  • Patent number: 12152548
    Abstract: A system detects a parameter and generates a first trip plan to automatically control the vehicle according to a first trip plan. A controller is connected to a sensor and configured to receive the parameter. The controller is configured to generate a new trip plan or modify the first trip plan into a modified trip plan based on at least one of a cumulative damage or an end of life date. A new trip plan or the modified trip plan is configured, during operation of the vehicle according to the new trip plan or the modified trip plan, for at least one of an adjustment in velocity or avoiding one or more operating conditions of the vehicle, relative to the first trip plan.

  • Patent number: 10985936
    Abstract: Various arrangements for using captured voice to generate a custom interface controller are presented. A vocal recording from a user may be captured in which a spoken command and multiple smart-home devices are indicated. One or more common functions that map to the multiple smart-home devices may be determined. A custom interface controller may be generated that controls the one or more common functions of each smart-home device of the multiple smart-home devices.

  • Publication number: 20170036859
    Abstract: An evolving mobile Unit for controlled product storage and dispensing, with modular construction and multiple upgrade possibilities, to the capacity and storing/picking system that can evolve from manual, up to fully automatic operation. The Unit is easy to transport and maneuver, by crane or forklift, using the provided pick up points (6) and pockets (7), either in standard or heavy duty/all-weather form. The Unit can be autonomous, with an integrated power unit (49) and internal climate control (19). The products are stored inside, within Unit Loads (UL) (8) that can hold any kind of materials, either solid or liquid, at ambient or controlled temperature and humidity. The ULs are stored in a modular shelving system (9), adjustable to accommodate mixes of UL sizes. Access control is provided by lock (11), drawer (16) and software systems together with a picking/replenishment method.
