  • Publication number: 20240109478
    Abstract: A light projection system and method for use in communicating intent of an automated system to a user. The light projection system includes a light projector for projecting light onto a surface adjacent to the light projection system; and a controller for controlling the light projected by the light projector. The controller is configured to, in response to a vehicle state or a traffic state, cause the light to be projected by the light projector so that the light impinges the surface and is reflected as a displayed graphic conveying an intent based on the vehicle state or the traffic state.

  • Publication number: 20220410992
    Abstract: A ?SMET platform system for ferrying supplies to soldiers in combat, evacuating the wounded, and helping transport loads. The ?SMET platform system can adjust its geometry to suit specific payloads and adapt to the terrain, is light enough to be carried by a soldier and sturdy enough to evacuate a soldier, and has adequate off-road mobility to follow an infantry unit. The ?SMET platform system's variable geometry enhances mobility over challenging terrain: its rear wheel assembly can expand to increase its stability or contract to reduce its profile.

  • Publication number: 20220300646
    Abstract: The inventor has become aware of the fact that his neural data has been extracted, disseminated, collected and utilized without his consent nor knowledge. The inventor eventually became conscious to the fact that he had received a brain-computer interface (BCI) device with neither his knowledge nor his consent, and that the inventor's neural data was being used to program consciousness. The scope of the invention covers all intellectual property derived from the inventor's neural data. The inventor's neural data serves as a conduit for developing neural data computations and programs.

  • Patent number: 11377982
    Abstract: A rotary valve internal combustion engine has a piston connected to a crankshaft, where the piston is reciprocatable in a cylinder, and a combustion chamber being defined in part by the piston. The engine has a rotary valve rotatable in a valve housing fixed relative to the cylinder, the rotary valve having a valve body containing a volume defining, in part, the combustion chamber and further having in a wall part thereof a port giving, during rotation of the valve, fluid communication successively to and from the combustion chamber via inlet and exhaust ports in the valve housing. The valve body has a non-uniform radial profile along its axial length and/or about its axis of rotation to accommodate changes in the profile of the valve body during operation to maintain a substantially constant clearance between the valve body and the housing throughout the length of the valve body.

  • Patent number: 11377983
    Abstract: A spark ignition rotary valve internal combustion engine includes a combustion chamber being defined in part by the piston and the combustion end of the cylinder, a valve housing fixed at an outer portion of the combustion end of the cylinder and defining a bore, and a rotary valve rotatable about a rotary valve axis in the bore in the valve housing. The rotary valve has a hollow valve body subjected to combustion gases throughout the combustion process. The rotary valve also has, in a wall part thereof, a port giving, during rotation of the valve, fluid communication successively to and from the combustion chamber via inlet and exhaust ports in the valve housing. The inlet and exhaust ports are angularly offset with respect to a radial line from the center of the engine cylinder.
