Control And Systems For Autonomously Driven Vehicles

US Patent:
2010010, Apr 29, 2010
Filed:
Oct 24, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/289325
Inventors:
Paul Gerard Trepagnier - Metairie LA, US
Jorge Emilio Nagel - New Orleans LA, US
Matthew Taylor Dooner - Jefferson LA, US
Michael Thomas Dewenter - New Orleans LA, US
Neil Michael Traft - New Orleans LA, US
Sergey Drakunov - Port Orange FL, US
Powell Kinney - Slidell LA, US
Aaron Lee - Jamaica Plain MA, US
Assignee:
The Gray Insurance Company - Metairie LA
International Classification:
G05D 1/02
US Classification:
701 25, 701 26
Abstract:
A navigation and control system including one or more position sensors configured to generate position signals indicative of the location and heading of a vehicle. The system includes one or more operation control mechanisms having inputs and producing outputs which control an operation of the vehicle and includes a self-contained autonomous controller disposed remote from the operation control mechanisms. The autonomous controller includes a processor configured to receive the position signals from the position sensors and to generate operation control signals defining an updated travel path for the vehicle, and a programmable interface providing communication among the position sensors, the operation control mechanisms, and the processor. The programmable interface is configured to normalize inputs to the processor from the position sensors and to generate compatible operation control signals applied as the inputs to the operation control mechanisms, whereby the self-contained autonomous controller is configurable for operation with a variety of different sensors and different operation control mechanisms.

Sounding Kit

US Patent:
2014006, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:
Aug 28, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/596663
Inventors:
Berry Lee McCormick - Carriere MS, US
Richard Harvey Smith - Picayune MS, US
Michael Thomas Dewenter - New Orleans LA, US
Assignee:
QINETIQ NORTH AMERICA, INC. - McLean VA
International Classification:
G01W 1/08
US Classification:
7317028
Abstract:
A man packable, portable sounding kit includes, in one example, at least two balloons and at least two radiosondes each including a tether for connecting a radiosonde to a balloon. A gas container includes gas for inflating the at least two balloons. A fill hose assembly includes a balloon inflation nozzle coupled to a pressure regulator. A data transceiver unit is configured to receive and optionally to rebroadcast atmospheric weather data from the radiosonde. A case houses the balloons, radiosondes, data transceiver unit, gas container, and fill hose assembly.
