Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods to obtain feedback descriptive of autonomous vehicle failures. In particular, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can detect that a vehicle failure event occurred at an autonomous vehicle and, in response, provide an interactive user interface that enables a human located within the autonomous vehicle to enter feedback that describes the vehicle failure event. Thus, the systems and methods of the present disclosure can actively prompt and/or enable entry of feedback in response to a particular instance of a vehicle failure event, thereby enabling improved and streamlined collection of information about autonomous vehicle failures.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to state-based autonomous-vehicle operations. In particular, the methods, devices, and systems of the present disclosure can: determine, based at least in part on one or more actions of a passenger associated with a trip of an autonomous vehicle, a current state of the trip from amongst a plurality of different predefined states of the trip; identify, based at least in part on the current state of the trip, one or more computing devices associated with the passenger; generate, based at least in part on the current state of the trip, data describing one or more interfaces for display by the computing device(s) associated with the passenger; and communicate, to the computing device(s) associated with the passenger, the data describing the interface(s) for display.

Abstract: A monolithic integrated circuit device may include a supply voltage glitch detector for detecting improper supply voltage conditions. Advantageously, the detection threshold of the supply voltage glitch detector is adaptively set based on the mode of operation of the device or a particular part of the device, which is internally known to the device based on certain inputs received by the device, such as commands, interrupts, control signals, and so forth.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory (NVM) device includes an NVM array, which is configured to store data, and control logic. The control logic is configured to receive data values for storage in the NVM array, and to write at least some of the received data values to the NVM array and simultaneously to write complements of the at least some of the received data values.

Abstract: Described herein are retention systems comprising an elastic member coupled to at least one securing member, a centrifuge bucket, and at least one item in the centrifuge bucket. The elastic member is attachable to at least two points on said centrifuge bucket thereby retaining the at least one item within the centrifuge bucket. Methods of using these systems are also described.

Abstract: An apparatus for an airplane or other equipment is provided. The apparatus may comprise a multitude of connected arms which are adapted to rotate relative to one another. One end of the apparatus may be connected to a fixed wing, while another end of the apparatus may be connected to a moving slat. The apparatus may be used to deliver conduit from the fixed wing to the moving slat. The conduit may comprise one or more of an electrical de-icing wire, a sensor wire, a control wire, a fiber optic line, and a pneumatic line. Within an internal pathway of the apparatus, the conduit may be freely looped around a curved surface at least one-half turn and fixedly secured to a linear surface. Methods of use and assembly are also provided.
