Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting objects near an autonomous vehicle (AV) are disclosed. An AV will capture an image. A trained network will process the image at a lower resolution and generate a first feature map that classifies object(s) within the image. The system will crop the image and use the network to process the cropped section at a higher resolution to generate a second feature map that classifies object(s) that appear within the cropped section. The system will crop the first feature map to match a corresponding region of the cropped section of the image. The system will fuse the cropped first and second feature maps to generate a third feature map. The system may output the object classifications in the third feature map to an AV system, such as a motion planning system that will use the object classifications to plan a trajectory for the AV.

Abstract: A hydraulic door closer capable of reducing oil-pressure therein at high temperature, comprises a housing with an oil chamber, an oil storage cavity, and a piston in the housing of the hydraulic door closer. The oil storage cavity is in communication with the oil chamber; when the oil temperature increases, hydraulic oil in the oil chamber and oil storage cavity generates an increased oil pressure move the piston, whereby volume of the oil storage cavity is enlarged, such that oil from the chamber will flow into the cavity, to reduce the oil pressure of the chamber and cavity. When the oil temperature decreases, the oil pressure in the chamber and cavity is reduced, whereby the storage piston restores its original position, whereby volume of the cavity will be reduced, and the oil in the cavity flows back into the chamber. The pressure in the oil chamber is reduced when the hydraulic oil expands due to increased temperature to prevent failure of the seal and to avoid hydraulic oil leakage.
