The baseband controller is configured to determine, for each RP communicating with a UE, available channel resources in each of a plurality of subframes. The baseband controller is also configured to determine a least-loaded subframe that has the most available channel resources. The baseband controller is also configured to assign an available channel resource in the least-loaded subframe to the UE.

Abstract: The technology relates to using on-board sensor data, off-board information and a deep learning model to classify road wetness and/or to perform a regression analysis on road wetness based on a set of input information. Such information includes on-board and/or off-board signals obtained from one or more sources including on-board perception sensors, other on-board modules, external weather measurement, external weather services, etc. The ground truth includes measurements of water film thickness and/or ice coverage on road surfaces. The ground truth, on-board and off-board signals are used to build the model. The constructed model can be deployed in autonomous vehicles for classifying/regressing the road wetness with on-board and/or off-board signals as the input, without referring to the ground truth.

Abstract: The engines include compression cylinders, combustion cylinders, an air rail, and a heat exchanger. The methods of operating a compression ignition engine include taking air into a compression cylinder of the engine, compressing the air in the compression cylinder to raise the pressure and temperature of the air, passing the compressed air through a heat exchanger, and from the heat exchanger into a combustion cylinder, further compressing the compressed air during a compression stroke of the combustion cylinder, igniting fuel in the combustion cylinder at or near the end of the compression stroke by compression ignition, followed by a power stroke, and opening an exhaust valve at the end of the power stroke and passing at least some of the exhaust in the combustion cylinder through the heat exchanger to heat air that has been compressed in the compression cylinder and is then passing through the heat exchanger.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for adaptive look-ahead configuration for data prefetching. One method comprises, in response to a request for a data item in a storage system: obtaining a size of a look-ahead window for the request based on one of multiple available caching policies; and moving the requested data item and additional data items within the look-ahead window to the cache memory when the requested data item and/or the additional data items within the look-ahead window are not in the cache memory. The multiple available caching policies comprise a caching policy based on characteristics of an input/output workload of the storage system, or a portion thereof; and/or a caching policy based on an input/output workload of at least a portion of the storage system within a prior predefined time window. The look-ahead window size may be varied over time.

Abstract: A holographic projection system and method are implemented by a projection device provided on the vehicle; a water mist generating device for generating water mist provided on the vehicle; and a controller in communication with the projection device and the water mist generating device. The controller is configured to detect a signal of user proximity to the vehicle, and activate the water mist generating device and the projection device respectively based on the detected signal, so that the projection device projects an image onto the water mist.

Abstract: In one aspect, data characterizing a fuel storage facility can be received from a sensor in operable communication with the fuel storage facility. An estimate of meter drift of a flow meter of a fuel dispenser in fluid communication with the fuel storage facility can be determined based on the received data. The estimate of meter drift can be determined based on at least one predictive model that predicts whether a calibration parameter characterizing a calibration of the flow meter has deviated from a predetermined flow meter calibration parameter. The estimate of meter drift can be provided.
