The disclosure is generally directed to a metal foam element configured to provide a multi-purpose functionality to an electrical device in a vehicle. An example apparatus in a vehicle includes a module that houses an electrical device. A metal foam element is attached to the module in a configuration whereby the metal foam element provides a multi-purpose functionality that includes a heat dissipation functionality and an antenna functionality. In an example implementation, the metal foam element is attached to the module in the form of a sheet that is dimensioned to operate as a patch antenna for transmitting and/or receiving a wireless signal associated with the electrical device and to provide a heat dissipation functionality for dissipating heat produced by the electrical device.

An antenna mast structure for a haul truck may include a buttressed frame having a support column and a raised frontal support point. The antenna mast structure may also include a propping element extending from the raised frontal support point and a top frame pivotally secured to the support column and supported at a front side by the propping element.

A method for computing a quality location estimate of a delivery robot by creating an ad-hoc network that can include one or more autonomous delivery vehicles, nearby infrastructure such as 5.sup.th Generation signal transceivers, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) enabled autonomous vehicles, and millimeter-wave device components in Line-Of-Sight (LOS) with any of the above communicating devices. The method can include estimating the quality for localization (e.g., dilution of precision), and steering the robot delivery vehicle via a vehicle-to-anything (V2X) antenna disposed on the robot delivery vehicle and/or repositioning the autonomous delivery vehicle itself to obtain maximum positioning accuracy. The location estimates computed by the vehicle are sent to the delivery robot which then fuses these estimates with its onboard sensor values. The method may assist localization based on a 2D occupancy map to enhance the positioning performance and provides robust localization mechanism without expensive 3D sensors.

A mobile antenna array system has a first baseplate with a first groundplane. An elevated second baseplate defines an elevated second groundplane. A plurality of support antennas are positioned between the first baseplate and the elevated second baseplate. The plurality of support antennas comprise multiple antennas configured to work at different frequencies. The plurality of support antennas are coupled to the first and second baseplates in mechanical connections that provide enhanced stability, tight tolerances, repeatability and low cost through the use of printed circuit boards as substrates for one or more of the antennas and baseplates. An elevated GPS antenna is positioned above the elevated second baseplate in use. The elevated GPS antenna is configured to work within a GPS range of frequencies different from the support antenna ranges of frequencies. The elevated GPS antenna has improved GPS transmissions and the support antennas also have improved positioning and functionality.
