  • Patent number: 11952951
    Abstract: A method of operating a two-stroke cycle, opposed-piston engine comprising a pumping device coupled to pump air to cylinders of the engine through a charge air cooler and an aftertreatment system of thermally-activated devices coupled to receive exhaust from the cylinders by which a thermal state of the exhaust sufficient to sustain thermal activation of one or more of the aftertreatment system devices may be maintained during a deceleration or motoring condition of operation by reducing the mass airflow to the engine.

  • Patent number: 11536850
    Abstract: A method includes, by a mobile device, receiving a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal, and receiving, from a wireless device, via a PC5 interface, a message including a location of a reference structure, a calculated location of the mobile device, or a combination thereof. The method also includes determine whether the GNSS signal is a spoofing signal based on: a spoof indication of the GNSS signal, and whether a difference between a location of the mobile device determined based on the GNSS signal and one of the location of the reference structure, the calculated location of the mobile device, or a location of the mobile device determined based on the location of the reference structure is greater than a threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20220350030
    Abstract: Techniques are discussed herein for detecting anomalous signals such as spoofed satellite positioning system (SPS) signals and for the transmission of accurate location estimates between user equipments (UEs) when the SPS signals are not reliable. A UE determines an SPS derived location estimate and determines an associated confidence level. The confidence level is determined based on time or location derived from the SPS signals, e.g., relative to local time or non-SPS information, such as stored previous location estimates, non-SPS sensor information, and location information from other UEs. The UE transmits location information to other UEs that includes a selected location estimate, confidence level, and the source of the location estimate, e.g., where the SPS derived location estimate is selected if the confidence level is high and the non-SPS derived location estimate is selected if the confidence level is low.

  • Patent number: 11080561
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for training and verification of learning models are described. A device may capture a camera frame including a road feature of a physical environment, determine a first classification and a first localization of the road feature based on positioning information of the road feature from a high-definition map and positioning information of the device from a positioning engine. The device may analyze a learning model by comparing one or more of the first classification of the road feature or the first localization of the road feature in the camera frame to one or more of a second classification or a second localization of the road feature determined by the learning model. The device may then determine a loss comparison value and adapt the learning model according to the loss comparison value.

  • Publication number: 20190120164
    Abstract: Control of airflow in a uniflow-scavenged, two-stroke cycle, opposed-piston engine during transient operation includes monitoring at least one operating parameter of the engine to recognize a transition to a transient state of engine operation. If a transient state of operation is detected, fuel injection and airflow into to the cylinders of the engine are controlled to optimize combustion and limit emissions. Airflow into cylinders of the engine may be controlled by increasing a scavenging ratio of the engine or by increasing a trapping efficiency of the engine.
