  • Patent number: 11501491
    Abstract: Described herein is a process and system for constructing three-dimensional (3D) representations of roof structures. The system can create representations of roof structures of arbitrary complexity and can create representations of dependent roof structures such as dormers. The system can create representations of roof structures that conventional methods cannot create, such as roofs with edges that are not coplanar, roofs with faces that do not connect to exterior edges, roofs composed of sub-structures, or roofs with dependent structures such as dormers.

  • Patent number: 11483214
    Abstract: System and method are disclosed for enabling data synchronization with different cloud service providers. Semantics of provide data from the cloud service providers may be determined and captured in a data object—i.e. a provider data object. The provider data object may then be instantiated for individual cloud service providers for synchronizing data with a given cloud service provider. Provider data can be received from the given cloud service provider can be processed using the instance of the provider data object. Specific provider information can then be extracted from the received provider data according the semantics defined in the instance of the provider data object. The extracted provider information can then compared with provider information already stored in a database. When one or more differences are detected between the two, the received provider information can be saved to the database.

  • Patent number: 11476584
    Abstract: An apparatus for an antenna assembly, which can be used for a mobile application such as on an aircraft, can include a housing defining an interior. A first antenna, such as a WAAS GPS antenna, can mount within the interior to operate at a first frequency. A second antenna, such as an L-band monopole antenna, can mount within the interior of the housing. A trap coupled to the second antenna can be tuned to the first frequency to prevent signal loss caused by the second antenna.

  • Publication number: 20220277421
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a pair of stereo images having a resolution lower than a target resolution, generating an initial first feature map for a first image of the pair based on first channels associated with the first image and generating an initial second feature map for a second image of the pair based on second channels associated with the second image, generating a first feature map based on combining the first channels with the initial first feature map, generating a second feature map based on combining the second channels with the initial second feature map, up-sampling the first feature map and the second feature map to the target resolution, warping the up-sampled second feature map, and generating a reconstructed image corresponding to the first image having the target resolution based on the up-sampled first feature map and the up-sampled and warped second feature map.

  • Publication number: 20220267127
    Abstract: Automated jackstand systems and methods deploy a jackstand to support a front end of a trailer parked at an automated loading dock. The jackstand prevents collapse of the trailer's landing gear and prevents upending of the trailer during loading and unloading. Advantageously, by deploying the jackstand automatically, presence of personnel in the yard where tractors and trailers are moving is not required.

  • Patent number: 11394061
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for controlling charging of vehicles, to avoid charging during charge-adverse time periods or during charge restriction events. This can advantageously reduce cost to vehicles owners, and or provide access to reward incentives. Further, power distribution entities (utility providers) advantageously have increased control over power distribution to avoid over-burdening of power distribution infrastructure. Further, systems and methods for determining or inferring whether a vehicle is connected to a charge station are described, which can be used to inform automatic restriction of vehicle charging.
