Abstract: A portable autonomous vehicle connectivity platform includes a portable case, a local area network (LAN) side adapter, a wide area network (WAN) side adapter, a gateway router, and a controller. The LAN side adapter is communicates with autonomous vehicles (AVs). The WAN side adapter communicates with a remote server. The gateway router bridges communications between the LAN side adapter and the WAN side adapter. The controller is coupled to the gateway router for caching mission log reports received from the AVs and transmitting the mission log reports to the remote server.

Abstract: In one example, an apparatus includes a casing configured to be coupled to a frame of a vehicle at a first end of the casing. The casing comprises friable foam having a first stiffness. The apparatus further includes a void within the casing defined by (i) an inner wall of the casing and (ii) an opening at a second end of the casing. The apparatus further includes an insert positioned within the void, the insert comprising a material having a second stiffness that is different from the first stiffness.

Abstract: Connector receptacles that are simple to assemble, provide good shielding, and consume a reduced or limited amount of space inside a device enclosure. To simplify assembly, these receptacles may include a subassembly that is inserted into a hollow tongue. The subassembly may include a first number of contacts that are insert molded in a first overmold, as well as a second number of contacts that may be inserted into a second overmold. To improve ground shielding, one or more ground contacts at a front of the receptacle may be split to provide shielding in a back of the receptacle. The tongue may further include ground contacts on its edges and top. Edge ground contacts may be inserted into the hollow tongue either separately or with the subassembly. Openings in the hollow tongue may expose portions of the edge ground contacts for grounding.
