Publication number: 20240127355Abstract: Methods and systems for maintaining and building an autonomous vehicle-related event blockchain are provided. One or more processors may receive indications of autonomous vehicle events. The autonomous vehicle events may include information relating to technology usage and/or operational events. The autonomous vehicle events may be compiled into a log of recorded autonomous vehicle events. Based upon the autonomous vehicle events, an action to implement may be determined. Additionally, the log may be distributed to a public or private network of distributed nodes to form a consensus on an update to the log of record autonomous vehicle events. As a result, the distributed nodes may maintain an up-to-date record of the shared ledger of autonomous vehicle events.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Matthew L. Floyd, Alvin Hon-Wai Yu, Antwuan Murphy, Brittney Benzio, Lindsi Brantley, Matthew S. Delaney, Matthew Vulich, Matthew S. Rodriguez, Neha Goel, Sabrina Collins, Annie Pudlo Murillo

Patent number: 11853085Abstract: An actuator for a pilot valve, including a housing, a piston movably mounted in the housing and an actuator chamber defined between the piston and the housing. The actuator includes a control fluid feed for introducing a fluid into the actuator chamber to control fluid pressure, with the fluid pressure acting on the piston. The actuator also includes an actuation member for acting on the pilot valve and a loading spring between the piston and the actuation member. The loading spring is arranged to bias the piston against the fluid pressure in the actuator chamber. The control fluid feed controls the fluid pressure so the fluid pressure acts on the piston against the bias of the loading spring to control the biasing force.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: OFIP LIMITEDInventor: Matthew Collins

Patent number: 11816626Abstract: Various embodiments provide systems and methods for facilitating synchronized delivery of shipments/items scheduled to be delivered to multiple serviceable points located nearby one another. Various embodiments identify nearby serviceable points based on an identification of serviceable points being located along a common street segment. Accordingly, serviceable point data identifying corresponding street segment identifiers are stored for a plurality of serviceable points. Thereafter, shipping data for a first shipment to be delivered to a first serviceable point is received, and a determination is made whether a second shipment scheduled to be delivered to a second serviceable point is available for synchronized delivery with the first shipment. The determination comprises determining whether the street segment corresponding to the first serviceable point is the same as and/or is connected to the street segment corresponding to the second serviceable point.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: UNITED PARCEL SERVICE OF AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Chris Bolton, Steven D.

Publication number: 20230323971Abstract: A fluid-flow control device includes a valve aperture and a mounting member arranged downstream of the aperture. A valve member, movably mounted on the mounting member, controls the flow of fluid through the aperture. A control volume, defined between the mounting member and the valve member receives a control fluid from a control fluid feed. A variable flow restrictor is rotatably arranged within a restriction volume of the control fluid feed such that a flow path connecting the inlet, and the outlet, of the restriction volume is defined between the restrictor and the wall of the restriction volume. The restrictor is axi-symmetric about its axis of rotation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2021Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Matthew Collins, Antony Houghton
