Publication number: 20230358548Abstract: A location system utilizes a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) antenna array both to detect surface and subsurface road features as well as broadcast transmissions, which are used to improve localization. For example, the GPR antenna may pick up an AM tor FM radio transmission or Wi-Fi signals, and may use these to calculate or refine the estimated position of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: John Clark, Connor Quinn, Sanford Freedman, Byron Stanley

Publication number: 20230236026Abstract: Route planning is provided to a vehicle (or vehicle driver) based at least in part on the type of vehicle and the terrain conditions between the originating location and destination. The vehicle may employ a terrain monitoring system including a surface-penetrating radar (SPR) system for obtaining SPR signals as the vehicle travels along a route; the obtained SPR signals may be used for navigation against reference images associated with the route. In some embodiments, a navigation server bases route selection in part on the terrain associated with various routes and characteristics of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2022Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Sanford FREEDMAN, Byron STANLEY

Publication number: 20220390594Abstract: Surface-penetrating radar (SPR) is used to obtain images of a vehicle's undercarriage and employ these to identify the vehicle (or vehicle type or class). In particular, a vehicle may have a unique undercarriage SPR “signature” that remains largely stable over time, since it is not significantly affected by buildup of dirt, moisture or light debris. Even if the signature is not sufficiently differentiated from those of similar vehicles, it can be used to identify the vehicle within a class, which may be adequate for many purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Daniel JAMISON, Mohamed Shaib, Connor Quinn, Scott Hay, Byron Stanley

Publication number: 20220026558Abstract: Doppler analysis of surface-penetrating radar signals are utilized to compute or estimate parameters associated with vehicle motion. The Doppler shift may originate with reflections from subsurface or above-surface features ahead of (or behind) the moving vehicle, in which case a vehicle speed may be computed from the shift; or may originate with reflections from surface or subsurface features directly below the vehicle, in which case the shift corresponds to a vertical speed that may be used to sense the performance of, or changes in, the vehicle's suspension system.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2021Publication date: January 27, 2022Inventors: Connor QUINN, Bryan J. FOX, Sanford FREEDMAN, Daniel JAMISON, Byron STANLEY

Patent number: 11161742Abstract: A nanostructured material includes carbon nanoparticles (CNPs), such as carbon nanotube particles (CNTs) or carbon nanofiber particles (CNFs), intercalated by intercalation nanoparticles (INPs), such as halloysite nanoparticles (HNPs), in a base material, such as a polymer. A method for making the nanostructured material includes the steps of: providing a mixture of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) having a selected composition; providing intercalation nanoparticles (INPs) configured to intercalate the carbon nanoparticles (CNPs); intercalating the carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) by mixing the intercalation nanoparticles (INPs) in a selected CNP:HNP ratio to form an intercalated material; and combining the intercalated material in a base material in a selected concentration with the base material providing a matrix for the intercalated material.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: EDEN INNOVATIONS LTD.Inventors: Zhonghua Zhu, Byron Stanley Villacorta Hernandez, Xuegang Tang, Rowan Wayne Truss, Gregory Howard Solomon

Publication number: 20210111483Abstract: A system for navigating a vehicle on a terrain includes a surface-penetrating radar (SPR) system having one or more micro-antenna array having a full frequency range for acquiring real-time SPR information associated with the vehicle and one or more controllers configured to determine information associated with the terrain and/or the vehicle based at least in part on the acquired real-time SPR information. In various embodiments, the micro-antenna array(s) includes multiple micro-antenna elements, each being configured to operate at a frequency range, the frequency ranges of the micro-antenna elements collectively spanning the full frequency range greater than the frequency range of an individual one of the micro-antenna elements.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Byron STANLEY, Bryan J. FOX, Sanford FREEDMAN

Publication number: 20210026373Abstract: One or more vehicles in a platoon may be operated autonomously using a surface-penetrating radar (SPR) system implemented in the lead vehicle. SPR signals obtained by the system may be converted to one or more images (or scans) that provide information about the ground surface and/or other surfaces around the vehicle within a detection range of the SPR system. Based on the obtained SPR signals, the lead vehicle may create a real-time map including the SPR information and/or localize the real-time SPR information to an existing map. This real-time SPR map information may then be transmitted from the lead vehicle to succeeding vehicles in the platoon in a pass-it-down fashion for localizing the succeeding vehicles behind the lead vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Daniel Jamison, Byron Stanley
