Benjamin Patrick Rhoads - Palo Alto CA, US

International Classification:

A61L 9/20
A61L 2/24
A61L 2/10

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for disinfecting a cabin of a vehicle. In one example, a disinfection system comprises a controller, an ultraviolet radiation source, an air duct, and a steerable optical system. The ultraviolet radiation source is in communication with the controller, disposed within the air duct, and configured to emit ultraviolet radiation. The air duct comprises an inlet configured to receive air particles from within the cabin. The air duct comprises one or more internal reflective surfaces configured to reflect the ultraviolet radiation so as to disinfect the air particles within the air duct. The air duct comprises an outlet configured to transmit the disinfected air particles out of the air duct via the outlet. The steerable optical system is coupled to the air duct and configured to receive and selectively direct the ultraviolet radiation to disinfect the cabin. Additional systems and related methods are provided.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a storage system includes one or more platforms to stow compute units of an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle in a storage compartment of the vehicle. The platform is configured to support a compute unit of the vehicle to avoid a crumple zone of the vehicle. The crumple zone of the vehicle is designed to crumple when colliding with an object. The storage system also includes one or more shear fasteners configured to fasten the compute unit to the platform. The one or more shear fasteners are configured to break in a predetermined direction in response to a predetermined amount of lateral force. The breakage of the one or more shear fasteners decouples the compute unit from the platform in a controlled direction.

G06F 1/20

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes, by a computing system of a vehicle, determining a first temperature of a control unit of the vehicle, wherein the control unit and one or more components of the vehicle are interconnected through a thermal network, determining a thermal objective for the control unit based on the first temperature of the control unit, selecting, based on the thermal objective for the control unit, at least a first component from the one or more components, and sending one or more signals to one or more actuators within the thermal network to enable a heat-transfer fluid to flow between (1) a first portion of the thermal network thermally coupled to the control unit and (2) a second portion of the thermal network thermally coupled to the selected first component.

Abstract:

A trashcan assembly can include a body portion, a lid portion pivotably coupled with the body portion, and a sensor assembly configured to generate a signal when an object is detected within a sensing region. The sensor assembly can include a plurality of transmitters having a first subset of transmitters and a second subset of transmitters. A transmission axis of least one transmitter in the first subset of transmitters can be different from a transmission axis of at least one of the transmitters in the second subset of transmitters. An electronic processor can generate an electronic signal to a power-operated drive mechanism for moving the lid portion from a closed position to an open position when the sensor assembly detects the object within the sensing region.
