  • Patent number: 12284288
    Abstract: Autonomous devices and systems, methods, and program products for authorizing and performing autonomous devices transactions are disclosed. An autonomous device can be configured to generate a first hash value of a chain of hash values by applying a hash algorithm to first data including first new data and a first previous hash value of the chain of hash values, the first previous hash value computed by applying the hash algorithm to first previous data. The device can transmit to a transaction computer system the first hash value and the first new data. The device can generate and transmit to the transaction computer system a first signed electronic transaction request comprising first transaction data comprising a sending account identifier associated with the autonomous device, a destination account identifier, a transaction amount, and a timestamp. The device can digitally sign the transaction request using a private key of an asymmetric key pair.

  • Patent number: 12055636
    Abstract: A system and method receive a first beam pattern from an optical source that includes optical beams transmitted towards a target. The system and method measure a first vertical angle between at least two of the optical beams along a first axis relative to the FMCW LIDAR system. The system and method calculate a second beam pattern based on the first vertical angle and a pivot point. The second beam pattern produces a second vertical angle between the two optical beams. The system and method adjust one or more components from a first position that forms the first beam pattern to a second position that forms the second beam pattern for transmission towards the target. The system and method receive one or more return optical beams from the target, based on the second beam pattern, to produce a plurality of points to form the point cloud.

  • Publication number: 20240192329
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems and methods for changing or adjusting field of view (FOV) during operation. Changing the FOV may include transmitting an optical beam toward a target, and forming the FOV using the optical beam via a first rotating reflector and a second rotating reflector. The first rotating reflector may include a galvo mirror in control of the vertical FOV, and the second rotating reflector may include a rotating polygon mirror in control of and providing for the horizontal FOV. The FOV may be adjusted in the vertical direction by actuating the first rotating reflector along a vertical direction using a first actuator. The first actuator may determine the actuation based on an orientation of the LIDAR system (e.g., a difference between an initial orientation measured after installation and a baseline orientation referencing a horizontal orientation).
