Title: Single beam digitally modulated lidar for autonomous vehicle distance sensing
Inventor: SMITH RUSSELL
IPC: G01S17/89
Filed: 2020-10-19
Abstract: According to one aspect, a relatively low-cost sensor for use on an autonomous vehicle is capable of detecting moving objects in a range or a zone that is between approximately 80 meters and approximately 300 meters away from the autonomous vehicle. A substantially single fan-shaped light beam is scanned for a full 360 degrees in azimuth. Using frequency -modulated-continuous-wave (FMCW) or phase coded modulation on the beam, with back end digital signal processing (DSP), moving objects may effectively be distinguished from a substantially stationary background.

Title: A local computing cloud that is interactive with a public computing cloud
Inventor: CHOI HUNG BUN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2021-04-06
Abstract: A home computing cloud (HCC) supports one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices, possibly with different connectively protocols, in a local environment. The HCC often reduces the amount of data traffic sent to a public computing cloud (PCC) by locally processing collected device data rather than by sending the device data to the PCC for processing. This approach reduces the amount of data traffic sent over the network, improves data privacy and helps to maintain a desired quality of service level. In order to do so, the HCC may download an appropriate data analytic model from the PCC, train the model, execute the trained model to obtain prediction information from collected IoT device data, and upload the trained model to the PCC. Alternatively, the HCC and PCC may execute sub-models of the analytic model and exchange the outputs of the sub-models with each other.
