20250130317. Systems and Methods for Data Communication via a Rotary Link_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)

Inventor(s): Youming Qin of Sunnyvale CA US for waymo llc, Paul Karplus of Redwood City CA US for waymo llc

IPC Code(s): G01S7/481, G01S7/00, G01S17/00, G01S17/931, G08C17/02, H02J50/10, H04B5/24, H04L5/00, H04W4/38

CPC Code(s): G01S7/4817

Abstract: a sensing device includes a stationary portion and a rotating portion. the rotating portion is spaced apart from the stationary portion by a gap and is configured to rotate relative to the stationary portion. the rotating portion includes one or more sensors that generate data. a communication interface in the rotating portion is configured to encode the data with error correction codes to provide encoded data, modulate a radio frequency (rf) signal that includes a plurality of sub-carriers with the encoded data to provide a data-modulated rf signal (e.g., an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (ofdm) signal), and transmit the data-modulated rf signal to the stationary portion via a wireless data transformer. the wireless data transformer includes a first conductive structure in the stationary portion and a second conductive structure in the rotating portion. the first and second conductive structures are inductively coupled together across the gap.

20250130569. VIBROMETRY-BASED BEHAVIOR PREDICTION FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE APPLICATIONS_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)

Inventor(s): Nicholas Armstrong-Crews of Mountain View CA US for waymo llc, Bryce Remesch of Hollis NH US for waymo llc

IPC Code(s): G05D1/00, G06N20/00, G08G1/01, G08G1/052

CPC Code(s): G05D1/0221

Abstract: aspects and implementations of the present disclosure enabling predictions of a motion change in a moving vehicle, predictions of an onset of a motion of an idling vehicle, and classification of vehicles based, at least in part, on vibrometry data obtained using light detection and ranging devices.
