Patent number: 12139254Abstract: This disclosure describes a moonroof accessory panel. The moonroof accessory panel may be a structure that may be removably attached to a moonroof area of a vehicle. The moonroof accessory panel may be used to hold a drone associated with the vehicle such that the drone may take-off from and land on the moonroof accessory panel. The top of the moonroof accessory panel may also be accessible from the cabin of the vehicle such that a user may place the drone on top of the moonroof accessory panel while inside the cabin. The moonroof accessory panel may also be used for other purposes beyond holding drones as well.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2021Date of Patent: November 12, 2024Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventor: Nelson Alexander Brock

Publication number: 20240210288Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to the preparation of representative samples from clinical samples, e.g., tumors (whole or in part), lymph nodes, metastases, cysts, polyps, or a combination or portion thereof, using mechanical and/or biochemical dissociation methods to homogenize intact samples or large portions thereof. The resulting homogenate provides the ability to obtain a correct representative sample despite spatial heterogeneity within the sample, increasing detection likelihood of low prevalence subclones, and is suitable for use in various diagnostic assays as well as the production of therapeutics, especially “personalized” anti-tumor vaccines or immune cell based therapies.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2024Publication date: June 27, 2024Inventors: Nelson Alexander, Aoune Barhoumi, Melinda Day, Lisa Gallegos, Katherine Leith, Samantha Rajkovich, Esteban Roberts, Stacey Stanislaw, Eric Walk

Publication number: 20240201683Abstract: A vehicle integrated unmanned aerial system is disclosed. The system may include a vehicle and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The vehicle may include a vehicle processor configured to obtain a vehicle telemetry information from a vehicle telemetry unit and a user input from a vehicle user. Further, the vehicle may include a transmitter that may be configured to transmit the vehicle telemetry information and the user input to the UAV. The UAV may include a UAV receiver configured to receive the vehicle telemetry information and the user input. Further, the UAV may include a UAV processor that may be configured to obtain the vehicle telemetry information and the vehicle user from the UAV receiver and predict a vehicle movement based on the vehicle telemetry information. The UAV processor may be further configured to maneuver the UAV based on the predicted vehicle movement and the user input.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2022Publication date: June 20, 2024Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: James Carthew, Nelson Alexander Brock, Jeffrey Yizhou Hu
