Patent Applications by Waymo LLC
20240248472. Queueing into Pickup and Drop-off Locations_simplified_abstract_(waymo llc)
Inventor(s): John Wesley Dyer of Mountain View CA (US) for waymo llc, Michael Epstein of Danville CA (US) for waymo llc
IPC Code(s): G05D1/00, B60W60/00
CPC Code(s): G05D1/0214
Abstract: aspects of the disclosure provide for controlling an autonomous vehicle to respond to queuing behaviors at pickup or drop-off locations. as an example, a request to pick up or drop off a passenger at a location may be received. the location may be determined to likely have a queue for picking up and dropping off passengers. based on sensor data received from a perception system, whether a queue exists at the location may be determined. once it is determined that a queue exists, it may be determined whether to join the queue to avoid inconveniencing other road users. based on the determination to join the queue, the vehicle may be controlled to join the queue.

IPC Code(s): G09F13/04, G09F9/33, G09F13/22, G09F13/30, G09F21/04
CPC Code(s): G09F13/0413
Abstract: this technology relates to a display mounted messaging system. the display mounted messaging system may include a light emitting diode (led) display attached to a housing of a sensor. the housing of the sensor may rotate. the display mounted messaging system may also include an led controller which is configured to selectively activate and deactivate at least one led in the led display, to provide a message in the direction of an intended recipient.

IPC Code(s): H01Q21/00, H01P3/12, H01P3/16, H01Q1/50, H01Q21/24
CPC Code(s): H01Q21/0006
Abstract: example embodiments relate to a substrate integrated waveguide (siw) with dual circular polarizations. an example siw may include a dielectric substrate and a first metallic layer coupled to a top surface of the dielectric substrate with a through-hole extending through the dielectric substrate and the first metallic layer. the siw also includes a dielectric layer coupled to a top surface of the first metallic layer. a second metallic layer is coupled to a top surface of the dielectric layer. the second metallic layer includes a non-conductive opening, a plurality of feeds with a first end in the non-conductive opening and a second end including a single-ended termination, and an impedance transformer. the siw also includes a third metallic layer coupled to a bottom of the dielectric substrate, and a set of metallic via-holes proximate the non-conductive opening and coupling the second metallic layer to the third metallic layer.
