Publication number: 20250145509Abstract: A mobile processing system is disclosed for the removal of radioactive contaminants from nuclear process wastewater. The system is fully scalable, modular, and portable allowing the system to be fully customizable according to site-specific remediation requirements. It is designed to be both transported and operated from standard sized intermodal containers or custom designed enclosures for increased mobility between sites and on-site, further increasing the speed and ease with which the system may be deployed. Additionally, the system is completely modular wherein the various modules perform different forms or stages of wastewater remediation and may be connected in parallel and/or in series. Depending on the needs of the site, one or more different processes may be used. In some embodiments, one or more of the same modules may be used in the same operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2025Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: John Raymont, James Fredrickson, Joshua Leighton Mertz, David Carlson, Mark Denton, Gary Hofferber, Ja-Kael Luey, Zechariah James Fitzgerald, Ronald Merritt Orme, Eric Vincent Penland

Publication number: 20240219905Abstract: Autonomous vehicles may encounter situations prompting the autonomous vehicle to execute a stopping maneuver, or receive user input from a passenger of the autonomous vehicle that may cause the autonomous vehicle to execute a stopping maneuver (that is not part of nominal planning of the present mission of the autonomous vehicle). In some cases, the autonomous vehicle's mission may be interrupted. Such situations and user input may be diverse. Also, there may be many kinds of stopping maneuvers that the autonomous vehicle can execute in response to the situation or user input. Monitoring for the situations and user input, managing mission interruptions, and performing continuation of a mission can be non-trivial tasks to perform gracefully and effectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2023Publication date: July 4, 2024Applicant: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Spyros Maniatopoulos, Andrew Robinson, Ashish Bhatnagar, Joshua Leighton

Publication number: 20240101129Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for a sensor synchronization system. In some aspects, a method includes synchronizing sensors of an autonomous vehicle (AV) to cause sampling of a first sensor of the sensors to occur in alignment with sampling of a second sensor of the sensors; determining a sampling time point for the first sensor based on the synchronizing the sensors, the sampling time point comprising a time when the first sensor is in alignment with the second sensor; providing the sampling time point to the first sensor; determining, at a controller circuit of the first sensor, an offset of the first sensor to apply to a local system time of the first sensor to cause a data acquisition of the first sensor to occur at the sampling time point; and causing the data acquisition to be performed at the first sensor using the sampling time point and the offset.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: GM CRUISE HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Matthew Fornero, Gregory Kehoe, Joshua Leighton, Shane McGuire
