Title: Distributed electric vehicle charging system
Inventor: PAUL WESTON
IPC: H02G9/04
Filed: 2020-07-31
Abstract: A distributed electric vehicle (EV) charging system is controlled remotely using an authenticated EV charging session. The system includes: a central control module 1; at least one local charging module 18, remote from the central control module; and an infrastructure element 40. The central control module receives electricity from a power distribution network and distributes electricity to at least one charging feed. The local charging module(s) receives electricity from at least one of the local charging feeds and supplies electricity to at least one EV via a charging outlet 23. The infrastructure element is a modular edging segment (e.g. kerb (curb)) housing a hollow cabling conduit that carries the local charging feed. When charging an EV, the local charging module is identified to an authorisation system for EV charging. An authorisation signal is received at a central controller, housed in the central control module and in communication with a communications network 13. A signal is received at the local charging module that an EV has been connected to the charging outlet. In response to the authorisation signal, a central switch coupled to the local charging feed is closed to cause electricity to flow between the central control module and the local charging module and charging of the EV is initiated.

Title: System and method for enhancing non-inertial tracking system with inertial constraints
Inventor: BENZUN PIOUS WISELY BABU
IPC: G01C21/16
Filed: 2020-09-14
Abstract: A position and orientation of a device 100 is found by estimating a first tracking state of the device using measurements from an exteroceptive sensor (ES) 104 such as a camera, sampled at a first rate. A second tracking state of the device is found using measurements from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) 106 sampled at a second rate asynchronous to the first rate. The first and second tracking states are synchronised by estimating a time offset that minimizes an error between changes over time between the first and second tracking states. The first tracking state and the second tracking state are aligned to an inertial reference frame. An inertial-aided tracking state is generated by minimizing a cost function that includes a first residual term derived from propagating a previous state estimate using the second tracking state shifted by the time offset and a second residual term derived from the first tracking state. In further aspects of the invention, the tracking state is an orientation, and in yet a further aspect there is no common electrical trigger between the ES and IMU. The activity type associated with the device (such as in-hand running, in-vehicle etc.) may be determined and used to change the model for estimating the tracking state.
