  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZED TRAFFIC FLOW THROUGH INTERSECTIONS WITH CONDITIONAL CONVOYING BASED ON PATH NETWORK ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20240152148
    Abstract: A system and method are provided that enable improved or optimized traffic flow through intersections with conditional convoying based on path network analysis. In some embodiments, the system and/or method comprise: an autonomous first agent traveling along a first path through an intersection; an autonomous second agent traveling along a second path; and at least one processor configured to selectively grant or deny the second agent access to the intersection based, at least in part, on the first agent's travel relative to the intersection.

  • Flex member actuator
    Patent number: 10754123
    Abstract: A camera system with an autofocus actuator with flex members is provided for actuating the lens of the camera. A set of flex members reside on opposite sides of a lens assembly with a lens. The flex members suspend the lens assembly within the frame of the camera. The flex members may be made of a material with a flexural modulus and ducts to enhance the flexural modulus. The flex members are optimized to provide linear movement of the lens assembly with limited lateral movement. The camera may further include a shuttle driver to move the lens of the camera and actuate a flex in the flex members.
