Abstract: A vehicular trailer assist system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU), which includes an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera. The ECU executes a deep neural network (DNN) to determine presence of a trailer in image data captured by the camera. The DNN, responsive to processing of image data captured by the camera, determines a position of a trailer in the captured image data. The DNN, responsive to determining the position of the trailer, classifies the trailer into a trailer category. The ECU, responsive to the DNN determining the position of the trailer and based on the classification, generates an output to autonomously control the vehicle to align the vehicle with the trailer and navigate the vehicle toward the trailer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for an active emissive layer configured for use in an electroluminescent device. The active emissive layer includes a host-guest blend in which the host includes a perovskite (e.g., CsPbBr3, CsPbCl3, and/or CsPbI3) and the guest includes quantum shells (QSs) embedded in the host. The QSs include a quantum-confined, spheroidal shell that is a first semiconductor (e.g., CdSe) sandwiched between a core and an outer layer that are a wider band gap semiconductor (e.g., CdS).
