Patent number: 11924279Abstract: Support of coexistence of wireless transmission equipment in shared wireless medium environments is disclosed, which is applicable to various types of wireless transmission equipment. For instance, a wireless power transmission system (WPTS) delivers power to wireless power receiver clients via transmission of wireless power signals using one or more frequencies and/or channels within shared wireless medium environments in which other wireless equipment is operating, such as access points and stations in wireless local area networks (WLANs). The WPTS is configured to co-exist with the operations of the other wireless equipment within the shared wireless medium environment by adapting its transmission operations to utilize frequencies or channels that do not interfere with other equipment and/or implementing co-channel and shared channels operations under which access to channels is implemented using standardized WLAN protocols such as PHY and MAC protocols used for 802.11 (Wi-Fi™) networks.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Ossia Inc.Inventors: Scott Elliott, Dale Mayes, Robert Giometti

Patent number: 11753784Abstract: A material collection system includes a conduit, a vacuum generator coupled to the conduit, an engine powering the vacuum generator, and a container mounted to a chassis of a vehicle. The vacuum generator generates airflow for drawing material into a material inlet of the conduit. The container receives collected material from the conduit. The material collection container can receive collected material from the conduit. The control system can include a load sensor and a controller in electrical communication with the load sensor. The load sensor can detect a load applied by the collected material received in the material collection container and transmit an output signal indicating the load applied by the collected material. The controller can determine a weight of the collected material received in the material collection container based on the output signal and determine an aggregate weight of the vehicle using the determined weight of the collected material.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Old Dominion Brush CompanyInventors: Britt R. Calloway, Robert Mayes, Tim Stumph, Chris Turner
