Abstract: A motor vehicle provides wireless charging to a mobile wireless device outside of the vehicle. After a request by a person outside the vehicle, a wireless power transmitter initiates remote charging of the mobile wireless device. A vehicle controller is configured to respond to the charging request by (A) attempting one or more times to communicate with the mobile wireless device until a link is established, (B) before the link is established then activating the wireless power transmitter to remotely charge the mobile wireless device, (C) when the link is established then determining whether the mobile wireless device corresponds to a pre-established communal group, and (D) deactivating the wireless power transmitter when the mobile wireless device does not correspond to a pre-established communal group. Consequently, the power reserve in a vehicle battery is protected against depletion.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and system for seamless tracking of an asset across indoor and outdoor environments by utilizing tags affixed on assets and anchor nodes deployed across a facility. Each anchor node emits heartbeat signals that are received by neighboring anchor nodes that comprise information pertaining to coordinates and timestamp of anchor nodes. A data acquisition module receives processed data from each tag to listen to heartbeat signals being shared. A tracking module determines live positional information of the asset based on data retrieved from the data acquisition module. The tracking module, by utilizing predictive positioning algorithms, detects an indoor location of each tag affixed on the asset using a UWB chipset and detects an outdoor location of each tag affixed on an asset using a GNSS chipset.

Abstract: Vector-scaled hierarchical codebook quantization reduces precision (bitwidth) vectors of parameters and may enable energy-efficient acceleration of deep neural networks. A vector (block array) comprises one or more parameters within a single dimension of a multi-dimensional tensor (or kernel). For example, block array comprises 4 sub-vectors (blocks) and each sub-vector comprises 8 parameters. The parameters may be represented in integer, floating-point, or any other suitable format. A vector cluster quantization technique is used to quantize blocks of parameters in real-time. Hardware circuitry within a datapath identifies an optimal codebook of a plurality of codebooks for quantizing each block of parameters and the block is encoded using the identified codebook. During processing, the identified codebook is used to obtain the quantized parameter and perform computations at the reduced precision.
