Patent Applications by Waymo LLC
Inventor(s): Timothy Alexander Buchert of Mountain View CA (US) for waymo llc, David James Smith of Mountain View CA (US) for waymo llc, Juan Manual Gomez-Ramos of Mountain View CA (US) for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): B60T8/92, B60T8/17, B60T8/32, B60T8/88, B60T13/68, B60T17/22
CPC Code(s): B60T8/92
Abstract: example embodiments relate to triple redundant brake systems for trucks and other types of vehicles. disclosed systems offer additional redundancy for braking applications by incorporating a third service brake actuator (e.g., a third ecu), which may be installed parallel to the second controller (e.g., a second ecu). in some examples, the third service brake actuator is an electronically activatable pressure valve and can be implemented using pneumatic select-high valves. these valves can be used to perform a mechanical max arbitration between pressure provided by the second controller and the third controller.

IPC Code(s): H05K1/18, G01S7/481, G01S7/484, G01S17/931, H05K1/11
CPC Code(s): H05K1/181
Abstract: example embodiments relate to transmitter charging modules for light detection and ranging (lidar) devices. an example embodiment includes a method. the method includes receiving, from a controller, an indication of a first set of light emitters to be fired during a firing cycle. the first set of light emitters is a subset of a plurality of light emitters of the lidar device. the method also includes selectively charging, by a charging circuit of the lidar device during a charging cycle, a first set of energy storage devices of the lidar device. additionally, the method includes refraining from charging, by the charging circuit of the lidar device during the charging cycle, each energy storage device in the plurality of energy storage devices that is not in the first set of energy storage devices. further, the method includes emitting light signals from the first set of light emitters during the firing cycle.
