Patent number: 11682242Abstract: A vehicle safety system of a vehicle facilitates safe exigency ingress into a vehicle. The vehicle safety system may receive data associated with a condition of the vehicle (e.g., from sensors, components, remote signals, passenger input, etc.). Based at least in part on the data associated with the condition of the vehicle, the vehicle safety system may detect a triggering event associated with the ingress of a passenger compartment of the vehicle. Based at least in part on the triggering event, the vehicle safety system may perform a vehicular safety measure associated with ingress to the passenger compartment of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Mohammed Imran Ali, Ari Goldberg, Koun Han, Jacob Avi Harper, Andrew Allen Haskin, Marina Camille Josephs, Michael Moshe Kohen, Devon Langston, Justin Calvin Leung, Mark R.

Patent number: 11591011Abstract: This application describes systems and techniques for adjusting one or more setting(s) of a vehicle based on detected condition(s) to avoid damage due to contact of the tires with a body, chassis, or other components of the vehicle. In some instances, the vehicle may determine a ride height of the vehicle, determine a limited range of steering angles based at least in part on the ride height, and control operation of the steering system of the vehicle based at least in part on the limited range of steering angles. In some instances, the vehicle may determine a steering angle of the vehicle, determine a limited range of ride heights based at least in part on the steering angle, and control operation of the suspension system of the vehicle based at least in part on the limited range of ride heights.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Zachary Stuart Churukian, Johannes Edren, Justin Calvin Leung, Ahditya Melkote, David Evan Zlotnik

Patent number: 11009477Abstract: A semiconductor-based multi-sensor module integrates miniature temperature, pressure, and humidity sensors onto a single substrate. Pressure and humidity sensors can be implemented as capacitive thin film sensors, while the temperature sensor is implemented as a precision miniature Wheatstone bridge. Such multi-sensor modules can be used as building blocks in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Furthermore, the multi-sensor module can be built on top of existing circuitry that can be used to process signals from the sensors. An integrated multi-sensor module that uses differential sensors can measure a variety of localized ambient environmental conditions substantially simultaneously, and with a high level of precision. The multi-sensor module also features an integrated heater that can be used to calibrate or to adjust the sensors, either automatically or as needed.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: STMicroelectronics Pte Ltd.Inventors: Olivier Le Neel, Ravi Shankar, Suman Cherian, Calvin Leung, Tien-Choy Loh, Shian-Yeu Kam

Patent number: 10905362Abstract: A universal electrochemical micro-sensor can be used either as a biosensor or an environmental sensor. Because of its small size and flexibility, the micro-sensor is suitable for continuous use to monitor fluids within a live subject, or as an environmental monitor. The micro-sensor can be formed on a reusable glass carrier substrate. A flexible polymer backing, together with a set of electrodes, forms a reservoir that contains an electrolytic fluid chemical reagent. During fabrication, the glass carrier substrate protects the fluid chemical reagent from degradation. A conductive micromesh further contains the reagent while allowing partial exposure to the ambient biological or atmospheric environment. The micromesh density can be altered to accommodate fluid reagents having different viscosities. Flexibility is achieved by attaching a thick polymer tape and peeling away the micro-sensor from the glass carrier substrate.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: STMICROELECTRONICS PTE. LTD.Inventors: Olivier Le Neel, Suman Cherian, Calvin Leung

Publication number: 20210000621Abstract: A sleeve for mounting a prosthetic unit on a limb is formed using a tripartite composite that includes a breathable woven fabric in combination with an elastic urethane middle layer and a soft perforated plastic inner layer. The middle layer can be a hyper-elastic polymer that is cured to a hemispherical shape to stretch and move while maintaining a shape memory that returns the polymer to its original shape once relieved of a stretching force. Moreover, the liner/prosthetic sleeve of the present invention's anatomical suspension works as an advantage to maintain its placement on the user's residual limb.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2020Publication date: January 7, 2021Inventors: Calvin Leung, Nicole Escobar, Rae Jillian Ramiscal Rivera, Kimberly Antonio Ventura

Patent number: 9866658Abstract: SAS expanders are commonly used within a SAS network topology to allow multiple disk drives (targets) to connect to multiple host devices (initiators). A connection between an initiator and a target is setup inside an expander on the pathway between the initiator and the target. A source device sends a connection request message called an open address frame using in-band signaling. The expander processes the open address frame and forwards an modified open address frame to the next expander in the path or to the final destination device.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: MICROSEMI STORAGE SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Cheng Yi, Heng Liao, Calvin Leung
