  • Patent number: 11501526
    Abstract: A system for localizing an autonomous vehicle to a target area can include a position indicator adapted for association with the vehicle in a three dimensional configuration, a detection device configured to detect the position indicator, a computation device configured to compute a position of the vehicle based on the detected position indicator and the relationship of the configuration to the vehicle orientation, a transmitter configured to receive information from the computation device and produce a signal carrying the information, a receiver configured to receive the signal from the transmitter and filter the information therefrom, and a control system configured for association with and control of one or more directional control components of the vehicle, the control being based on the information received from the receiver relating to localizing the vehicle to the target area. A method of for localizing a vehicle to a target area is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11256716
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method verifying mirroring of source data units to target data units. Source data units in a source storage are mirrored to corresponding target data units in a target storage. The source data units are read to compare to corresponding mirrored target data units. The read source data units that did not match the corresponding target data units are saved in source version data. The source data units that were read and did not match the corresponding target data units are read. The mirroring of the source data units are verified in response to determining that for each mirrored source data unit, one of a read source data unit and the read source data unit saved in the source version data matches the corresponding target data unit.
