Abstract: The present invention offers some general specifications for the design, assembly, and adaptation of a rotating cylinder electrochemical cell into an autoclave, of a high temperature and pressure system for corrosion studies that simulate operating conditions in pipelines, as well as the operation and safety of an autoclave to evaluate the electrochemical process of metal surfaces exposed to aggressive aqueous solutions. The electrochemical cell consists of an array of three electrodes that include a rotating cylinder electrode designed to operate hermetically, a reference electrode and an auxiliary electrode. The rotating cylinder electrode is considered to be the working electrode, where the oxidation and electrochemical reduction processes are studied. However, the use of the method described in this work can be extended to other testing environments and materials by taking into account the physical and chemical properties of the fluids and materials to be used in order to avoid any risk for the operator.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can access a plurality of parameter-based encodings providing a structured representation of an environment captured by one or more sensors associated with a plurality of vehicles traveling through the environment. A given parameter-based encoding of the environment identifies one or more agents that were detected by a vehicle within the environment and respective location information for the one or more agents within the environment. The plurality of parameter-based encodings can be clustered into one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings. At least one scenario associated with the environment can be determined based at least in part on the one or more clusters of parameter-based encodings.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, an apparatus for monitoring isolation resistance in a vehicle is provided. The apparatus includes at least one controller that is configured to at least one of activate and deactivate any number of the plurality of switches and to perform a plurality of measurements on a high voltage system. The at least one controller is further configured to determine an isolation resistance between the high voltage system and the low voltage system based on the plurality of measurements and to determine a first resistance between the positive branch and a ground of the low voltage system based at least on the isolation resistance. The at least one controller is further configured to determine whether the isolation resistance of the high voltage system is exhibiting a symmetric failure, or an asymmetric failure based at least on the first resistance.
