The device includes a transconductor circuit including a first circuit to receive a reference current and a first reference voltage, and to obtain a transconductance based on an auto-generated bias current and the reference current and the first reference voltage, where a value of the transconductance is determined by the reference current and the first reference voltage.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include receiving a plurality of read operations. The read operations are divided into a current set of a sequence of read operations and one or more other sets. The size of the current set is a first number of read operations. An aggressor read operation is selected from the current set. A data integrity scan is performed on a victim of the aggressor and a first indicator of data integrity is determined based on the first data integrity scan. A size of a subsequent set of read operations is set to a second number, which less than the first number, based on the indicator of data integrity.

Abstract: Improved overcurrent detection and mitigation systems, methods, and techniques for a BMS are described herein. A BMS monitor may detect an overcurrent using two different techniques. The first technique may detect an overcurrent based on average power over different, overlapping time periods. The second technique may detect an overcurrent based on determining a modeled junction temperature of a switching device.

Abstract: Multi-object tracking in autonomous vehicles uses both camera data and LiDAR data for training, but not LiDAR data at query time. Thus, no LiDAR sensor is on a piloted autonomous vehicle. Example systems and methods rely on camera 2D object detections alone, rather than 3D annotations. Example systems/methods utilize a single network that is given a camera image as input and can learn both object detection and dense depth in a multimodal regression setting, where the ground truth LiDAR data is used only at training time to compute depth regression loss. The network uses the camera image alone as input at test time (i.e., when deployed for piloting an autonomous vehicle) and can predict both object detections and dense depth of the scene. LiDAR is only used for data acquisition and is not required for drawing 3D annotations or for piloting the vehicle.

The method further includes identifying at least one UE in the SR max retransmission pool that would enter an SR max retransmission state, based on a last PUSCH uplink time period and a SR max retransmission time period associated with the at least one UE. Further, the method includes allocating a dummy UL grant to the identified at least one UE.

Abstract: An example method for extracting traffic scenarios from vehicle sensor data is disclosed. The example method includes acquiring vehicle data generated by one or more sensors coupled to a vehicle. The vehicle data is at least partially indicative of the surroundings of the vehicle during a particular time frame. The vehicle data is analyzed to identify objects in the surroundings of the vehicle and to determine the motion of the vehicle relative to the surroundings during the particular time frame. A plurality of events are defined, each indicative of a relationship between the vehicle and the objects. A scenario is defined as a particular combination of the events. Portions of the vehicle data in which the combination of elements occurs during a time interval are identified, and at least some of the identified data is extracted to a predefined data structure to create an extracted scenario.

Abstract: A technique for selecting locations of tear lines when displaying visual content. The technique includes receiving coordinates for one or more portions of a display where a tear is permitted and determining if a frame transition is to occur while rendered content is being scanned out for display within the one or more portions of the display where tear is permitted. If the frame transition is to occur while the scanline for the display is in the one or more portions of the display where tear is permitted, then the technique further includes allowing the frame transition to occur. If the frame transition is to occur while the scanline for the display is not in the one or more portions of the display where tear is permitted, then the technique further includes delaying the frame transition until at least when the scanline for the display is in the one or more portions of the display where tear is permitted.

Abstract: An online system maintains pages and accesses a graph of nodes representing the pages. Each node is labeled to indicate that a corresponding page is for a real-world entity, an imposter of the real-world entity, or a derived entity complying with or violating a policy. The online system retrieves machine-learning models, each of which is trained based on labels for a set of the nodes and features of corresponding pages. A first model predicts whether a page is for a derived entity based on features of the page. Responsive to predicting the page is not for a derived entity, a second model predicts whether the page is for a real-world entity or an imposter based on features of the page. Responsive to predicting the page is for a derived entity, a third model predicts whether the derived entity complies with or violates the policy based on features of the page.
