Abstract: An autonomous snowbank deconstructing system includes an autonomous vehicle, one or more boom arms coupled to the autonomous vehicle, and a dulled shovel component coupled to the one or more boom arms. The autonomous vehicle is configured to autonomously gather loose debris to form one or more debris piles with repetitive, low-impact contact of the dulled shovel component with the loose debris, and autonomously deconstruct accumulated debris with repetitive, low-impact contact of the dulled shovel component with the accumulated debris.

Abstract: A snowbank deconstructing system includes a dulled motorized instrument configured to make repetitive, low-impact contact with accumulated snow. The dulled motorized instrument is configured to be safe to human touch during the repetitive, low-impact contact with the accumulated snow.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a multichannel waveform synthesis engine. A phase counter module counts to a value corresponding to a number of phases available, outputs a phase counter value indicating a current phase, and resets the phase counter value when the phase counter value reaches a phase counter reset value. Several channels each output a waveform. Each channel includes a phase module that receives the phase counter value output from the phase counter module, and activates an activation signal when the phase counter value indicates a phase assigned to the channel from the number of phases available. Each channel includes a pulse width module that receives the activation signal, and when the activation signal is activated, activates a waveform for a period of time indicated by a pulse width assigned to the channel, and deactivates the waveform after the period of time indicated by the pulse width assigned to the channel.

Abstract: A signal generator generates an electrical signal that is sent to an amplifier, which increases the power of the signal using power from a power source. The amplified signal is fed to a sender transducer to generate ultrasonic waves that can be focused and sent to a receiver. The receiver transducer converts the ultrasonic waves back into electrical energy and stores it in an energy storage device, such as a battery, or uses the electrical energy to power a device. In this way, a device can be remotely charged or powered without having to be tethered to an electrical outlet.
