  • Publication number: 20240067184
    Abstract: A system includes inertial sensors and a GPS. The system generates a first estimated vehicle velocity based on motion data and positioning data, generates a second estimated vehicle velocity based on the processed motion data and the first estimated vehicle velocity, and generates fused datasets indicative of position, velocity and attitude of a vehicle based on the processed motion data, the positioning data and the second estimated vehicle velocity. The generating the second estimated vehicle velocity includes: filtering the motion data, transforming the filtered motion data in a frequency domain based on the first estimated vehicle velocity, generating spectral power density signals, generating an estimated wheel angular frequency and an estimated wheel size based on the spectral power density signals, and generating the second estimated vehicle velocity as a function of the estimated wheel angular frequency and the estimated wheel size.

  • Patent number: 10463188
    Abstract: This invention discloses an airlift pumping mechanism for a fluid container, which is intended to address the problem of decreasing efficiency of the pumping mechanism when the liquid level in the container is low in the prior art. For this purpose, the airlift pumping mechanism comprises an air compressor and a riser tube assembly, wherein the riser tube assembly is located in a fluid container, and the air compressor is in communication with the riser tube assembly for feeding the compressed air to the riser tube assembly so that the same flows upward through the riser tube assembly together with the fluid in the fluid container. The pumping mechanism is characterized by further comprising a sunken cavity downwardly extending from the inner bottom surface of the fluid container, wherein the sunken cavity is located between the air compressor and the riser tube assembly and is in communication with the air compressor and the riser tube assembly.

  • Patent number: 9418086
    Abstract: Database access is described, for example, where data in a database is accessed by an inference engine. In various examples, the inference engine executes inference algorithms to access data from the database and carry out inference using the data. In examples the inference algorithms are compiled from a schema of the database which is annotated with expressions of probability distributions over data in the database. In various examples the schema of the database is modified by adding one or more latent columns or latent tables to the schema for storing data to be inferred by the inference engine. In examples the expressions are compositional so, for example, an expression annotating a column of a database table may be used as part of an expression annotating another column of the database.

  • Patent number: 9233600
    Abstract: A roof assembly for a vehicle comprises a stationary part and at least one rigid panel. The panel is movable between a closed position and a rear position. A downwardly extending side cover is connected to side edges of said panel and to the stationary part. The side cover hides an operating mechanism from a side view and has front and rear ends. The side cover is substantially stationary with respect to the stationary part and is slidably guided in a guide rail. The guide rail only starts at a distance from the front end of the cover when the panel is in its closed position. This distance is minimally Bmin and maximally: Amax=L?S?Bmin wherein: L=Length of side cover S=maximum sliding movement of guide rail of panel Bmin=Minimum overlap between side cover and guide rail in rear position of panel.

  • Publication number: 20100178944
    Abstract: An email account is automatically created and associated with a communication device when an email is received for the communication device. The email is addressed using addressing information that includes a phone number associated with the recipient communication device, but does not include information identifying a network carrier associated with the recipient communication device. A messaging server causes an SMS to be sent to the recipient communication device. The SMS includes a notification that the email message has been received and includes a user-selectable link for accessing the email message. In response to receiving a selection of the user-selectable link, access is provided to the email message, for instance, using a Web-based email client at the recipient communication device.
