  • Publication number: 20240109585
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining a sideslip vector for a vehicle that may have a direction that is different from that of a heading vector for the vehicle. The sideslip vector in a current vehicle state and sideslip vectors in predicted vehicles states may be used to determine paths for a vehicle through an environment and trajectories for controlling the vehicle through the environment. The sideslip vector may be based on a vehicle position that is the center point of the wheelbase of the vehicle and may include lateral velocity, facilitating the control of four-wheel steered vehicle while maintaining the ability to control two-wheel steered vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11943907
    Abstract: An RF-shielded window apparatus may include a primary panel and a secondary panel. The primary panel may include a primary RF shield layer disposed between a primary backing substrate and a protective layer. The secondary panel may include a secondary backing substrate and a secondary RF shield layer. The first panel element and the second panel element may be secured to one another such that the primary RF shield layer, the secondary RF shield layer and the protective layer are collectively disposed between the primary backing substrate and the secondary backing substrate. The primary RF shield layer and the secondary RF shield layer may be in electrically-conductive communication with one another. A panel joining strip may help secure the first panel to the second panel, and the electrically-conductive communication may be at least in part by way of the panel joining strip. Associated manufacturing methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230147955
    Abstract: A system and method for liquefying a hydrogen gas feed stream uses a high-pressure hydrogen stream from a storage source to provide refrigeration to the system. After providing refrigeration to the system, the hydrogen from the high-pressure storage source is at a pressure not lower than the pressure of a cold box feed stream of the system, where the cold box feed stream includes the hydrogen gas feed stream and at least one recycle stream, and is not recycled back through the system but instead exits the system.

  • Publication number: 20210310285
    Abstract: A water-tight sealing system for a bathtub door may include, but is not limited to, an opening in a side of a bathtub. A door may be coupled to the bathtub and configured to close the bathtub side. Magnetic elements may be positioned on one of a periphery of a door and a periphery of the bathtub side and corresponding metallic elements may be positioned on the other of the periphery of the door and the periphery of the bathtub side. One or more compressible seals may be positioned along the periphery of the door and against the magnetic elements such that the compressible seals are compressed between the magnetic elements and the corresponding metallic elements when the door is closed. Magnetic attraction between the magnetic elements and the corresponding metallic elements may compress the compressible seals to form a water-tight seal between the door and the bathtub.
