Abstract: Navigation systems and methods for autonomous vehicles are provided. The navigation system may include multiple navigation subsystems, including one having an inertial measurement unit (IMU). That unit may serve as the primary unit for navigation purposes, with other navigation subsystems being treated as secondary. The other navigation subsystems may include global positioning system (GPS) sensors, and perception sensors. In some embodiments, the navigation system may include a first filter for the IMU sensor and separate filters for the other navigation subsystems.

Abstract: A video display system may include a video display including a plurality of video display modules, a truss supporting the video display, a lower portion of the truss anchored to a floor, and the lower portion may be coupled to the video display at a position between the terminal sides of the video display and may extend approximately one-third of the length of the video display. The video display system may include a upper portion of the truss above the lower portion and anchored to a ceiling, wherein the upper portion may be coupled to the video display at a position between the terminal sides of the video display and may extend approximately one-third of the length of the video display.

Abstract: A method of producing an offer package includes defining, within the offer package, a description of an offered product. The cost of the offered product and the merchant making the offer are also defined within the offer package, which includes an encrypted version of the offered product.

Abstract: Electronics packages are provided with structure that provides a significantly-reduced package footprint and also facilitates substantial reduction of package fabrication time and cost. The footprint reduction is realized with a frame that defines an aperture wall which surrounds first sets of components on the first side of a printed circuit board and also extends away from the printed circuit board to provide package input/output access along the perimeter of the package footprint. The second side of the printed circuit board receives a second set of components and this set is protected by a board fill. The frame and printed circuit board are configured for realization from frame and board panels whose planar forms substantially reduce package fabrication time and cost because they facilitate the use of modern high-speed printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication processes.

Abstract: Patch assemblies for use in patching holes in a paper web includes a recyclable paper patch which is adapted to be stripped from a release coated carrier and adhesively secured to the paper web over a hole so that the area over the hole is free of exposed adhesive.

Abstract: Systems are described involving (i) a plurality of columns disposed around the object to be lifted, each column having a rack extending longitudinally along one side thereof (ii) means for carrying the object (iii) means keeping the columns upright during lifting and supporting operations (iv) means at the base of the columns to keep them from sinking in the terrain (v) a jacking system on each column and connected to (ii) so that the object can be raised in step-by-step fashion by means of a rack and pawl system and (vi) driving means to operate the jacking systems either in unison or individually as desired. Building modules or the like are raised and held in place by the system while a permanent supporting structure is placed, erected or constructed thereunder.
