Patent number: 11151506Abstract: Embodiments provide for using a set of sensors installing within a cargo container and on a vehicle to measure, monitor, and manage the cargo and available cargo capacity within the container. According to one embodiment, a method for measuring cargo capacity and monitoring cargo within a cargo container can comprise reading, by a monitoring system of the cargo container, a plurality of spatial sensors installed within the cargo container. The plurality of spatial sensors can comprise, for example, one or more light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors. An interior of the cargo container can be mapped based on reading the plurality of spatial sensors and available cargo capacity within the cargo container can be determined based on the mapping of the interior of the cargo container. The determined available cargo capacity within the cargo container can be transmitted from the monitoring system to a cloud-based cargo management system.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2018Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Flex Ltd.Inventors: Christopher Bjorn Kilburn, Armando J.

Patent number: 11037432Abstract: Systems and methods of security monitoring using a learning process are provided. Intelligent security systems may perform a learning process to observe the paths of travel by occupants, as detected by various sensors distributed throughout a monitored location over a period of time. After the security system is initially installed, the system may learn the various paths taken by occupants of the house by keeping track of the sequence in which the sensors are activated due to normal human activity. Based on this data, a fully connected graph of sensors with all valid interconnections between sensors is available to the security system.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Ashish Kumar Shukla, Sakthi Kannan Ramabadran, Xi Chen, Armando J.
