  • Patent number: 11984801
    Abstract: A voltage converter is designed to convert an alternating input voltage into a direct output voltage. The voltage converter includes a first sub-converter having a first switch half-bridge, which is coupled to a first pole of the input voltage by a first main coil, and a second sub-converter having a second switch half-bridge, which is coupled to the first pole of the input voltage by a second main coil. In addition, the voltage converter includes a diode half-bridge, which is jointly used by the first sub-converter and the second sub-converter. The voltage converter has a first return coil and a second return coil, which couple a center point of the diode half-bridge to a second pole of the input voltage. The first and second main coils and the first and second return coils form a coupled choke, the coupled choke having a choke core.

  • Patent number: 11981353
    Abstract: In a method for checking an at least semi-autonomous driving mode of a vehicle, intervention data are provided by a plurality of vehicles. The intervention data each represent a human intervention in an at least semi-autonomous driving mode of a vehicle. The intervention data includes sensor data at the time of the intervention and position data for a position at the time of the intervention. In accordance with the intervention data from the plurality of vehicles, a position is determined at which an increased number of vehicles registered a human intervention.

  • Patent number: 11984115
    Abstract: A dialog system and intelligent personal assistant capable of semantic-understanding mapping between user intents and machine services includes an interface to receive a voice or text request from a user. Semantics of the request including at least one of entities, intent, or context are extracted from the user's request. A sequence of action features is selected based on the extracted semantics. A sequence of application programming interfaces (APIs) corresponding to the sequence of action features is then executed to generate a result. An action sequence optimizer may optimize the sequence of action features based on user configuration. The examples provide a technical solution to model a richer semantic-understanding mapping between user intents and available APIs, that will be greatly improving user experience in the spoken dialogue system, as core of personal assistant.
