  • Publication number: 20240077617
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of computer-implemented method of perceiving structure in a point cloud comprises: applying clustering to the point cloud, and thereby identifying at least one moving object cluster within the point cloud, the point cloud comprising time-stamped points captured over a non-zero accumulation window; determining a motion model for the moving object cluster, by fitting one or more parameters of the motion model to the time-stamped points of that cluster; using the motion model to transform the time-stamped points of the moving object cluster to a common reference time; and applying a perception component to the transformed points of the moving object cluster to extract information about structure exhibited in the transformed points.

  • Publication number: 20170240101
    Abstract: A visual indicator assembly and adaptor for a trailer includes a control circuit electrically coupled to a plurality of lamps positioned in a rear header of the trailer. The control circuit is configured to supply a first voltage signal to the plurality of lamps in response to a power signal and supply a second voltage signal to the plurality of lamps in response to a brake signal. The second voltage signal is greater than the first voltage signal.

  • Patent number: 8653957
    Abstract: A visual indicator assembly and adaptor for a trailer includes an control circuit, an input lamp plug electrically coupled to the control circuit, an output lamp plug electrically coupled to the control circuit, and an identification lamp plug electrically coupled to the control circuit. The input lamp plug is connectable to a trailer lamp plug of a lamp wiring harness of the trailer. The output lamp plug is connectable to a stop lamp of the trailer. The identification lamp plug is connectable to a corresponding identification lamp plug of the lamp wiring harness. The control circuit is configured to supply a first voltage signal to a plurality of lamps of the trailer in response to a power signal and supply a second voltage signal to the plurality of lamps in response to a brake signal. The second voltage signal is greater than the first voltage signal.

  • Publication number: 20110260500
    Abstract: A roof assembly for a storage container, such as a truck trailer, includes a sheet having a plurality of laterally-extending corrugations formed therein. Illustratively, each corrugation is configured to progressively flatten outwardly from a longitudinal centerline of the roof assembly towards an outer end of the sheet. The longitudinal centerline of the roof assembly extends perpendicular to each corrugation. The outer end of the sheet is configured to be coupled to a sidewall of the truck trailer.
