Patents by Inventor Marc Leach

Marc Leach has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11536569
    Abstract: A sensor data processing system for an autonomous vehicle receives inertial measurement unit (IMU) data from one or more IMUs of the autonomous vehicle. Based at least in part on the IMU data, the system identifies an IMU data offset from a deficient IMU of the one or more IMUs, and generates an offset compensation transform to compensate for the IMU data offset from the deficient IMU. The system dynamically executes the offset compensation transform on the IMU data from the deficient IMU to dynamically compensate for the IMU data offset.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20080173107
    Abstract: A sensor assembly for impact detection for use in a motor vehicle including a housing, a pressure transducer sensitive to pressure, and an accelerometer sensitive to acceleration. The pressure transducer and the accelerometer are each attached to the housing and the housing is attached to a location in the vehicle conducive to measuring pressure and acceleration signals corresponding to an impact event. The sensor assembly is configured to provide two independent signals (one for pressure and one for acceleration) to a control unit. The control unit compares both signals to confirm occurrence of the impact event in order to deploy automatic safety devices to protect vehicle occupants while avoiding inadvertent deployment of the safety devices.
