VEHICLE SENSOR CLEANING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198970 titled 'VEHICLE SENSOR CLEANING
The abstract of a patent application describes a computer system that includes a processor and memory. The memory stores instructions to actuate a cleaning system to spray a sensor according to a cleaning plan, respond to operator input by spraying the sensor, and adjust the cleaning plan based on the operator's input.
- The computer system includes a processor and memory.
- The memory stores instructions for the cleaning system to spray a sensor based on a cleaning plan.
- The system can spray the sensor in response to input from an operator.
- It can adjust the cleaning plan based on the operator's input.
- The technology allows for automated sensor cleaning and customization based on user preferences.
Potential Applications: - Industrial automation for sensor cleaning in manufacturing processes. - Environmental monitoring systems for maintaining sensor accuracy. - Robotics for cleaning sensors in autonomous vehicles.
Problems Solved: - Ensures sensors remain clean and accurate for optimal performance. - Provides a customizable cleaning solution based on user feedback.
Benefits: - Improved sensor performance and accuracy. - Reduced maintenance costs for sensor cleaning. - Enhanced user experience with customizable cleaning plans.
Commercial Applications: Title: Automated Sensor Cleaning System for Industrial Automation This technology can be utilized in various industries such as manufacturing, environmental monitoring, and robotics for efficient sensor maintenance and improved performance. The market implications include increased productivity, reduced downtime, and cost savings on sensor maintenance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system adjust the cleaning plan based on operator input? The system analyzes the operator's feedback on the cleaning process and modifies the cleaning plan accordingly to meet the user's preferences.
2. What are the key features that differentiate this sensor cleaning system from traditional methods? This system offers automated sensor cleaning, customization based on user input, and real-time adjustments to the cleaning plan, setting it apart from manual cleaning processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable to actuate a cleaning system to spray a sensor in accordance with a cleaning plan stored in the memory, actuate the cleaning system to spray the sensor in response to an input from an operator, and adjust the cleaning plan based on the input from the operator to actuate the cleaning system.
