Patent number: 11945170Abstract: Described herein are electrochemical-additive manufacturing methods and systems using such methods. A method comprises depositing a material onto a deposition electrode by flowing a current between that deposition electrode and each of multiple individually-addressable electrodes, forming an electrode array. These currents are independently controlled based on a target map and using deposition control circuits, each coupled to one individually-addressable electrode. The target map is generated by a system controller based on various characteristics of the system (e.g., the performance of each deposition control circuit and/or individually-addressable electrode, electrolyte composition) and the desired characteristics of the deposited material (e.g., deposition location, uniformity, morphology). Furthermore, when the deposition electrode and the electrode array move relative to each other, the system controller dynamically updates the target map based on their relative positions.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Fabric8Labs, Inc.Inventors: David Pain, Kareemullah Shaik, Joshua Gillespie, Jeffrey Herman

Patent number: 11490029Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) flicker mitigation system disposed on a vehicle captures multiple images of an exterior scene to determine whether a light that appears to be off is actually off, or whether the state of the light is actually on but erroneously shown in the system image captures as off due to temporal aliasing. The LED flicker mitigation system may obtain information from external infrastructure and contact other vehicles proximate to the captured scene to determine the true state of the LED light source by identifying homography using the vehicle image captures, infrastructure information, and vehicle sensors. The images may be shared amongst the vehicles to correctly determine the LED status and correct any erroneous LED state information.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventor: David Herman

Patent number: 11490023Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to mitigating light-emitting diode (LED) imaging artifacts in an imaging system of a vehicle. In an example embodiment, the imaging system includes a first camera that operates under control of a first pulse trigger sequence, and a second camera that operates under control of a second pulse trigger sequence. The second pulse trigger sequence has a temporal offset with respect to the first pulse trigger sequence. The first camera captures an image of a light source, such as a traffic light containing LEDs. This image may contain an LED imaging artifact indicating that the traffic light is off. The second camera also captures an image of the light source. The temporal offset of the second pulse trigger sequence may eliminate the LED imaging artifact in the second image. A controller may compare the two images and determine that the traffic light is actually on.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventor: David Herman
