Abstract: An integrated hybrid rotary assembly is configured to provide power, torque and bi-directional communication to a rotatable sensor, such as a lidar, radar or optical sensor. A common ferrite core is shared by a motor, rotary transformer and radio frequency communication link. This hybrid configuration reduces cost, simplifies the manufacturing process, and can improve system reliability by employing a minimum number of parts. The assembly can be integrated with the sensor unit, which may be used in vehicles and other systems.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for team-sourced anomaly vetting via automatically-delegated role definition. The method may include automatically determining that an event of the computing system corresponding to activity of an end user is anomalous. Based on the anomalous event, a permission store of the computing system may automatically be edited to include an access restriction on the end user, and a notification may be automatically generated and transmitted to one or both of the end user and another end user. The notification may provide access to an executable statement including code configured to be executed to remove the access restriction. A call to the executable statement by the other end user may be automatically received. Further, the permission store may be automatically edited to remove the access restriction on the end user.
