Publication number: 20240383401Abstract: A method of detecting and warning an operator of an off-road vehicle of objects in limited-visibility environments. The method includes: detecting a potentially-hazardous object within the vicinity of the vehicle, using a sensor of the vehicle; transmitting data relating to the potentially-hazardous object to a vehicle processor; determining whether the potentially-hazardous object is in a projected path of the vehicle or in a proximity zone of the vehicle; and alerting the operator of the vehicle to the presence and location of the potentially-hazardous object when the potentially-hazardous object is in the projected path of the vehicle or in the proximity zone of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2024Publication date: November 21, 2024Inventors: Aidan Shaughnessy, Eric Fuchs, Forrest Johnson, Chiao George Liu, Scott Taylor, Timothy Norstad, Eric Ross, Kevin Dunn, Jonathon Graus, Brian Krosschell, Benjamin Betcher, Jon Hetland, Joseph Bauer, Vinay Shirodkar

Patent number: 12105222Abstract: Systems and methods for imaging and ranging sensors that sense objects around a vehicle. In one example, a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor including a plurality of microelectromechanical (MEMS) mirrors may be operated such that a functional field of view of the LIDAR sensor is adjusted by changing a number of MEMS mirrors that are operated to scan an external environment surrounding the vehicle. For example, one or more mirrors may be turned on or off depending on an intended vehicle path. In some examples, while all the MEMS mirrors are operated, overall processing of data may be reduced by using data acquired from the number of mirrors that scan the desired field of view.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: HARMAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INCORPORATEDInventors: Kevin Dunn, Dan DeClerck

Publication number: 20210290248Abstract: This application describes various embodiments of an expandable device that includes at least one support member. The support member (or members) is integrated into the structure of the expandable device and increases its column strength, which thus augments pushability of the expanding device through a delivery catheter. The support member allows force applied while pushing from the proximal end of the expandable device to be translated to the distal end of the device and therefore avoid bunching or deformation without increasing the profile of the device to a degree that would prohibit passage through a lumen of a specific required size. Thus, the expandable devices described herein address at least some of the shortcomings discussed above.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: John Oslund, Pat Russo, Kevin Dunne
