicted location of the landmark relative to the AV based on an instance of LIDAR data, generate a correction instance based on the comparing, and use the correction instance in generating additional pose instance(s). Systems and methods for validating localization of a vehicle are also described herein. Implementations can obtain driving data from a past episode of locomotion of the vehicle, generate a pose-based predicted location of a landmark in an environment of the vehicle, and compare the pose-based predicted location to a stored location of the landmark in the environment of the vehicle to validate a pose instance of a pose of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230357992
    Abstract: A system and method of producing a moulded article, e.g. a one-piece container, comprises delivering a fibre suspension to a porous mould and removing a suspending liquid (e.g. water) via pores of the porous mould. An inflatable bladder is inserted into the mould in a collapsed state and then inflated to apply pressure to internal walls of the article to remove water content. A wet embryonic form of the container is then transferred to a non-porous mould where an inflatable bladder applies internal pressure to compress the walls and remove further water content. The container is further dried by microwave and/or air drying and may be coated with a protective layer.

  • Patent number: 11807072
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for heat sanitizing a vehicle. In one example, a method may include, while receiving power from an external power source and responsive to receiving a request for cleaning an interior of a vehicle, operating an electric heater of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system to heat the interior above an upper threshold temperature for a first threshold duration using the power received from the external power source. In this way, the HVAC system may be advantageously used to expose the vehicle interior to temperatures that kill or inactive microbes while vehicle battery power and fuel are conserved by using power supplied from the external power source.

  • Publication number: 20230344731
    Abstract: A network security monitoring and correlation system for providing a three-dimensional visualization of network traffic overlaid with security alerts and other relevant discrete data. The system may comprise an application server communicably linked to a client. The server functions to retrieve network traffic metadata and relevant discrete data associated with individual computer hosts and connections in the monitored network, process the network traffic data by building a graph data structure, and then embedding within the graph data structure one or more layers of additional information about the individual computer hosts and connections derived from the discrete data. The client functions to produce a three-dimensional visualization of the network environment by parsing the graph data structure received from the server and then spawning computer hosts and connections in the 3-D environment.

  • Publication number: 20230328928
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a compressible conductive foam having high heat conductivity and high electrical conductivity by having a graphite layer surround a core material, and having a metal layer surround the graphite layer. The metal layer may be a metal sheet or a metal fabric including copper. The metal layer increases the electrical conductivity of the compressible conductive foam while retaining the high thermal conductivity due to the graphite layer.

  • Publication number: 20230272671
    Abstract: A drilling machine, including a drill and a boom, are used for drilling boreholes in the face of a mine. A sensor may scan the mine and create a virtual environment representing the mine based on that scan. The drilling machine may include a computer for moving the drill and the boom from a first position to a second position based at least partially on evaluation of the kinematic redundancy of the drill and boom. This may be used to avoid a collision in moving the drill and boom from the first position to the second position.
