Publication number: 20240137977Abstract: Techniques for using a shared channel in data communications networks include observing at a local node, during a frame of multiple transmission slots, packets transmitted. Based on the packets, a node identifier and transmission slot are determined for each node in a contention set. A priority for each node in the contention set is determined based on the identifier. When the local node is new to the shared channel, a transmission key is determined for the local node, which indicates a subset of transmission slots in the frame based on the identifier for the local node. When the local node is still new, it transmits a packet only when a current transmission slot is indicated by the transmission key. If not new and with carrier sensing, transmission is delayed even when the priority for the local node in the current time slot is greater than any other.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Jose Joaquin Garcia-Luna-Aceves, Dylan J. Cirimelli-Low

Publication number: 20230356961Abstract: A method of automatically moving a dolly apparatus from an initial location to a downstream location is provided. The method includes engaging a component being carried along an elevated conveyor with a synchronization arm of a dolly apparatus such that the dolly apparatus moves with the component. The dolly apparatus includes a base frame and an actuation member movably mounted to the base frame. A synchronization arm is movably mounted to a top of the base frame. The actuation member is operatively connected to the synchronization arm such that actuating the actuation member lowers the synchronization arm to a disengaged position. The actuation member is actuated thereby lowering the synchronization arm to a disengaged position and releasing the component.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2022Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicants: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Scottie L.

Publication number: 20230347955Abstract: A delivery dolly includes a carousel that is rotatably mounted on a support column. The carousel includes a recess on an underside of the carousel. A locking mechanism is biased toward a locked position. The locking mechanism includes a locking wheel on which the carousel rotates until the carousel reaches a preselected angular position. The recess aligns with the locking wheel at the preselected angular position and, due to a bias force, the locking wheel extends into the recess to inhibit rotation of the carousel until the carousel is spun manually, forcing the carousel to rotate and the locking wheel to retract until the locking wheel encounters the recess again.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicants: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Scottie L.

Patent number: 11787691Abstract: The present invention provides methods for uniform growth of nanostructures such as nanotubes (e.g., carbon nanotubes) on the surface of a substrate, wherein the long axes of the nanostructures may be substantially aligned. The nanostructures may be further processed for use in various applications, such as composite materials. For example, a set of aligned nanostructures may be formed and transferred, either in bulk or to another surface, to another material to enhance the properties of the material. In some cases, the nanostructures may enhance the mechanical properties of a material, for example, providing mechanical reinforcement at an interface between two materials or plies. In some cases, the nanostructures may enhance thermal and/or electronic properties of a material. The present invention also provides systems and methods for growth of nanostructures, including batch processes and continuous processes.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2019Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Anastasios John Hart, Brian L.
