Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and systems for dynamically detecting and tracking objects in an environment of an autonomous vehicle. In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving image data from sensors of the autonomous vehicle, the image data comprising a plurality of images representative of objects in a field of view of the autonomous vehicle; detecting the objects in the plurality of images through an object detector; generating image embeddings for the objects detected in the plurality of images; determining similarity scores of the image embeddings of the objects that are detected in images received from two or more different sensors; identifying the objects that are detected in the images received from the two or more different sensors as a candidate object for tracking, if the objects have a similarity score of the image embeddings equal to or greater than a threshold value; and initializing a track for the candidate object.

Abstract: This invention relates to an additive comprising a functional group derived from a first hydrocarbyl-substituted acylating agent and a functional group derived from a second hydrocarbyl-substituted acylating agent, where the functional groups are coupled by a functional group derived from an alkylene glycol. The invention also relates to an emulsifier component prepared by a process that utilizes the described additive and converts it to an emulsifier component by reacting it with a neutralizing component. The invention also relates to a process of making the described emulsifier component, and a method of customizing an emulsifier component in a composition by using the described additive and the described process for converting it to the described emulsifier component.

Abstract: Polymeric polyol ester additives for metal working applications are described that have lower pour points and improved solubility in API Group II and III basestocks. The polymeric polyol ester contains linear monocarboxylic acid, alkanedioic acid, alk(en)yl substituted succinic acid or anhydride, trihydric alcohol and pentaerythritol.

Abstract: An improved stop-leak formulation containing ground plant root material, glycol, and water is provided. The formulation can contain other additives such as corrosion inhibitors, lubricating agents, and the like. The stop-leak formulations exhibit significantly improved storage stability. Over extended storage periods, the plant root powder remains readily dispersible in the glycol/water mixture. Generally the stop-leak formulations contain 1 to 50 parts by weight plant root powder, 20 to 80 parts by weight glycol, and 100 parts by weight water. One preferred stop-leak formulation contains 15 to 30 parts by weight ginger root powder, 35 to 55 parts by weight diethylene glycol, and 100 parts by weight water.
