Abstract: The present invention relates in general to systems and methods for classifying target information acquired with a sensor. In particular, the systems and methods relate to integrating relative orientations of the target information into evidential reasoning heuristics that are used to classify the target information. An exemplary system for classifying target information includes: an initial classification subsystem for determining an initial classification of the target information; a tracking subsystem for identifying a relative orientation of the target information in relation to a predefined reference; and a weighted classification determination subsystem for generating a classification of the target information based on said initial classification and said relative orientation.

Abstract: A system for controlling pressure in a transmission comprises a transmission control unit, a valve controller that receives a desired pressure as input from the transmission control unit, a valve driver, a valve that regulates an amount of fluid in a transmission clutch, and a pressure transducer that reads a pressure in the transmission clutch and outputs a pressure reading to the valve controller, wherein the valve controller comprises logic for outputting to the valve driver an instruction for controlling the valve, the instruction being formulated using the desired pressure and the pressure reading.
