Christopher Paul Urmson
Co-founder and CEO of Aurora.
Patent №: 12397805 – Cross-validating sensors of an autonomous vehicle.
The comparison may involve evaluating vehicle state information detected by each sensor, or analyzing images captured by the sensors. Image comparison can include assessing characteristics such as object labels assigned to detected vehicles.
Thomas Marshall Congdon
Engineering Manager at Caterpillar Inc Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.).
Patent №: 12398531 – Washout protection for a bit.
A tool bit includes a working portion and a shank portion terminating at a free end. The working portion has a pair of side inserts and a front insert.
Yusufu Njoni Bamaxam Sulai
Oculus Research.
Patent №: 12399360 – Enabling eye tracking in pancake lens optics.
Ghost images in folded-optics systems, such as artificial-reality displays, can interfere with eye tracking. Waveplates, polarizers, or other optical elements may be used to attenuate or eliminate the ghost light.
Stefano Di Cairano
Deputy Director, Distinguished Research Scientist at MERL, IEEE Fellow, Private pilot ASEL.
Patent №: 12399465 – System and method for controlling an operation of a system subject to an uncertainty.
Controls system operation under uncertainty by sampling the variable, bounding its quantile function, defining an uncertainty set, converting chance constraints to deterministic ones, and generating actuator commands accordingly.
Kang-Yong Kim
Fellow, Micron Technology.
Patent №: 12399648 – Die-based rank management.
Manages memory ranks by identifying non-functional dies, remapping rank selections to functional dies, and storing the mapping for access. This allows commands directed to faulty ranks to be redirected, enabling use of memory packages with defective dies and improving production yield.
