Publication number: 20230351197Abstract: Provided are a robotic device and a method for identifying a property of an object. The method may include obtaining sensor data from at least one sensor, identifying, using the sensor data, a property of interest of an object, training, using one or more neural networks, a model to predict the uncertainty about the next state of the object based on an action, and based on identifying the uncertainty about the next state of the object, controlling a movement of a robotic element to perform the action.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO,LTD.Inventors: Jean-Francois TREMBLAY, Francois Robert HOGAN, David Paul MEGER, Gregory Lewis DUDEK

Publication number: 20230204792Abstract: For assisted satellite time and location (STL) in low earth orbit (LEO) and/or burst transmission-based STL, assistance is provided. Ephemeris information is provided to receivers of signals from LEO satellites, allowing the receivers to operate better in PNT based on the signals from the LEO satellites. Other information may be used to assist, such as terrestrial-based time and/or location of the receiver. For burst transmissions, the data (e.g., spread code) used for some or all the burst transmission is provided to the receiver, which may then replicate the signal. This replica signal assists in PNT based on the signals from the satellites transmitting the burst signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2021Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: DAVID G. LAWRENCE, H. STEWART COBB, GREGORY GUTT, MICHAEL L. O'CONNOR, FRANCOIS TREMBLAY

Publication number: 20230194727Abstract: For global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-independent operation of auxiliary PNT systems, one or more ground stations of the auxiliary system have access to a non-GNSS source of precision timing. That source and known locations of the ground stations may be used to derive timing corrections to account for imperfect clocks in the satellites for non-purpose-built satellite systems being used for PNT. Crosslinks between satellites and/or propagation of timing correction through other ground stations are used to better control the timing and resulting precession of PNT in the PNT auxiliary system. The timing correction may be provided as a service to end users, other constellations, and/or other satellite operators.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2021Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: H. STEWART COBB, MARK HARGROVE, JERRY GOETSCH, GREGORY GUTT, DAN HIGGINS, PETE JOHNSON, TREVOR LANDON, DAVID G. LAWRENCE, MICHAEL L. O'CONNOR, MARK PEDERSEN, RACHEL SCHMALZRIED, FRANCOIS TREMBLAY

Patent number: 11247418Abstract: A device for producing a curved fiber preform from a bi- or multidirectional fiber semi-finished product, in particular for an aircraft or spacecraft fuselage component has first lamellae and second lamellae formed to be couplable to one another criss-cross such that they are positioned on a shared plane and thus form a grid. The lamellae at least in part are formed resiliently bendable about an axis intersecting the shared plane such that a local orientation of the lamellae in the grid changes. An adhesion device or structure is formed for temporarily adhering the fiber semi-finished product and is configured such that the local fiber orientation of the fiber semi-finished product also changes accordingly when the lamellae bend.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2018Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: Premium Aerotec GmbHInventors: Julian Kuntz, Ralph Männich, Enzo de Santis Mühlberger, Francois Tremblay, Margarita Wanner, Christoph Stehncken

Publication number: 20190358809Abstract: An exoskeleton designed to be worn by a user is generally configured to support and transfer the load supported by the head, the neck and/or the torso (shoulders, chest and/or back) of the user down to the ground. The exoskeleton is generally passive and includes at least three interconnected sections: torso, hip, and leg sections. Each of the sections generally includes of a plurality of interconnected rigid members which form the load-bearing structure of the exoskeleton. When a user wears the exoskeleton, load normally carried by the head, neck and/or torso of the user is at least partially supported and transferred to the ground by the exoskeleton, thereby reducing the load effectively supported by the user itself. The leg sections of the exoskeleton are designed to ensure that the load is entirely transferred to the inner side of the feet, in accordance with human biomechanics.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Applicant: Mawashi Protective Clothing IncInventors: Alain Bujold, Jean-Marc Sheitoyan, François Tremblay, Patrice Paquette, Aleksander Pohl, Simon Forget, Anis Ouanes, Alain Vary
