Publication number: 20240109585Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining a sideslip vector for a vehicle that may have a direction that is different from that of a heading vector for the vehicle. The sideslip vector in a current vehicle state and sideslip vectors in predicted vehicles states may be used to determine paths for a vehicle through an environment and trajectories for controlling the vehicle through the environment. The sideslip vector may be based on a vehicle position that is the center point of the wheelbase of the vehicle and may include lateral velocity, facilitating the control of four-wheel steered vehicle while maintaining the ability to control two-wheel steered vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Joseph Funke, Liam Gallagher, Marin Kobilarov, Vincent Andreas Laurense, Mark Jonathon McClelland, Sriram Narayanan, Kazuhide Okamoto, Jack Riley, Jeremy Schwartz, Jacob Patrick Thalman, Olivier Amaury Toupet, David Evan Zlotnik

Patent number: 8607426Abstract: A method and apparatus for automated valve spring assembly includes a head assembly with elongated passageways that movably support a pair of retainer keys. A pair of control members selectively close off the passageways. The head assembly further includes a moveable divider plate and a pair of jaws. A push member or rod closes off the passageways by shifting the control members upon movement of the pushrod. The pushrod also slides the retainer keys such that the retainer keys contact tapered inner surfaces of the jaws and rotate the jaws outwardly. The retainer keys are thereby axially positioned relative to the end of a valve stem. The retainer plate is then retracted, and the jaws shift inwardly and push or position the retainer keys on the valve stem.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: Air Way Automation, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Paul Coggins, John Eric Ammond, Jack Patrick Moran, Jr.
