  • Publication number: 20240375684
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for selecting a pull-over location using machine learning. One of the methods includes obtaining data specifying a target pull-over location for an autonomous vehicle travelling on a roadway. A plurality of candidate pull-over locations in a vicinity of the target pull-over location are identified. For each candidate pull-over location, an input that includes features of the candidate pull-over location is processed using a machine learning model to generate a respective likelihood score representing a predicted likelihood that the candidate pull-over location is an optimal location. The features of the candidate pull-over location include one or more features that compare the candidate pull-over location to the target pull-over location. Using the respective likelihood scores, one of the candidate pull-over locations is selected as an actual pull-over location for the autonomous vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240351662
    Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a disk braking system for a bicycle having a rear disk coupled to a rear wheel. A rear brake caliper is coupled to a rear brake lever and the rear brake caliper is also coupled to a hydraulic actuator which has a piston that slides within a cylinder filled with hydraulic fluid and hydraulic tubing coupled to the cylinder and a front brake. When the rear wheel and rear disk are rotating, the rear brake caliper can be actuated which causes compresses rear brake caliper against the rear disk to slow the rotation of the rear wheel. The movement of the rear brake caliper can actuate the hydraulic actuator which causes hydraulic fluid to flow through the hydraulic tubing to actuate a front brake.

  • Publication number: 20240345555
    Abstract: A method comprises measuring a light intensity at a window; determining if the light intensity exceeds a cloudy-day threshold; operating in a sunlight penetration limiting mode to control the motorized window treatment to control the sunlight penetration distance in the space; enabling the sunlight penetration limiting mode if the light intensity is greater than the cloudy-day threshold; and disabling the sunlight penetration limiting mode if the total lighting intensity is less than the cloudy-day threshold. The cloudy-day threshold is maintained at a constant threshold if a calculated solar elevation angle is greater than a predetermined solar elevation angle, and the cloudy-day threshold varies with time if the calculated solar elevation angle is less than the predetermined solar elevation angle. The cloudy-day threshold is a function of the calculated solar elevation angle if the calculated solar elevation angle is less than the predetermined solar elevation angle.
