Abstract: A power generation prediction system using a first and second neural networks is provided, and the first neural network is connected to the second neural network. The first neural network receives first input data, and generates the amount prediction data according to the first input data. The first input data is used to determine amount prediction data, and the amount prediction data is used to determine power generation prediction data. The second neural network receives the amount prediction data, and calculates the power generation prediction data according to the amount prediction data. When a device in a selected area is deteriorated or reinstalled, the second neural network is fine-tuned and trained again. The power generation prediction data is a power generation prediction bound having a maximum and minimum power generation prediction values, and thus the power deployment terminal in a power grid can deploy power more precisely.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to controlling one or more vehicle systems based on a determined weather condition. In some embodiments, a radar system can be mounted on a vehicle and can collect weather data by receiving electromagnetic signals. A weather condition can be determined based on the collected weather data, and a vehicle system can be controlled based on the determined weather condition, such as vehicle lighting, windscreen wipers, or cruise control. In some embodiments, weather conditions can include fog, sleet, or smog. The weather condition can be determined by analyzing scattered reflections from incident microwaves and/or radio waves to determine a level of attenuation of the scattered electromagnetic energy indicative of a presence or absence of particles. A map can be displayed displaying the weather condition and controlling vehicle navigation systems. The collected weather data can be compared with data from a LiDAR or camera system for reliability.

Abstract: Techniques for efficient operation of a linear stage in an H-bridge system are provided. In an example, a linear stage can switch between voltage regulation and current regulation over a range of a command signal. The particular regulation mode can depend on the regulation mode of a switched stage of the H-bridge system. Efficiency can be realized by using current regulation of the linear stage when the output voltage of the linear stage moves away from the voltage of a supply rail. Such a control scheme can reduce the voltage across the linear stage for a larger range of the command signal resulting in less heat dissipation of the linear stage compared to conventional control of H-bridge linear stages.
