Publication number: 20240430574Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a vehicle camera system. A device implementing the subject technology may include a processor configured to detect a first camera on a vehicle and a second camera on the vehicle. The processor can determine a position and a pose of at least one of the first camera or the second camera. The processor also can receive first data from the first camera and second data from the second camera. The processor can stitch the first data with the second data to generate a stitched image having a contiguous field of view based on the position and the pose of the at least one of the first camera or the second camera. Accordingly, seamless integration of cameras between a vehicle and towed objects of various geometries for surround view can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Geoffrey Francis BURNS, Sreenivasulu GOSANGI, Michael Adkins KNOTT, Krishna Kumar MADAPARAMBIL, Vishwas VENKATACHALAPATHY, Vinay PALAKKODE, Vikram APPIA

Publication number: 20240428545Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a vehicle camera system. A device implementing the subject technology includes a first set of cameras and a processor configured to receive first data from at least one camera of a second set of cameras of an object configured to be towed by a vehicle and second data from at least one camera of the first set of cameras. The processor may determine, using a trained machine learning algorithm, a set of sub-pixel shift values that represent relative positions of images in the first data and the second data based on a position of the at least one camera of the first set of cameras. The processor may align, using the trained machine learning algorithm, the images based on the set of sub-pixel shift values, and combine the aligned images to produce a stitched image having a combined field of view.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: December 26, 2024Inventors: Vishwas VENKATACHALAPATHY, Vinay PALAKKODE, Vikram APPIA, Geoffrey Francis BURNS, Sreenivasulu GOSANGI, Michael Adkins KNOTT, Krishna Kumar MADAPARAMBIL

Publication number: 20240221437Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling an air compressor are provided. A system of a vehicle can establish a bi-directional connection with a controller of an air compressor of the vehicle. The system can present, via a graphical user interface displayed on a display device, an icon for a preset configured with a target pressure for a type of object. The system can transmit, via the bi-directional connection responsive to a selection of the preset, an instruction to the controller to activate the air compressor to inflate the object to the target pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2022Publication date: July 4, 2024Inventors: Michael Adkins Knott, Andrea Marie Best, Erik Robert Glaser, Tyree Worthy, Dax Chatfield Inman

Patent number: 8668221Abstract: A device for coupling a vehicle to a trailer is provided. The device includes a base having a channel and a pair of side walls. The channel includes a mouth leading into a stop. The side walls are spaced apart from each other and the channel runs generally between the side walls. A catch is pivotally mounted between the side walls. The catch includes a mounting end, a catch end, and a contact surface. The catch end is pivotable between a first position, wherein the catch end abuts against the base; and a second position wherein the catch end is displaced from the base. The tow pin engages the contact surface of the catch and pivots the catch end towards the second position. The catch end returns to the first position so as to secure the tow pin between the catch end and the stop when the tow pin abuts against the stop.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2009Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.Inventors: Jason Michael Adkins, Charles Christopher Asebes, Sudhakar Pillarisetti

Patent number: 8164456Abstract: A device for incrementally adjusting the position of an RFID tag includes a base, and a lid releasably attachable to said base. The base includes a generally planar surface in which a plurality of locators are formed at regular intervals. A portion of the RFID tag is received by one of the plurality of locators for incrementally adjusting of the position of the RFID tag. The plurality of locators extend collinearly and are formed overlapping so that the position of the RFID tag is adjustable in increments less than the overall length of the RFID tag.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2009Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.Inventors: Jason Michael Adkins, Charles Christopher Asebes, Sudhakar Pillarisetti
