Patent number: 12271195Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to limiting the use of an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle by particular occupants based on permission data. More specifically, permission data may include destinations, routes, and/or other information that is predefined or set by a third party. The vehicle may then access the permission data in order to transport the particular occupant to the predefined destination, for example, without deviation from the predefined route. The vehicle may drop the particular occupant off at the destination and may wait until the passenger is ready to move to another predefined destination. The permission data may be used to limit the ability of the particular occupant to change the route of the vehicle completely or by some maximum deviation value. For example, the vehicle may be able to deviate from the route up to a particular distance from or along the route.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Waymo LLCInventors: Dmitri A.

Publication number: 20250109745Abstract: A system for cooling plungers which operate in high pressure pumps. The system uses a plunger having a blind bore formed therein. The blind bore may receive a number of different objects, some of which are fixed to the plunger. A heat exchanger may be installed within the blind bore. The heat exchanger may have internal passages or openings which allow for the circulation of fluid within the blind bore, thus cooling the plunger. The heat exchanger may be formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than the material used to form the plunger. This allows the heat exchanger to cool the plunger more effectively than if the plunger were solid or filled with an empty air space. The heat exchanger may be sealed within the bore of the plunger, or exposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2024Publication date: April 3, 2025Inventors: Micheal Cole Thomas, Christopher Todd Barnett, Kelcy Jake Foster, Nicholas Son, John Keith, Guy J.

Publication number: 20250105797Abstract: A power amplifier with analog predistortion is disclosed. In one aspect, a signal in the transmission chain is sampled to determine if a phase distortion (delay or advancement) is present. Information about the sampled signal is provided to a control circuit, which uses an analog predistortion circuit to inject a correction signal into the transmission chain so as to offset or compensate for the phase distortion. In an exemplary aspect, the analog predistortion circuit may use a variable capacitor to generate the correction signal that is injected. This detection and adjustment may be done in the front end of the transmission chain so as to avoid reliance on a baseband processor. Use of such analog predistortion helps maintain desired linear operation over the large bandwidths of emerging wireless communication standards.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Baker Scott, George Maxim, Stephen James Franck, Christopher T. Brown

Publication number: 20250096738Abstract: A power amplifier with analog predistortion is disclosed. In one aspect, a signal in the transmission chain is sampled to determine if an amplitude distortion (expansion or compression) is present. Information about the sampled signal is provided to a control circuit, which uses an analog predistortion circuit to inject a correction signal into the transmission chain so as to offset or compensate for the amplitude distortion. In an exemplary aspect, the analog predistortion circuit adjusts a bias signal provided to the power amplifier. This detection and adjustment may be done in the front end of the transmission chain so as to avoid reliance on a baseband processor. Use of such analog predistortion helps maintain desired linear operation over the large bandwidths of emerging wireless communication standards.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2023Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Baker Scott, George Maxim, Stephen James Franck, Christopher T.
