Patent number: 11933895Abstract: A lidar system includes one or more light sources configured to generate a first beam of light and a second beam of light, a scanner configured to scan the first and second beams of light across a field of regard of the lidar system, and a receiver configured to detect the first beam of light and the second beam of light scattered by one or more remote targets. The scanner includes a rotatable polygon mirror that includes multiple reflective surfaces angularly offset from one another along a periphery of the polygon mirror, the reflective surfaces configured to reflect the first and second beams of light to produce a series of scan lines as the polygon mirror rotates. The scanner also includes a pivotable scan mirror configured to (i) reflect the first and second beams of light and (ii) pivot to distribute the scan lines across the field of regard.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Luminar Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jason M.

Publication number: 20240012127Abstract: A circuit comprises a receive processing window formation subsystem, a matched filter subsystem, a keystone interpolation subsystem, a phase modulation subsystem, and an image forming subsystem. The receive processing window formation subsystem forms, for each radar return from a scene, a receive processing window containing the radar return as an unbroken radar return. The matched filter subsystem creates a motion model for a reference point target disposed at a predetermined location within the scene, based on a set of motion compensation parameters for range and range rate, to compensate for at least some effects of fast time Doppler on the reference point target. The keystone interpolation subsystem rescales slow time information from the matched filter subsystem. A phase modulation subsystem applies phase modulations to a keystone-interpolated 2-D output array of information associated with the scene, to ensure proper registration in a range-Doppler map output of the scene.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Raytheon CompanyInventors: James D.

Publication number: 20240014719Abstract: A hairpin conductor includes two wire segments each having respective first and second ends and a respective middle region. The segments are disposed in a side-by-side orientation such that their first ends are proximate each other and their second ends are proximate each other. The first ends are welded to each other and the second ends are welded to each other, or the middle regions are welded to each other, thereby providing a welded wire assembly, which is bent such that the two wire segments are bent equally to form the hairpin conductor. The hairpin conductor has a primary bend in the middle regions to form an apex thereat and first and second secondary bends in the two wire segments nearer to the apex than to the first and second ends to form respective first and second shoulders thereat. A method of forming the hairpin conductor is also presented.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2022Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: John D.

Publication number: 20230315811Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and computer-storage media for developing machine learning technology that is less susceptible to bias problems. A machine learning model may be developed with reduced error attributed to one or more sensitive features by utilizing a loss adjustment weight to determine an adjusted loss function used to train the model. The loss adjustment weight may be determined based on a count of a feature-label combination of a sensitive feature. The adjusted loss function is determined and configured to use the loss adjustment weight when determining loss during model training, and the output of the adjusted loss function is an adjusted loss. The machine learning model may be trained until the adjusted loss satisfies a loss threshold, indicative of an acceptable level of model inaccuracy. Accordingly, present embodiments can provide use case specific tailoring to improve machine learning systems by removing biases associated with certain data features.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Xiaoyu CHAI, Gregory Lawrence BRAKE, Siddharth R.

Publication number: 20230185692Abstract: A class of systems for searching the code of conventional software, programmable hardware like Field Programmable Gate Arrays and Application Specific Integrated Circuits for behaviors of interest. This enables behavioral requirements and testing to be applied and automatically positioned in the code. Five using communities are envisioned for variations on the invention. These are Software Safety Program Administration, developers of software Intellectual Property (IP) modules and hardware IP modules, Systems Integrators of such IP, IP brokers, and Cyber Security Vendors. The usage of the invention by these communities is sufficiently different that there are separate and unique claims specific to the needs of each group.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventor: John D.
