  • MULTI-CONTROLLER SYNCHRONIZATION
    Publication number: 20210382481
    Abstract: A vehicle can include a primary computing device and a secondary computing device. The primary computing device can receive a trajectory and can generate control data to control the vehicle based on a computed state. Further, the primary computing device can send the internal data to the secondary computing device configured to control the vehicle in the event of a failure of the primary computing device. The secondary computing device can receive the internal data as first internal data and determine a capability associated with the primary computing device. Using the first internal data, the secondary computing device can determine second internal data and, based on the capability (e.g., in event of a failure of the primary computing device), can control the vehicle to follow a trajectory using the second internal data. Transferring state between an active to a standby computing device can ensure algorithmic synchronization and safe operation.

  • Control of a component of a downhole tool
    Patent number: 9222352
    Abstract: An apparatus including a downhole tool for conveyance in a wellbore extending into a subterranean formation and method of use thereof. The downhole tool may include a turbo-alternator disposed in a passageway for drilling mud, and a controller to: track operating points of the turbo-alternator, determine from the operating points a flow rate of the drilling mud, and control a component of the downhole tool based on the flow rate.
