  • Flap arrangement for a turbine of an exhaust-gas turbocharger
    Patent number: 11781472
    Abstract: A flap arrangement 10 for a turbine 2 of an exhaust-gas turbocharger 2, is disclosed, in particular for a wastegate valve of the turbine, having a spindle 100 for rotatable mounting of the flap arrangement 10 in a turbine housing 3, a lever arm 200 coupled to the spindle 100, and a flap plate 300 coupled to the lever arm 200. The flap plate 300 has a flexible part 330 in a radially outer region of the flap plate 300, such that by applying a closing force to the flap arrangement 10 when the flap plate 300 is in contact with a flap seat 500 in the turbine housing 3, elastic and/or plastic deformation of the flexible part 330 of the flap plate 300 can be caused to compensate for thermal deformation of the turbine housing 3, exhaust deposits and/or wear.

  • Landing pad for autonomous vehicles
    Patent number: 11718319
    Abstract: Each of a plurality of landing pads is sized and shaped to accommodate an AV. Landing pad sensor(s) are located in or around each landing pad. A control subsystem receives landing pad sensor data from the one or more landing pad sensors and receives, from a first AV traveling to a location of the plurality of landing pads, a request for an assigned landing pad in which the first AV should park. In response to this request, the control subsystem determines, based on the received landing pad sensor data, whether a first landing pad is free of obstructions that would prevent receipt of the first AV. If the first landing pad is free of obstructions, an indication is provided to the AV that the first landing pad is the assigned landing pad.

  • Ultra-low noise cryogenic microwave amplification
    Patent number: 11677206
    Abstract: Embodiments of the microwave amplification system are described. In an embodiment, a microwave amplification system includes a microwave amplifier that contains a paramagnetic material with an impurity. The impurity has a plurality of nuclear spin and electron spin-based energy levels. The system includes an input to receive a pumping signal which is transmitted to the microwave amplifier to cause a population inversion in the impurity and excite it to one of the nuclear spin and electron spin-based energy levels. The system further includes another input to receive an input signal to be amplified by the microwave amplifier, the input signal having a lower power than the pumping signal. Once transmitted to the microwave amplifier, the input signal is amplified by the excited state of the impurity in the microwave amplifier thereby generating an amplified signal.
