Abstract: A method to determine a probability of a first vehicle crossing a traffic light in green phase is disclosed. The method may include obtaining information associated with a green light duration, first vehicle information, and second vehicle information. The first vehicle information may include historical rate of change of speed profile associated with the first vehicle, and the second vehicle information may include a first time duration required by the second vehicle to cross the traffic light. The method may further include estimating a second time duration required by the first vehicle to cross the traffic light based on the first and second vehicle information, and comparing the second estimated time duration with the green light duration. The method may include determining a probability of the first vehicle crossing the traffic light in the green light duration based on the comparison, and transmitting a notification to indicate the probability.

Abstract: Desalination of produced water is performed by pre-treatment of produced water to reduce pH, whereupon the reduced pH produced water is fed into desalination unit thereby producing high-quality desalinated water and also increasing the longevity of desalination unit by not clogging filters of the desalination unit. The method can be coupled with any desalination unit on site, thus allowing flexibility in application.

Abstract: A technique is described herein for receiving a selected set of weights and a mask produced by any type of sparsification process by operating on an original set of weights. The mask describes positions of the selected set of weights and a non-selected set of weights among a combined set of weights. For example, the non-selected set of weights represent weights that have been zeroed out in the original set of weights. In an inference stage, a processor directly performs computations on the selected set of weights and the mask, without the preliminary step of reconstituting the non-selected weights in memory. Instead, the processor performs computations that take into account the influence of the non-selected weights. The technique is efficient because it reduces the consumption of memory during the execution of the machine-trained model, and reduces the transactional costs associated with moving weights between memory and processing functionality.

Abstract: A planar multilayer transformer in a power converter wherein winding arrangements and placement of shields reduces common mode noise to a level wherein the common mode inductor in an input EMI filter can be reduced and even eliminated decreasing the power dissipation and increasing the power density. The methods presented herein can reduce the number of layers in the multilayer PCB by eliminating the layers used for the shields and still be in full compliance with EMI requirements.
