Title: Detecting sump depth of miner
Inventor: ALASTAIR J PATERSON
IPC: E21C35/24
Filed: 2014-08-29
Abstract: Systems and methods 80 for operating a mining machine include a controller, a stationary object, and a radar device. The radar device transmits radio waves toward the stationary object and detects reflections of the radio waves. The controller obtains timing information regarding the radio waves and the reflections 82. Based on the timing information, the controller determines a first distance between the radar device and the stationary object 84 before sumping the mining machine into material and determine a second distance between the radar device and the stationary object 86 after sumping the mining machine into the material. The controller determines a sump or cut depth of the mining machine based on the first distance and the second distance 88, compares the determined sump depth to a predetermined sump depth 90, and performs an automatic action 92 when the sump depth does not satisfy the predetermined sump depth.

Title: Method of controlling air conditioner (AC) setting in a vehicle, and system thereof
Inventor: JIONG ZAHNG
IPC: B60H1/00
Filed: 2020-02-19
Abstract: Air conditioner settings in a vehicle are controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU receives information comprising at least one of environmental data (e.g. wind speed, ambient temperature, humidity, snow, road topography, road signs) and vehicle data (e.g. open/close status of a window, throttle details, seating position). The ECU uses a first artificial intelligence model to determine an environment feature vector and provides the vector and a historical user preference (e.g. manual selection of an air conditioner flow speed and temperature) to a second artificial intelligence model to determine one or more values that are used to control the air conditioner settings. Ideally the first AI model is trained using information from a plurality of vehicles and the second AI model is trained using the environment feature vector and historical user preference.

Title: Methods and systems for cytometry
Inventor: Sadao Ota
IPC: G01N15/10
Filed: 2019-06-12
Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for ghost cytometry (GC), which may be used to produce an image of an object without using a spatially resolving detector. This may be used to perform image-free ultrafast fluorescence imaging cytometry, based on, for example, a single pixel detector. Spatial information obtained from the motion of cells relative to a patterned optical structure may be compressively converted into signals that arrive sequentially at a single pixel detector. Combinatorial use of the temporal waveform with the intensity distribution of the random or pseudo-random pattern may permit computational reconstruction of cell morphology. Machine learning methods may be applied directly to the compressed waveforms without image reconstruction to enable efficient image-free morphology-based cytometry. Image-free GC may achieve accurate and high throughput cell classification as well as selective sorting based on cell morphology without a specific biomarker, which have been challenging using conventional flow cytometers.

Title: Controller area network messages in an autonomous vehicle
Inventor: LIXUN LIN
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2021-03-16
Abstract: A controller area network (CAN) Ethernet gateway (CEG) may serve as a proxy to convert CAN messages to User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets for transmission between different elements of an autonomous vehicle (AV). The invention provides a CAN Ethernet gateway communicatively coupled with a first CAN bus and a second CAN bus. The first and second CAN data is parsed at the CEG and provided to a UDP packet handler configured to generate a UDP packet. The UDP packet includes a packet header, a first data portion that includes a CAN header and CAN data related to the first CAN bus, and a second data portion that includes a CAN header and CAN data related to the second CAN bus. The CEG may be configured to filter data based on tags, message type or headers. A computing device that is communicatively coupled with the CEG by an Ethernet link may then identify the CAN data and operative the vehicle based on the data. The use of Ethernet reduces resources in terms of design cost and physical space by packaging data related to multiple CAN buses into a single UDP packet.
