Abstract: Systems and methods to perform noise-adaptive non-blind deblurring on an input image that includes blur and noise involve implementing a first neural network on the input image to obtain one or more parameters and performing regularized deconvolution to obtain a deblurred image from the input image. The regularized deconvolution uses the one or more parameters to control noise in the deblurred image. A method includes implementing a second neural network to remove artifacts from the deblurred image and provide an output image.

Abstract: A differential assembly include a housing defining an oil sump, a differential disposed in the housing, and a thermal-management system. The system includes an oil pump in fluid communication with the sump, a spool valve having an inlet connected to the pump, a first outlet, a second outlet, and a spool slidable to a first position in which the inlet is in fluid communication with the first outlet and to a second position in which the inlet is in fluid communication with the second outlet. The spool valve further has a chamber containing wax configured to move the spool according to a temperature of the wax such that the spool is in the first position when the temperature of the wax is within a first temperature range and is in the second position when the temperature of the wax is within a second temperature range.
Abstract: A fuel quality sensor can include a pump with a suction side and a pressure side for pumping fuel along a fuel flow path between an underground reservoir and a nozzle of a fuel dispensing unit; a first transmitter disposed at the suction side of the pump on a first side of a bypass plenum in fluid communication with the fuel flow path, the first transmitter configured to transmit a first light signal at a first predetermined frequency in the bypass plenum; a receiver disposed at the suction side of the pump on a second side of the bypass plenum and configured to receive the first light signal; and a control unit electrically connected to the first transmitter and the receiver and configured to determine at least one parameter of the fuel present in the fuel flow path based on the received first light signal at the first predetermined frequency.

Abstract: A system for managing liquid leakage comprises a fluid module, which includes a supply fluid connector to receive cooling fluid from a rack manifold coupled to an external fluid source and to supply the cooling fluid to an information technology (IT) load of the server chassis, and a return fluid connector to receive cooling fluid from the IT load of the server chassis and to return the cooling fluid to the rack manifold and then to the external fluid source, forming a fluid loop, packaged with different energy storage units. When a liquid leakage is detected by a sensor in the server chassis, an electromagnetic unit coupled to the supply and return fluid connectors causes the first fluid connector to be pushed away from the rack manifold to disconnect the fluid loop on a supply side, and causes the return fluid connector to be disconnected from the rack manifold on a return side after a predetermined period of time after the supply fluid connector has been disconnected.
Abstract: A fluid sensor system comprises a radio frequency transmitter with adjustable output power, a radio frequency detector proximal to the radio frequency transmitter; a constant current source, and a switch coupled between the radio frequency detector and the constant current source. A method of determining the identity of a fluid using the fluid sensor system includes immersing the sensor system in a first fluid, increasing a transmit power of a radio frequency (RF) transmitter of the fluid sensor system until an RF signal is detected by a RF detector of the fluid sensor system, and determining the transmit power of the RF transmitter that first resulted in a detection of the RF signal by the RF detector to be the transmit power that is required for detecting the RF signal in the first fluid.

Abstract: While operating a vehicle on a travel path, a width of the travel path is determined based on a map. Upon detecting a presence or an absence of a target vehicle in the travel path, a lateral position for the vehicle on the travel path is determined based on the width of the travel path and the presence or absence of the target vehicle. The vehicle is controlled to operate according to the determined lateral position on the travel path and a speed of the vehicle that is based on the determined lateral position on the travel path.
