  • Patent number: 11926306
    Abstract: An electronically slip-controllable power braking system for a motor vehicle, in which a controllably drivable pressure generator supplies multiple brake circuits connected in parallel to one another with pressure medium under brake pressure. Each of the brake circuits are separable through existing first control valves from the pressure generator and include second control valves that are connected downstream from the first control valves to control the brake pressure in the wheel brakes, which are connected with the brake circuits. An electronic control unit in the brake circuits has three devices, the third device puts the first control valve of a brake circuit into a passage position if a leakage is established downstream from the second control valve in this brake circuit and if it is established that the pressure generated by the pressure generator has at least approximately reached or exceeded a pressure limit of the first control valve.

  • Publication number: 20230388518
    Abstract: A coding concept for encoding a picture uses a multi-layered convolutional neural network for determining a feature representation of the picture, the feature representation comprising first to third partial representations which have mutually different resolutions. Further, an encoder for encoding a picture determines a quantization of the picture using a polynomial function which provides an estimated distortion associated with the quantization.

  • Publication number: 20230336228
    Abstract: A method of managing wireless communication between electronic devices includes, at a first electronic device, transmitting a first downlink transmission from the first electronic device to a second electronic device and receiving a first response from the second electronic device at the first electronic device, wherein the first response includes a downlink channel quality information (CQI). The method further includes determining a per-subcarrier CQI based at least partially on the downlink CQI and determining an output modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based at least partially on the per-subcarrier CQI. After determining the output MCS, the method includes selecting a selected MCS based at least partially on the output MCS and setting an MCS of the first electronic device to the selected MCS.

  • Publication number: 20230328287
    Abstract: Apparatus (54) for decoding a predetermined block (18) of a picture using intra-prediction, configured to read, from a data stream (12), a mode index (200) using a binarization code (202). The mode index (200) points to one out of a list (204) of matrix-based intra-prediction modes. The apparatus is configured to predict samples (108) of the predetermined block (18) by computing a matrix-vector product (206) between an input vector (102) derived from reference samples (17) in a neighbourhood of the predetermined block (18) and a prediction matrix (19) associated with the matrix-based intra-prediction mode (k) pointed to by the mode index (200) and associating components (210) of an output vector (208) obtained by the matrix-vector product (206) onto sample positions (104) of the predetermined block. The list (204) of matrix-based intra-prediction modes consists of an even number of matrix-based intra-prediction modes.
