Abstract: A passenger may be rather vulnerable to safety risks during pickup and/or drop-off of a passenger by a vehicle. To mitigate or eliminate such risk, the vehicle may determine an endpoint for a vehicle route to pickup or drop-off a passenger at a location. The vehicle may determine an estimated path between the endpoint and the location and may determine a safety confidence score by a machine-learned model for the estimated path and/or may predict a trajectory of a detected object to ascertain whether the estimated path is safe. The vehicle may execute any of a number of different mitigation actions to reduce or eliminate a safety risk if one is detected.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a preparation method and use of a pyrazole compound containing 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-?-carboline unit. The pyrazole compound is prepared by reacting pyrazole aldehyde and 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-?-carboline acylhydrazine. The pyrazole compound containing 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-?-carboline unit has good inhibitory activity against tumor cell HGC-27. The pyrazole compound could be used in the preparation of anti-tumor drugs.

Abstract: Techniques for determining parking spaces and/or parking trajectories for a vehicle based on multistage filtering are discussed herein. In some examples, a vehicle may navigate to a destination within an environment. The vehicle may receive a set of parking locations and perform filtering operations to determine a subset of the parking locations. For example, the vehicle may use a list of parking characteristics (e.g., conditions) to filter the set of parking spaces. Based on determining the subset of parking spaces, the vehicle may generate a set of candidate trajectories to the subset of parking spaces. The vehicle may determine a subset of the candidate trajectories based on filtering the set of candidate trajectories according to various constraints. Further, the vehicle may determine a cost for the subset of candidate trajectories. Based on the costs, the vehicle may determine a candidate trajectory for the vehicle to follow.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a parking trajectory for a vehicle are discussed herein. A parking management component may determine or receive a three-dimensional grid (“grid”), discretized based at least in part on a heading offset, a lateral offset, and/or a longitudinal offset between a first and second pose. A cell of the grid may include a cost associated indicating a minimum difference to the second pose when moving from the first as may be limited based on kinematic and/or dynamic constraints. When driving, a vehicle may determine a relative state of the vehicle to a desired location, use the relative state to access a cost from the grid, and determine whether to follow a trajectory based on the cost.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses a penetrating cushion damping device comprising a penetrator, and belongs to the field of in-situ penetrating exploration of extraterrestrial celestial bodies. A magnetic conductor encloses the non-penetrating end of the penetrator, a drag plate connected to the penetrator is provided at the lower end face of the magnetic conductor, and a magnetic source structure for generating magnetic force on the magnetic conductor is provided in the non-penetrating end of the penetrator. The disclosure utilizes the penetrating cushion anti-drag mode with the drag plate and the electromagnetic structure, which is self-adaptive to the flight penetration speed and compact in structure, reduces the jump probability, and further reduces the cushion resistance after the speed is reduced.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for autonomous vehicles to determine driving paths and associated trajectories through unstructured or off-route driving environments. When an object is detected within a driving environment, a vehicle may determine a cost-based side association for the object. Various costs may be used in different examples, including costs based on a cost plot and/or motion primitives that may vary for terminal and non-terminal desired destinations (or ending vehicle states). Using tree searches to determine estimated candidate costs, the autonomous vehicle may compare right-side and left-side driving path costs around the object to determine a side association for the object. Based on the side association, the autonomous vehicle may determine an updated planning corridor and/or a trajectory to control the vehicle from a current state to a desired ending vehicle state.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a parking trajectory for an autonomous vehicle. In some examples, a vehicle may navigate to a destination within an environment. The vehicle may receive parking locations proximate the destination, and determine a cost for navigating to each parking location, or multiple locations within a parking space. Each of multiple trajectories may include desired state(s) that represent the desired state information of the vehicle at a specific locations along the trajectory. The vehicle may determine a cost for the trajectory by comparing the predicted pose of the vehicle at the parking state to the target pose of the parking location. The vehicle may follow the trajectory based on the cost.

Abstract: Digital fingerprints include data indicative of interior features or structures of an object. The physical object may be rigid or malleable. The digital fingerprints may also include data indicative of features on an exterior surface of the object. Digital fingerprints may uniquely identify an object with respect to other objects, even with respect to other objects of a same type or class of objects. The technology may be relatively invariant to changes in scale, rotation, affine, homography, perspective, and illumination as between a reference digital fingerprint and a later acquired or generated digital fingerprint. Digital fingerprints may be used to authenticate an object as being a second instance or appearance of a previously digitally fingerprinted object.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling a vehicle to select parking spaces are discussed herein. The vehicle may receive a request to travel to a destination and obtain information about a first set and a second set of parking spaces within a threshold distance of the destination. The vehicle may determine a first likelihood of availability associated with the first set of parking spaces and a second likelihood of availability associated with the second set of parking spaces. The vehicle may determine a first cost associated with a first route to the first set of parking spaces and a second cost associated with a second route to the second set of parking spaces by the cost function. Upon determining that the first cost is equal to or less than the second cost, the vehicle may navigate based on the first route and park within one of the first set of parking spaces.
