  • Publication number: 20240383401
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12105222
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240263370
    Abstract: A method for making a neutral hybrid braided structure may involve positioning a first set of wires on a braiding machine in a first set of positions, positioning a second set of wires on the braiding machine in a second set of positions so that the first set of positions and the second set of positions form a neutral hybrid braiding pattern, and braiding the first set of wires and the second set of wires on the braiding machine to form the neutral hybrid braided structure. Each wire in the first set of wires has a first cross-sectional diameter, and each wire in the second set of wires has a second cross-sectional diameter that is smaller than the first cross-sectional diameter.

  • Publication number: 20210290248
    Abstract: 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.
