Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for electrical power conservation during braking for autonomous or assisted driving vehicles, such as when electrical currents are continuously supplied to the brake system when the vehicle is temporarily halted at a slope. Braking hysteresis is the relationship between the input (e.g., operating pressure, caused by an electrical motor to increase the fluid pressures in the brake system) and the output (e.g., braking pressure applied by the brake pads on the rotors), in which the change of the output is different during the increase of the input and during the decrease of the input. The present disclosure provides techniques for conserving electrical power consumption by using the brake hysteresis.

Abstract: To provide more test data during the manufacture of non-volatile memories and other integrated circuits, machine learning is used to generate virtual test values. Virtual test results are interpolated for one set of tests for devices on which the test is not performed based on correlations with other sets of tests. In one example, machine learning determines a correlation study between bad block values determined at die sort and photo-limited yield (PLY) values determined inline during processing. The correlation can be applied to interpolate virtual inline PLY data for all of the memory dies, allowing for more rapid feedback on the processing parameters for manufacturing the memory dies and making the manufacturing process more efficient and accurate. In another set of embodiments, the machine learning is used to extrapolate limited metrology (e.g., critical dimension) test data to all of the memory die through interpolated virtual metrology data values.
