  • Publication number: 20230324531
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for asymmetrical frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) for radar systems. In some examples, a radar system includes multiple transmitters, multiple receivers, multiple polyphase shifters, and a processor. The transmitters can transmit electromagnetic (EM) signals in an FDM scheme. The receivers can receive EM signals reflected by one or more objects that include multiple channels. The polyphase shifters can introduce at least four potential phase shifts. The processor can control the polyphase shifters to introduce phase shifts asymmetrically spaced in a frequency spectrum. The processor can determine, using residue estimation and subtraction, potential detections of the objects. In this way, the described asymmetrical FDM for radar systems can support many simultaneous MIMO channels, increase the dynamic range of the radar system, resolve Doppler ambiguities, and provide an efficient processing scheme.

  • Patent number: 11760141
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing a tire pressure enhancing device for increasing the air pressure of tires mounted on a vehicle. For example, an air compressor may be coupled to an engine of a vehicle to compress air. The compressed air is then stored in the frame of the vehicle. The compressed air may be transferred to each tire through a hose via an access point in the frame.

  • Patent number: 11458899
    Abstract: A lighting system for a vehicle can include a sideview mirror assembly mountable to an exterior of the vehicle over a ground area near the vehicle. The lighting system can also include a service lamp integrated with the sideview mirror assembly. The service lamp can be configured to project one or more narrow beams of light to illuminate one or more jack placement indicator spots on the ground area. The service lamp can also be configured to project one or more broad beams of light to illuminate the ground area and/or one or more wheels of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20210158285
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for selecting and utilizing an assortment of cartons for shipping items from a facility location are disclosed. A method includes receiving a shipment history for a facility location, and attributes of candidate cartons. For each shipment in the shipment history, a subset of the candidate cartons that can contain the one or more items in each shipment is determined. A cost of shipping is determined for each shipment in each of the possible cartons. An optimal assortment of cartons is selected from the possible cartons based on a cost of shipping and a number of carton types to be included in the assortment.

  • Patent number: 9041954
    Abstract: A method of implementing consistent behavior across different resolutions of images comprises retrieving a list of image enhancement operations applied to an available image, creating, based on image resolution and use case, from the available image, a pre-processed image that simulates the image enhancement operations intended for the available image, performing an image analysis operation on the pre-processed image to obtain a list of artifacts, creating a modified list of artifacts that are mapped to the coordinate system of the available image, applying the modified list of artifacts and retrieved list of image enhancement operations to the available image to obtain a corrected image, and outputting the corrected image to an output device.

  • Patent number: 8752986
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp assembly includes a lamp housing, a primary lamp unit, and an auxiliary lamp unit. The primary lamp unit and the auxiliary lamp unit are provided within the lamp housing. The auxiliary lamp unit includes a first lighting device, a second lighting device and a supplemental lighting device. The first lighting device is configured to illuminate a portion of the lamp housing in a first direction and the second lighting device is configured to illuminate a portion of the lamp housing in a second direction. The supplemental lighting device is positioned in the lamp housing at an intersection of the first and second directions to provide a uniform lit appearance at a transition of the first lighting device and the second lighting device.
