Patent number: 11979131Abstract: A Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter that reduces the complexity of the hardware required for a filter with a high decimation factor while achieving similar performance of prior art poly-phase filters of greater complexity. The FIR filter includes a small number of multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) units connected in parallel to each other between an input stream and an output stream. The MAC units are provided with coefficients from a memory. In an example implementation, the memory is addressed by a counter and the output of the memory selected by a multiplexer for suppling the coefficients.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Hughes Network Systems, LLC.Inventors: Santharam Gurumani, James Patrick Lykins, Bala Subramaniam

Patent number: 11975737Abstract: This provides locations for mounting controllers and processing components that effectively employ the roof within a frame covered by a cowling so as to avoid exposure to weather and the environment. The roof is also employed to provide a sensor bar that extends across the vehicle width for a distance that does not interfere with normal vehicle function or generate potential overhangs, which can inadvertently engage objects or vehicles. The bar is sufficient in size and shape so as to allow mounting of a plurality of types of sensors on its top surface and/or recessed within front or rear edges. Such sensors can include visual light cameras for machine vison processes and/or LIDAR of various types and cooperage areas/fields of view—some of which can be recessed within a hollow region of the bar. Additional sensors can be mounted on the truck cab and/or chassis, including visual-light cameras and radars.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Outrider Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gary Michael Seminara, James Christopher McKenna, Michael Patrick Cutter, Jonathan Record, Dale Dee Rowley, Keith Massie, Alexander Fink, Critt Coburn, Gary Mckinney, Lawrence S.

Patent number: 11961259Abstract: The calibration system of the farming machine receives images from each camera of the camera array. The images comprise visual information representing a view of a portion of an area surrounding the farming machine. To calibrate a pair of cameras including a first camera and second camera, the calibration system determines a relative pose between the pair of cameras by extracting relative position and orientation characteristics from visual information in both an image received from the first camera and an image received from the second camera. The calibration system identifies a calibration error for the pair of cameras based on a comparison of the relative pose with an expected pose between the first pair of cameras. The calibration system transmits a notification to an operator of the farming machine that describes the calibration error and instructions for remedying the calibration error.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: BLUE RIVER TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventors: James Patrick Ostrowski, John William Peake, Jacqueline Gao Song

Publication number: 20240119939Abstract: A method includes providing audio signals of an interaction between a plurality of human speakers, the speakers speaking into electronic devices to record the audio signals. The audio signals, which are optionally combined, include agent audio and subject audio. The method further includes automatically processing the audio signals to generate a speaker separated natural language transcript of the interaction from the audio signals. For each identified question, a subject response is identified. From the agent text, it is determined whether the question asked by the at least one agent is an open question or a closed question. A decision engine is used to determine the veracity of the subject response and the subject response is flagged if the indicia of the likelihood of deception in the subject response exceeds a predetermined value.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: James LAIRD, Nigel CANNINGS, Cornelius Patrick GLACKIN, Julie Ann WALL, Nikesh BAJAJ

Patent number: 11949406Abstract: A driver can be configured to provide sensed phase currents as feedback to a controller to indicate the output currents from each phase of a switch mode power supply (SMPS). The driver can be configured to temperature compensate the sensed currents in one of two ways. If a temperature sensor is directly coupled to the driver, then the driver may be configured to temperature compensate the sensed currents from each phase based on a temperature measurement made by the temperature sensor. If a temperature sensor is not directly coupled to the driver, then the driver may be configured to temperature compensate the sensed current from each phase based on a temperature signal received from a bus coupled to the driver. The bus can communicate the temperature signal so that multiple drivers can utilize one temperature sensor.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Paul J.
