  • Publication number: 20250111216
    Abstract: In various examples, physical sensor data may be generated by a vehicle in a real-world environment. The physical sensor data may be used to train deep neural networks (DNNs). The DNNs may then be tested in a simulated environment—in some examples using hardware configured for installation in a vehicle to execute an autonomous driving software stack—to control a virtual vehicle in the simulated environment or to otherwise test, verify, or validate the outputs of the DNNs. Prior to use by the DNNs, virtual sensor data generated by virtual sensors within the simulated environment may be encoded to a format consistent with the format of the physical sensor data generated by the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20250103875
    Abstract: Parameters of a first transformer are accessed, and size dimensions of a second transformer that is to be trained and is larger than the first transformer are received. The parameters of the first transformer are linearly transformed using a combination of a width-growth operator and a depth-growth operator, wherein the linear transformation produces a set of new parameters, the set corresponding to the size dimensions of the second transformer. The second transformer is initialized with the set of new parameters.

  • Publication number: 20250001279
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a method and devices for performing multiple measurements of a boxing punch (or a similar push action in other sports). These measurements provide force, acceleration, four types of reaction time, 3D angles, speed, accuracy/precision, rate of force development, straight punch (jab or cross) efficiency, SPR index (Strength, Precision, reaction time) and/or other information. The devices doing the associated measurements, use one or more force sensors and one or more motion sensors embedded in the boxing gloves and/or in the punched (pushed) object (e.g., punching bag or mitts). In case of a flat screen used for punching area and showing an opponent, a set of position sensors can be used to measure the accuracy of the punch (push). The novel methods and devices can be used in a boxing (or pushing) test, assessment, and training activities, also for fitness and exercising games.
