Patent number: 11509580Abstract: Source routing techniques include sending data across several networks, while limiting source routing overhead. For example, the source routing techniques may use a first address format to route data to nodes along a routing path that are within a first network where a source node is located, and use a second address format to route the data to a node along the routing path that is within a second, different network. The node in the second network may similarly route the data through the second network using the first address format for nodes within the second network and, if needed, route the data to a node within a third network using the second address format. This may be repeated for any number of networks to reach a destination.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Itron, Inc.Inventors: Viet-Hung Nguyen, Jerome Bartier, James Laurence Taylor

Patent number: 11364901Abstract: A driving support apparatus according to the invention estimates the position of a moving body by controlling a position estimation unit when the tracking-target moving body leaves a first area or a second area to enter a blind spot area and detects the position of the moving body by controlling a position detection unit when the moving body leaves the blind spot area to enter the first area or the second area. In this manner, the trajectory of the tracking-target moving body is calculated so that the trajectory of the moving body detected in the first area or the second area and the trajectory of the moving body estimated in the blind spot area are continuous to each other and driving support is executed based on the calculated trajectory of the tracking-target moving body.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Quy Hung Nguyen Van, Shoichi Hayasaka
