Patent number: 11718320Abstract: Systems and methods for using transmission sensor(s) in localization of an autonomous vehicle (“AV”) are described herein. Some implementations receive instance(s) of transmission sensor data generated by transmission sensor(s) of the AV, generate pose instance(s) of a pose of the AV based on the instance(s) of the transmission sensor data, and cause the AV to be controlled based on the pose instance(s). In some of those implementations, the pose instance(s) can be generated based on steering data the AV that indicates steering angle(s) of the autonomous, and that temporally correspond to the instance(s) of the transmission sensor data. In various implementations, the pose instance(s) may only be generated or utilized based on the instance(s) of the transmission sensor data (and optionally the steering data) in response to detecting an adverse event at the AV.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: AURORA OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: James Scott Jackson, Abhay Vardhan, Adam Richard Williams, Yekeun Jeong, Ethan Eade

Patent number: 11716266Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Ingalls Information Security IP, LLCInventors: Jason Ingalls, Adam Richards, Eugenio Perinelli, Nicola Piccinelli, Riccardo Arena

Patent number: 11692684Abstract: A filtering assembly for enhancing lighting from a luminaire serves as a lighting filter that includes one or more stackable and interchangeable filter devices. The filter devices are configured to detachably couple to a luminaire, and custom block a portion of the light transmitted from the luminaire. This enables a uniquely shaped transmission of light and/or removing unwanted spills and or glare emanating from the luminaire. The filter devices comprise a body that defines a clear section that allows full passage of light from the underlying luminaire, and an opaque section that allows partial or no passage of light. The filter devices also comprise an outer rim having a friction enhancing material that enables a snug engagement with the perimeter recess forming in the luminaire. The friction enhancing material of the outer rim restricts slippage when stacking multiple filter devices, and with the inside perimeter recess formed in the luminaire.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: DESIGNSPARK, LLCInventor: Adam Richard Levine
