Patent number: 11226397Abstract: Example embodiments relate to slanted radomes for protecting radar units. An example radar system may include a radar unit that includes at least one antenna having a radiation pattern. The radar unit is configured to transmit a radar signal based on the radiation pattern and receive radar signals. In addition, the radar system further includes a radome located in a direction of transmission of the radiation pattern. Particularly, the radome is aligned at an angle relative to a plane of the at least one antenna such that reflections of the transmitted radar signal caused by the radome are directed towards at least one of a null of the radiation pattern and an absorption component.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Waymo LLCInventors: Benjamin Chen, Adam Brown, Philip Ma, Matthew Markel

Patent number: 9931544Abstract: A ball bag stand and ball bag engagement structure includes a ball bag stand structure, a ball bag structure, protrudingly engaging structures, and cords. The protrudingly engaging structures each have a vertically smooth action force-free surface and an action force-applied surface with a protruding flange. A user can lift the ball bag by lifting the cords between the ball bag and the ball bag stand with one finger of the user single-handedly to thereby not only allow the action force-free surfaces of the fastening holes to press against the vertical smooth surface while sliding relative thereto, but also allow the action force-applied surfaces of the fastening holes to move away from the protruding flanges. Hence, the cords can be moved away from the protrudingly engaging structures with one finger of the user single-handedly, so that the user can remove the ball bag from the ball bag stand easily.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Inventor: Benjamin Chen
