Abstract: The present invention is directed to an trailer coupling assembly for connection to a trailer tongue. The trailer coupling assembly includes an attachment bracket configured to attach to a trailer tongue. A trailer coupler, which is configured to attach to a tow ball, is pivotally connected to the attachment bracket.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for performing an obstacle detection for an ADV includes detecting an obstacle by a primary ADS and a secondary ADS using an obstacle detection algorithm based on sensor data provided by sensors on the ADV. In response to detecting the obstacle, a first controlled stop distance and a second controlled stop distance are calculated by the primary ADS and secondary ADS respectively based on a speed and a deceleration capability of the ADV. The first and second controlled stop distances between the primary ADS and secondary ADS are exchanged to determine a third controlled stop distance which is the maximum of the two. In response to determining that the ADV reaches within the third controlled distance between the ADV and the obstacle, a controlled stop operation is activated by the primary ADS to decelerate the ADV based on the third controlled stop distance.

Abstract: Described herein is a system and method of journaling of a streaming anchor resource. An input node can store a value of a property associated with the streaming data in a persistent indexed data structure. The input node can generate an anchor that describes a particular point in time in a data stream. The anchor can include an index into the persistent indexed data structure of the stored value of the property associated with the streaming data. The generated anchor and streaming data can be provided to the downstream node. During recovery of a downstream node, the input node can utilize a received anchor to retrieve a value of a property associated with the streaming data from the persistent indexed data structure, and, provide a batch of data based upon the received anchor and the retrieved property value.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes an apparatus that receives a dataset with values associated with different digital resources captured from a group of compute devices. The apparatus includes a feature extractor, to generate a set of feature vectors, each feature vector from the set of feature vectors associated with a set of data included in the received dataset. The apparatus uses the set of feature vectors to validate multiple machine learning models trained to determine whether a digital resource is associated with a cyberattack. The apparatus selects at least one active machine learning model and sets the remaining trained machine learning models to operate in an inactive mode. The active machine learning model generates a signal to alert a security administrator, blocks a digital resource from loading at a compute device, or executes other remedial action, upon a determination that the digital resource is associated with a cyberattack.
