Patent number: 12260501Abstract: This specification describes systems and methods for refining point cloud data. Methods can include receiving point cloud data for a physical space, iteratively selecting points along an x, y, and z dimension, clustering the selected points into 2D histograms, determining a slope value for each 2D histogram, and removing, based on the slope value exceeding a predetermined value, points from the point cloud data. Methods can also include iteratively voxelizing each 2D histogram into predetermined mesh sizes, summating points in each voxelized 2D histogram, removing, based on determining the summation is below a predetermined sum value, points from the point cloud data, keeping, based on determining that a number of points in each voxelized 2D histogram exceeds a threshold value, a center point, selecting, for each histogram, a point, identifying, nearest neighbors in the point cloud data, removing the identified nearest neighbors from the data, and returning remaining points.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2024Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Lineage Logistics, LLCInventors: Christopher Frank Eckman, Brady Michael Lowe, Alexander Hall

Patent number: 11668833Abstract: Virtual bumpers for autonomous vehicles improve effectiveness and safety as such vehicles are operated. One or more sensor systems having a Lidar sensor and a camera sensor determine proximity of objects around the vehicle and facilitate identification of the environment around the vehicle. The sensor systems are placed at various locations around the vehicle. The vehicle identifies an object and one or more properties of the identified object using the sensor systems. Based on the identified object and the properties of the object, a virtual bumper may be created for that object. For example, if the object is identified as another vehicle moving with a certain velocity, the vehicle may determine a minimum space to avoid the other vehicle, either by changing direction or reducing the velocity of the vehicle, with the minimum space constituting a virtual bumper.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: CYNGN, INC.Inventors: Michael Lowe, Ain McKendrick, Andrea Mariotti, Pranav Bajoria, Biao Ma

Patent number: 11640837Abstract: A method used in forming a memory array comprises forming digitlines above and electrically couple to memory cells there-below. The digitlines are laterally-spaced relative one another in a vertical cross-section. An upwardly-open void-space is laterally-between immediately-adjacent of the digitlines in the vertical cross-section. Conductive material of the digitlines is covered with masking material that is in and less-than-fills the upwardly-open void-spaces. The masking material is removed from being directly above tops of the digitlines to expose the conductive digitline material and to leave the masking material over sidewalls of the conductive digitline material in the upwardly-open void-spaces. Insulative material is selectively grown from the exposed conductive digitline material relative to the masking material across the upwardly-open void-spaces to form covered void-spaces there-from between the immediately-adjacent digitlines in the vertical cross-section.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Armin Saeedi Vahdat, Richard J.
