Patent number: 11255693Abstract: Technologies for intelligent traffic optimization include a directional flow server that receives dynamic traffic data from traffic infrastructure devices in a monitored region. The traffic data may include traffic volume data and traffic control status data. The server updates a dynamic layer of a high-definition map based on the dynamic traffic data. The high-definition map also includes a static layer and a directional flow layer. The server optimizes the directional flow in response to updating the dynamic layer. The directional flow layer is indicative of traffic direction associated with roads in the monitored region. The server may optimize each of several sub-regions and then optimize connection roads between the regions. The server may distribute the optimized directional flow layer to consumers such as traffic control devices, autonomous vehicles, and other subscribing devices. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Mehrnaz Khodam Hazrati, Ignacio Alvarez, Domingo Gonzalez, Christopher Lopez-Araiza

Patent number: 9994427Abstract: A safety chain for conveyor pallets may comprise bent links arranged in alternating fashion with straight links. Each of the bent links may have two ends with a wheel disposed at each end. Each consecutive bent link and straight link may be joined at an articulation point. The safety chain may also comprise arms extending from each articulation point, wherein a conveyor pallet may be coupled to each arm. Further, roller guides that follow a trajectory of the safety chain may be arranged on one of two sides of the safety chain. The roller guides may rotate the wheels of the bent links. The articulation points enable rotation and position change of the bent links and the straight links so as to increase or decrease a distance between consecutive conveyor pallets according to a change of speed of a conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP ELEVATOR INNOVATION CENTER S.A.Inventors: Miguel Angel Gonzalez Alemany, Juan Domingo Gonzalez Pantiga, José Mendiolagoitia Juliana, Francisco Palomero Cocho, Aurelio Castaño Lantero, Eduardo Moran Garcia, Pedro Ros Zuazua
