Abstract: A system determines an object-design for a three-dimensional model of an object. The object-design may exhibit a design continuity. The system breaks the object-design in to spatial patterns corresponding to the discrete surfaces making up the outward surface of the object. The system then generates flattened patterns by projecting the spatial patterns into a two-dimensional plane. The system prints the flattened patterns on to designated regions of material sheets in an orientation that preserves the design continuity of the object-design. The regions may be extracted from the sheets and then joined at their edges to form a cover for object that exhibits the continuity of the object design.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for communicating between distributed automotive sensors, including radar sensors, wherein sensors transmit a synchronization (SYNC) signal, each SYNC signal transmitted via a substantially equal-length fiber optic link corresponding with each sensor. A central node receives the SYNC signals via the fiber optic links corresponding with each of the sensors and determines a master SYNC signal based on the received SYNC signals. The central node then transmits the master SYNC signal via the fiber optic links to the sensors, which receive the master SYNC signal and transmit, via fiber optic link, sensor data synchronized in accordance with the master SYNC signal. The synchronized sensor data are received at the central node and coherently aggregated, and transmitted to a compute node for post-processing. For radar data, the post-processing may include determination of an angular position of an object within detection range of at least two radar sensors.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for radar or LIDAR measurement are presented. Some configurations include transmitting, via a transceiver, a first beam having a first frequency characteristic; calculating a distance between the transceiver and a moving object based on information from at least one reflection of the first beam; transmitting, via the transceiver, a second beam having a second frequency characteristic that is different than the first frequency characteristic, wherein the second beam is directed such that an axis of the second beam intersects a ground plane; and calculating an ego-velocity of the transceiver based on information from at least one reflection of the second beam. Applications relating to road vehicular (e.g., automobile) use are described.
