  • Patent number: 12077145
    Abstract: The present invention obtains a control system and a control method capable of appropriately suppressing front lift-up of a straddle-type vehicle. In the control system and the control method according to the present invention, damping forces of suspensions and drive power generated to the straddle-type vehicle are controlled. The drive power adjustment control is executed to adjust the drive power generated to the straddle-type vehicle so as to suppress the front lift-up that causes a front wheel of the straddle-type vehicle to lift off from the ground, and initiation timing of the drive power adjustment control is controlled by using a physical quantity to which states of the suspensions are reflected.

  • Patent number: 12078984
    Abstract: A control system and a control method for controlling physical entities to complete tasks within a shared environment. Use is made of a trained resource safety model to predict whether future resource levels of the physical entities satisfy a safe resource level condition, such as a minimum resource level, given previous resource levels and a selection of behaviours for the physical entities. If a respective physical entity is predicted to have a future resource level which does not satisfy the safe resource level condition, the selected behaviour may be modified or replaced, for example by a behaviour which is predicted by the resource safety model to satisfy the safe resource level condition.

  • Patent number: 12072439
    Abstract: A method for generating synthetic measurement data indistinguishable from actual measurement data captured by a first physical measurement modality. The first physical measurement modality is based on emitting an interrogating wave towards an object and recording a reflected wave coming from the object in a manner that allows for a determination of the time-of-flight between the emission of the interrogating beam and the arrival of the reflected wave. The method includes: obtaining a first compressed representation of the synthetic measurement data in a first latent space, wherein this first latent space is associated with a first decoder that is trained to map each element of the first latent space to a record of synthetic measurement data that is indistinguishable from records of actual measurement data of the first physical measurement modality, and applying the first decoder to the first compressed representation, so as to obtain the sought synthetic measurement data.

  • Patent number: 12073667
    Abstract: A method and a device for the mutual monitoring and/or control of a multiplicity of autonomous technical systems which are at least partially interconnected to one another via a communication network is provided. At least one of the autonomous technical systems is embodied as a monitoring autonomous technical system and monitors the operating behaviour of other autonomous technical systems. Since a specified first rule, the monitoring autonomous technical system detects an operating behavior, which is contrary to the rule, of a first autonomous technical system and generates a status message about the operating behavior which is contrary to the rule therefrom. Depending on the evaluation, a control rule is derived for the first autonomous technical system and communicated to a control module which is assigned to the first autonomous technical system. The operating behavior of the first autonomous technical system is controlled on the basis of the control rule.
