  • Patent number: 11410551
    Abstract: Techniques described herein include utilizing a mobile device as a proxy receiver for a vehicle such that a driver of the vehicle can be presented driving assistance information based on messages received by the mobile device. The mobile device can determine that it is temporally located with the vehicle. If so, the mobile device can be configured to receive messages from other entities (e.g., vehicles, roadside units, traffic signals, and the like) in a vehicle-to-everything network. On reception, the mobile device may determine whether a received data message is relevant to the vehicle. In response to determining that the data message is, in fact, relevant to the vehicle, the mobile device may provide driving assistance information that is generated based at least in part on the information provided in the received data message.

  • Publication number: 20210287095
    Abstract: A method for operating a low-bitwidth neural network includes converting a first activation to a non-negative value (e.g., absolute value). The first activation has a signed value. The sign of the activation is used to select a weight value. A product of the non-negative activation and the selected weight value is computed to determine a next activation. The next activation is quantized and supplied to a subsequent layer of the low-bitwidth neural network.
