Patent number: 11861790Abstract: Procedural world generation using tertiary data is described. In an example, a computing device can receive road network data associated with the real environment and a road mesh associated with a real environment. The computing device can associate the road network data with the road mesh to generate a simulated environment. Additionally, the computing device can associate supplemental data with the road network data and the road mesh to enhance the simulated environment (e.g., supplementing information otherwise unavailable to the sensor data due to an occlusion). The computing device can output the simulated environment for at least one of testing, validating, or training an algorithm used by an autonomous robotic computing device for at least one of navigating, planning, or decision making.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: ZOOX, INC.Inventors: James Graham Dolan, Douglas Raymond Brooks

Patent number: 11068627Abstract: Procedural generation of simulated environments is described herein. In an example, a computing device can access road network data associated with a real environment. Further, the computing device can generate, based on the sensor data, a road mesh associated with the real environment. The computing device can associate the road network data with the road mesh to generate a simulated environment and can procedurally render at least one object into the simulated environment based at least in part on at least one rule. The computing device can output the simulated environment for at least one of testing, validating, or training an algorithm used by an autonomous vehicle for at least one of navigating, planning, or decision making.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: James Graham Dolan, Douglas Raymond Brooks

Patent number: 9291649Abstract: A radio frequency sensor system includes a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB includes a first exterior layer, a second exterior layer, a first interior layer, a second interior layer, and an inner perimeter that defines an aperture through the PCB. The PCB also includes a first loop. The first loop includes a first plurality of sensor pads coupled to a first plurality of vias by a first plurality of traces. The first plurality of sensor pads is arranged on the inner perimeter. The PCB also includes a second loop. The second loop includes a second plurality of sensor pads coupled to a second plurality of vias by a second plurality of traces. The second plurality of sensor pads is arranged on the inner perimeter. A core ring is embedded within the first interior layer proximal to the first plurality of sensor pads, the first plurality of vias, and the first plurality of traces. A center conductor, for carrying RF current, extends through the aperture.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: MKS Instruments, Inc.Inventors: Dennis M. Brown, David J. Coumou, Raymond Brooks

Publication number: 20070146227Abstract: An articulated boom comprises a support arm with a plurality of hingedly-connected joints. The arm is adapted and arranged to carry an antenna reflector so that in use, the reflector can move between a first stowed position in which the reflector is in folded condition and a second deployed position in which the reflector is in deployed condition. A spacecraft incorporates into one or more of its sides a plurality of such articulated booms. The support arms of the booms can be advantageously positioned at the circumference of the associated reflectors when in a stowed position, so as to allow the reflectors to be neatly stacked together within a space defined by the launch vehicle fairing.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2005Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: EADS Astrium LimitedInventors: Raymond Brooks, Trevor Baker
