The vehicle includes one or more processors; a tile floor system connected to the one or more processors, the tile floor system comprising a plurality of tiles with actuators that individually move containers thereon, and in a first arrangement a first tile is associated with a first container; at least one imaging device; and a memory. The processors determine an identifier for a package, receive first image data associated with the package from the imaging device, determine a first association of the package with the first container based on the first image data, determine a first delivery route that includes a first stop associated with the identifier for the package, and rearrange the containers by the tile floor system into a second arrangement based on the first delivery route prior to the first stop of the first delivery route.

Abstract: A marker system includes an enclosure with a controller therewithin. Emitters are electrically interfaced to the controller and include visible wavelength emitters and infrared wavelength emitters. The controller is configured to selectively initiate a flow of electric current though the visible wavelength emitters or through the infrared wavelength emitters causing the visible wavelength emitters or the infrared wavelength emitters to emit light and the light passes through the enclosure. There is at least one infrared detector, each of which is electrically interfaced to the controller and each of which is configured to detect infrared light that enters the enclosure. When the controller receives an electrical signal from any of the at least one infrared detector indicating reception of infrared light, the controller emits a signal to warn of the reception of infrared light (e.g., an audible signal, a vibration, a wireless signal, a wired signal).

Abstract: Exemplary air amplifiers described herein can utilize a high-pressure stream of gas to accelerate a low-velocity stream of gas to provide a high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas. This high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas can generate unwanted noise as the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas propagates through the air amplifier. The exemplary air amplifiers described herein can include a multi-stage noise suppression system to suppress, for example, diminish, re-tune, or even completely cancel, the unwanted noise as the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas propagates through these exemplary air amplifiers. The multi-stage noise suppression system can include one or more absorption materials to passively suppress the unwanted noise generated by the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas. The multi-stage noise suppression system described herein can generate one or more noise suppression waves to actively suppress the unwanted noise generated by the high-velocity, high-volume stream of gas.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a set of control parameter data associated with a base station of a 5G multi-access edge computing and core network. In particular, the disclosed technology is directed to use a deep reinforcement-based learning (DRL) model to iteratively reinforce and improve the set of control parameter data at the base station. The DRL model determines the set of control parameter data as action based on a current set of network state data as state, according a set of target conditions used as rewards. A DRL server periodically receives network state data from the base station through a radio access network intelligent controller (RIC). Given the network state data, the DRL model determines control parameter data as output. The DRL server transmits the control parameter data to the base station via RIC. The periodic reinforcement-based learning dynamically improves a network performance of the base station.

Abstract: Techniques for an unmanned ariel vehicle (UAV) having a closed-loop controller that is gain scheduled based on a trained machine learning model. The closed-loop controller could be a PID controller. Real-time data pertaining to the motor being controlled is input to the trained machine learning model. Examples of the real-time data includes, but is not limited to, motor current, motor voltage, and an estimate of motor thrust. The trained machine learning model may also input an error term of the closed-loop controller. Tuning constants for the closed-loop controller are derived based on the prediction from the machine learning model. Gain scheduling for the closed-loop controller may thus be performed “online” while the UAV continues on its mission. Controller gain scheduling may be performed to account for changes in a payload carried by the UAV.

Abstract: Approaches to selection of motion vector (“MV”) precision during video encoding are presented. These approaches can facilitate compression that is effective in terms of rate-distortion performance and/or computational efficiency. For example, a video encoder determines an MV precision for a unit of video from among multiple MV precisions, which include one or more fractional-sample MV precisions and integer-sample MV precision. The video encoder can identify a set of MV values having a fractional-sample MV precision, then select the MV precision for the unit based at least in part on prevalence of MV values (within the set) having a fractional part of zero. Or, the video encoder can perform rate-distortion analysis, where the rate-distortion analysis is biased towards the integer-sample MV precision. Or, the video encoder can collect information about the video and select the MV precision for the unit based at least in part on the collected information.

Abstract: A click-to-script service enables developers of big-data job scripts to quickly see the underlying script operations from optimized execution plans. Once a big-data job is received, the disclosed examples compile it and generate tokens that are associated with each operation of the big-data job. These tokens include may include the file name of the job, the line number of the operation, and/or an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) node for the given operations. An original execution plan is optimized into an optimized execution plan, and the tokens for the original operations of the job script are assigned to the optimized operations of the optimized execution plan. The optimized execution plan is graphically displayed in an interactive manner such that users may view the optimized execution plan and click on its optimized operations to find the original operations of the job script.
