Publication number: 20240094741Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for automated following behind a lead vehicle. The lead vehicle navigates a path from a starting point to a destination. The lead vehicle and the following vehicle are connected via V2V communication, allowing one or more following vehicles to detect the path taken by the lead vehicle. A computerized control system on the following vehicle (a Follow-the-Leader, or FTL, system) allows the following vehicle to mimic the behavior of the lead vehicle, with the FTL system controlling steering to guide the following vehicle along the path previously navigated by the lead vehicle. In some embodiments, the lead vehicle and following vehicle may both use Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position coordinates. In some embodiments, the following vehicle may also have a system of sensors to maintain a gap between the following and lead vehicles.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Peloton Technology, Inc.Inventors: Shad Laws, Joshua Switkes, Art Gavrysh, Marc Tange, Mark Herbert, Colleen Twitty, Dean Hogle, Andrew Tamoney, Eric Monsler, Carlos Rosario, Oliver Bayley, Richard Pallo, Louis Donayre, Laurenz Laubinger, Brian Smartt, Joyce Tam, Brian Silverman, Tabitha Jarvis, Murad Bharwani, Steven Erlein, Austin Schuh, Mark Luckevich

Publication number: 20240076734Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detection of analyte interaction with a channel molecule held in a membrane, comprising the optical detection of a modification in the flux of a signal molecule as it passes through the channel molecule by the action of a membrane potential, wherein the modification in the flux is caused by at least partial blockage of the channel molecule by the analyte. The invention further relates to bilayer arrays, components, methods of manufacture and use.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: OXFORD UNIVERSITY INNOVATION LIMITEDInventors: Mark WALLACE, Hagan Bayley, Shuo Huang, Oliver Castell, Mercedes Romero-Ruiz

Publication number: 20200135033Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing the efficiency of vehicle platooning systems are described. In one aspect, data associated with two or more vehicles is received by a system. The data received by the system may be used by a system to track and analyze fleet locations, activities, and fuel efficiency among other attributes. In some examples, fleets management systems may provide users with granular information regarding hundreds of vehicles and information about their platooning systems. Systems and methods described herein also indicated how fleet management and analysis systems can be used to create safer and more fuel-efficient trips.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2018Publication date: April 30, 2020Applicant: Peloton Technology, Inc.Inventors: Joshua P Switkes, Brian Smartt, Joyce Tam, Oliver Bayley, Marc Ryan Mazonni, Wayne Wright

Publication number: 20070194926Abstract: Interactive radio frequency tags that are responsive to external stimuli to change state are disclosed. The tags preferably include a passive radio frequency transponder, having an antenna, an interface for receiving an external stimulus, and one or more integrated circuits responsive to the external stimulus received at the interface to change the state of the transponder. Also disclosed is a “sensor tag” which changes state in response to a particular environmental stimulus. In addition, either of these “button” or “sensor” features may be combined with an output feature which visually, audibly, tactilely or otherwise signals the state or change of state of an RF tag, or the tag may be designed to produce an output in response to the external stimulus of the RF signal received at the tag's antenna.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2007Publication date: August 23, 2007Inventors: Oliver Bayley, Bernard Kerr, Geoffrey Smith, James Dishman, Mark McCabe, John Ananny
