  • Patent number: 12077087
    Abstract: A system for delivering packages from a warehouse to end destinations, the system comprising a fleet of self-propelled long-range transports and a fleet of containers, each configured to be loaded at the warehouse with packages destined for end destinations. Each long-range transport is configured to be loaded with at least four of the loaded containers and transport the at least four of the loaded containers from the warehouse to one or more intermediate destinations. Upon arrival of one of the loaded long-range transports at one of the one or more intermediate destinations, at least one of the loaded containers is separated from the loaded long-range transport, whereupon the separated container delivers packages to end destinations proximate to the one of the one or more intermediate destinations. After delivery of at least some of the packages loaded thereon at the warehouse, the container is once again loaded on the long-range transport and returned to the warehouse to be loaded with more packages.

  • Patent number: 12072997
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a build request containing build step instructions from a user. The build step instructions specify a usage of containers within memory hardware for building an output container. The containers include at least one private container having private contents and/or at least one public container having public contents. The method also includes authenticating the user initiating the build request and determining whether the user is authorized to access the private containers. When the user is authenticated and authorized to access the private containers, the method includes obtaining the containers specified by the build step instructions from the memory hardware, executing the build step instructions to build the output container while using the received containers, and outputting the built output container.

  • Patent number: 12032063
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for configuring architectures for a sensor, and more particularly for light detection and ranging (hereinafter, “LIDAR”) systems based on ASIC sensor architectures supporting autonomous navigation systems. Effective ASIC sensor architecture can enable an improved correlation between sensor data as well as configurability and responsiveness of the system to its surrounding environment and avoid any unnecessary delay within the decision-making process that may result in a failure of the autonomous driving system. It may be essential to integrated multiple functions within an electronic module and implement the functionality with one or more ASICs.

  • Publication number: 20240210361
    Abstract: A compact portable ultrasonic inspection apparatus and method of non-destructive inspection of an object. A probe of the apparatus has a stationary cavity frame assembly with an agile ultrasound stylus, being a transducer and an acoustic coupling member, located therein and on which a motion system induces random or controlled motion of the stylus, to pivot the transducer about a point where the coupling member contacts a surface to be inspected. Three landing elements surround the coupling member, configured to hold the frame assembly to the surface. A sequence of oblique angle ultrasound measurements collected at measured transducer orientations generate polar scans of backscattered acoustic energy from within the object and automatically derive geometric measurements and/or ascertain internal health-condition information about the object. The apparatus finds application in-situ non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection of anisotropic or composite materials used in safety-critical objects or structures.

  • Patent number: 11987950
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of forming two or more waving rip lines across a sloping surface, wherein the rip lines are formed at substantially right angles to the downward direction of the sloping surface and have a plurality of peaks and troughs. The troughs form catchment areas for water and the peaks separate the troughs limiting the amount of water stored in the catchment areas. Each of the rip lines can be substantially parallel with each other or offset relative to an adjacent rip line. The plurality of waving rip lines contribute to the stability of the landform, long term conservation and maintenance of the landform, and thereby encourage establishment and growth of vegetation in the remediation process.
