Patents by Inventor Pär DEGERMAN

Pär DEGERMAN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11164461
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a vehicle system for an autonomous or semi-autonomous motor vehicle, and a perception system for managing a plurality of interconnected motor vehicles. More specifically, the vehicle system has a control unit for retrieving a relative position of an object in a surrounding environment of the vehicle by means of a sensory system and for retrieving a heading of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the control unit is configured to receive data from a different motor vehicle comprising the heading of the different motor vehicle and the position of the object relative to the different motor vehicle. The control unit is further configured to translate this external measurement to a local coordinate system in order to add redundancy to the measurement (and thereby accuracy) by utilizing a distributed system approach and therefore reduce the need for adding cost and complexity to each vehicle system in order to achieve increased accuracy.

  • Patent number: 10668778
    Abstract: A pressure ratio between a setpoint tire pressure and an actual tire pressure for a tire of a vehicle is ascertained by the following steps: Ascertaining a wheel load which is acting on the tire. Ascertaining a dynamic tire radius of the tire. Ascertaining the pressure ratio as a function of the wheel load and the dynamic tire radius.
