  • Patent number: 11985050
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for unified data repository selection and parameters that can be associated with such selection are provided. For example, a method can include identifying, by a network element, a capability of a repository to store data applicable to all user equipment devices in a network. The method can further include selecting, by the network element, the repository from a plurality of repositories based on the identified capability.

  • Publication number: 20240012411
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to vehicle teleoperation and systems and methods for an autonomous-ready vehicle. As an example, the described aspects may provide a variety of functionality, including the use of a teleoperation assembly to provide a third-person perspective for vehicle teleoperation, vehicle width fit checking for a set of obstacles and an associated clearance, semi-autonomous clearance navigation, dynamic vehicle standoff adjustment according to a communication latency associated with teleoperation, vehicle contents change detection and notification generation, path navigation with increased granularity based on ground-engaging member paths, autonomous anchoring for increased traction, vehicle configuration according to a determined three-dimensional center of mass, automatic rocking for improved terrain traversal, audio-aware path generation and vehicle routing, and annunciation of vehicle modes to nearby individuals.

  • Patent number: 10473036
    Abstract: A compressor assembly may include a compressor case disposed about an axis. A bleed valve may be disposed about the compressor case to translate axially and/or rotationally relative to the compressor case. A first seal may be disposed in a forward seal housing of the bleed valve a first radial distance from the axis. A first sealing wall may be fixed relative to the compressor case and configured to engage the first seal. A second seal may be disposed in an aft seal housing of the bleed valve at a second radial distance from the axis. The first radial distance may be substantially equal to the second radial distance. A second sealing wall may be fixed relative to the compressor case and configured to engage the second seal.

  • Publication number: 20070084359
    Abstract: The bulk volume of large numbers of loose, separated, multiply bent, irregularly shaped scrap sheet metal is temporarily reduced, for transportation and storage of the metal for recycling purposes, by compressing the metal into temporary, compacted wafers formed of successively compacted layers. The apparatus includes a load chamber which is axially aligned with a compression chamber and a reciprocating ram which passes through the chambers towards an anvil plate which closes the discharge end of the compression chamber. A pre-determined quantity of loose pieces is placed within the load chamber. The reciprocating ram compresses the pieces of that batch into a thin layer. Successive batches are compressed into overlapping layers which are bound together, face-to-face, to form a unitary wafer.
