  • Publication number: 20230083968
    Abstract: A vehicle configured to execute one or more methods for detecting function of a charging receptacle during a charging cycle. The methods include supplying a charging current through the pins; monitoring a pin temperature of the pins during the charging current; and applying a first step function to the charging current. The methods may also include monitoring a first step change in the pin temperature during the first step function; comparing the first step change in the pin temperature to a first expected temperature change to create a first deviation; and comparing the first deviation to a predetermined threshold. If the first deviation exceeds the predetermined threshold, signaling a maintenance alert, and if the first deviation is less than the predetermined threshold, logging the first deviation.

  • Publication number: 20230083335
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that provide a natural language processing system (NLPS) that employs compressed word embeddings. An auto-encoder that includes encoder circuitry and decoder circuitry can be used to produce the compressed word embeddings. The decoder circuitry is trained to decompress the word embeddings with reduced or minimal differences between the original uncompressed word embeddings and the corresponding decompressed word embeddings. One or more parameters of the trained decoder circuitry are transferred to the NLPS, where the NLPS is then trained using the compressed word embeddings to improve the correctness of the responses or actions determined by the NLPS.

  • Publication number: 20230085209
    Abstract: A website is navigated automatically in a sequential manner, for example by performing a series of specific network requests in a specified order, without necessarily using a browser, and without necessarily rendering each web page in the sequence. Interactions with a website are automatically recorded, stored, and analyzed. Requests and responses can be associated with particular input/output operations. Based on the analysis, the system can determine what data is expected by web servers, so that it can effectively simulate browser operations in connection with those web servers, and extract useful information from the data received in response to those operations. Thus, data extraction and/or other operations can be performed more efficiently and more quickly, while reducing the computing resources needed.

  • Publication number: 20230081623
    Abstract: For a non-volatile memory that uses hard bit and soft bit data in error correction operations, to reduce the amount of soft bit data that needs to be transferred from a memory to the controller and improve memory system performance, the soft bit data can be compressed before transfer. After the soft bit data is read and stored into the internal data latches associated with the sense amplifiers, it is compressed within these internal data latches. The compressed soft bit data can then be transferred to the transfer data latches of a cache buffer, where the compressed soft bit data can be consolidated and transferred out over an input-output interface. Within the input-output interface, the compressed data can be reshuffled to put into logical user data order if needed.

  • Publication number: 20230083583
    Abstract: The reported method identifies the likelihood that a heritable sequence in a plant is to be passed onto subsequent generations. One or more genome edits are introduced into a plant cell and the gnomic DNA of the resulting plant is analyzed to determine the frequency of the one or more genome edits in the sample. Edits that are present in a quantity above a reference cutoff are considered to have a high likelihood of being heritable and capable of being passed on to subsequent generations. Edits that are present in low quantities are considered to have a low likelihood of being passed on. Plants containing desirable genome edits that are likely to be heritable are then used for cultivation and propagation.
