  • Publication number: 20240111290
    Abstract: A system for detecting and engaging a refuse can includes at least one sensor positioned on a refuse collection vehicle and configured to detect objects on one or more sides of the refuse vehicle, an actuator assembly configured to actuate to engage the refuse can, and a controller configured to detect, using a single-stage object detector, the presence of the refuse can based on first data received from the at least one sensor, determine, based on the first data, a position of the refuse can with respect to the refuse collection vehicle, generate a first trajectory from the refuse collection vehicle to the position of the refuse can, generate a second trajectory for the actuator assembly, and initiate a control action to move at least one of the refuse collection vehicle along the first trajectory or the actuator assembly along the second trajectory to engage the refuse can.

  • Patent number: 11922736
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes multiple systems, each system including a sensor. The refuse vehicle also includes an automated check system. The automated check system includes processing circuitry configured to obtain sensor data from the sensor of each of the multiple systems, determine which of the multiple systems require manual inspection based on the sensor data, and operate a display screen to prompt a technician to manually inspect one or more of the multiple systems.

  • Patent number: 10291310
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for gap-based antenna measurement for antenna switch diversity, where there are fewer number of receivers or transmitters than the number of available antennas. The receivers may switch to additional antennas during a gap and switch back to the previous antennas. A device may select which antennas to use for communications based at least on measurements of additional antennas, thus supporting antenna switch diversity despite having fewer number of receiver chains.

  • Patent number: 9961600
    Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to using antenna-switched diversity (ASDIV) in wireless communications. A serving node can be communicated with using a serving radio access technology (RAT) and based on an ASDIV configuration, wherein the ASDIV configuration defines an antenna switching configuration including a state of one or more switches in an ASDIV switch group for switching between one or more antennas for the communicating based on sensing one or more parameters of the communicating. It can be determined whether a target RAT supports operating using a same ASDIV switch group as the serving RAT. A target node can be communicated with using the target RAT and based on the ASDIV configuration where the target RAT operates using the same ASDIV switch group as the serving RAT.

  • Publication number: 20170353955
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform uplink communications on a first radio frequency spectrum band using a first transceiver and a first antenna. The first transceiver may have a first capability configuration. The UE may receive an assignment for uplink communications on a second radio frequency spectrum band and couple a second transceiver to the first antenna to perform the uplink communications on the first radio frequency spectrum band. The spectrum transceiver may have a second capability configuration that is different from the first capability configuration with respect to at least the second radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may switch the first transceiver to a second antenna for the uplink communications on the second radio frequency spectrum band.

  • Publication number: 20140353522
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a flow fluorescence microscopic imaging apparatus. More particularly, it relates to a fluorescence microscopic imaging apparatus which combines the fluorescence microscopy excited by light sheet and flow cytometry. The present invention provides a new methodology in the field of flow cytometry based on the flow fluorescence microscopic imaging device, which is able to solve the problem of small depth-of-field (DOF) and the motion blur when the flow objects are imaged.
