  • Publication number: 20240083448
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for determining when to provide and providing secondary disengage alerts for a vehicle having autonomous and manual driving modes. For instance, while the vehicle is being controlled in the autonomous driving mode, user input is received at one or more user input devices of the vehicle. In response to receiving the user input, the vehicle may be transitioned from the autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode and provide a primary disengage alert to an occupant of the vehicle regarding the transition. Whether to provide a secondary disengage alert may be determined based on at least circumstances of the user input. After the transition, the secondary disengage alert may be provided based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 5120331
    Abstract: A comprehensive gas filtering unit in which the preferred embodiment includes sheet(s) of flexible, coilable, permeable, carbon impregnated fabric that are spirally wound around a center structure is disclosed. Active gas filtering spacers are optionally employed between the adjacent layers of wound fabric to physically separate same, thus creating air flow channel(s). Further, the active filtering spacers promote pneumatic agitation and pressure differentials. The air path typically is shaped to varying patterns including an outward flow perpendicular to or traversing the layers of the filtering fabric; flow through the actively filtering spacers; and parallel flow along the surfaces of the filtering fabric and the actively filtering spacers, with varying combinations of these patterns repeatedly occurring throughout the gas filtering chamber.
