Patent number: 12044535Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for locating a vehicle. A pose state estimator may access a previous position for the vehicle at a first time, wherein the previous position is on a first sub-map of a plurality of sub-maps. The pose state estimator may receive from a first localizer a first position estimate for the vehicle at a second time after the first time. The first position estimate may be on a second sub-map of the plurality of sub-maps. The pose state estimator may send to a second localizer a sub-map change message indicating the second sub-map.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2023Date of Patent: July 23, 2024Assignee: Aurora Operations, Inc.Inventors: Rachel Ahn, David Prasser, Peter Hansen, Robert Zlot

Patent number: 8945263Abstract: A filter unit and method for removing grease, oil and other particulates from air, for example, in a kitchen environment. The filter unit includes a housing having an upstream side, an downstream side, and a cavity therebetween, a heat exchanger disposed within the cavity and comprising at least two parallel tubes, at least one entrance aperture disposed on the upstream side of the housing and defined by at least one fin, at least one baffle disposed on the downstream side of the housing so as to be oppositely disposed from the at least one entrance aperture, and at least one exit aperture disposed on the downstream side of the housing adjacent the at least one baffle. The baffle and fin define at least one S-shaped flow path through the housing, and the flow path routes air around a downstream side of a first of the at least two tubes and then around an upstream side of a second of the at least two tubes.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2010Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Blissfield Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Daniel Sikkenga, Robert Prasser

Patent number: 8376985Abstract: A medication delivery device includes a housing, a door coupled to the housing and moveable between a closed position and an open position. The door permits insertion of a medication container, containing liquid medication, into the housing in the open position. A door opening mechanism is coupled to the door. A push member is axially moveable between a retracted position and a non-retracted position and located external to the medication container. The push member enters the medication container and pushes the liquid medication out of the medication container. A lock mechanism is coupled to the door opening mechanism and prevents opening of the door when the push member is in the non-retracted position inside the medication container, wherein the lock mechanism automatically unlocks the door opening mechanism when the push member is in the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2011Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Ares Trading S.A.Inventors: Vincent Pongpairochana, Timothy John MacLean, Robert Prasser, Gerhard Lauchard, Werner Wurmbauer, Gerhard Kogler
