  • Patent number: 11915440
    Abstract: Motion and video data from vehicle sensors and camera arrays attached to a vehicle collect video and sensor data along a path driven by the vehicle. A system processes such data to produce high-accuracy structured map data, as might be used to precisely locate a moving vehicle in its environment. Positions are calculated from the sensor data. The positions are updated based on the video data. Positions of features in the video are used to create or update structured map data.

  • Publication number: 20080185413
    Abstract: A belt comprising an exterior layer having at least a portion thereof fabricated from an elastic material. A honeycomb structure sized and configured to receive a plurality of paintball pods is attached to an inner surface of the exterior layer. The honey comb structure is disposed between the exterior layer and the waist of the user when the belt is worn by the user. When paintball pods are removed or inserted into the honeycomb structure, the elastic portion of the exterior layer expands or contracts accordingly such that pressure is applied on the paintball pods against the lower body of the user so as to securely hold the paintball pods against the body of the user.

  • Publication number: 20080179369
    Abstract: An improved paintball pod belt is provided. The belt provides a means for urging the pod compartments upwards and adjacent to the lower back of the user despite strenuous physical maneuvers performed by the user. The belt further includes a means for providing an easily accessible handle for peeling a closure flap off of a middle portion of a pod compartment to remove or insert a paintball pod from or into the pod compartment. The belt may further include a means for reducing a side profile of the pod compartment to reduce the likelihood of being hit by a paintball on the empty pod compartment. The belt may further include a means for clipping the paintball pod into the pod compartment.
