Abstract: Determining classification(s) for object(s) in an environment of autonomous vehicle, and controlling the vehicle based on the determined classification(s). For example, autonomous steering, acceleration, and/or deceleration of the vehicle can be controlled based on determined pose(s) and/or classification(s) for objects in the environment. The control can be based on the pose(s) and/or classification(s) directly, and/or based on movement parameter(s), for the object(s), determined based on the pose(s) and/or classification(s). In many implementations, pose(s) and/or classification(s) of environmental object(s) are determined based on data from a phase coherent Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) component of the vehicle, such as a phase coherent LIDAR monopulse component and/or a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) LIDAR component.

Abstract: Implementations process, using machine learning (ML) layer(s) of ML model(s), actor(s) from a past episode of locomotion of a vehicle and stream(s) in an environment of the vehicle during the past episode to forecast associated trajectories, for the vehicle and for each of the actor(s), with respect to a respective associated stream of the stream(s). Further, implementations process, using a stream connection function, the associated trajectories to forecast a plurality of associated trajectories, for the vehicle and each of the actor(s), with respect to each of the stream(s). Moreover, implementations iterate between using the ML layer(s) and the stream connection function to update the associated trajectories for the vehicle and each of the actor(s). Implementations subsequently use the ML layer(s) in controlling an AV.

Abstract: A refresh circuit selects a candidate bank for refreshing from various banks of a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). Initially, the refresh circuit checks if any bank is idle (e.g., is not targeted for memory operations). If two or more banks are idle, the candidate bank is selected based on a count of accesses targeted to each occupied bank and bank-pair distances between each pair of idle and occupied banks. Conversely, if all banks are occupied, the refresh circuit selects the candidate bank based on a count of data accesses targeted to each bank and/or a count of parity accesses targeted to each bank. Each data access has the same type as that scheduled for execution on the DRAM. Once the candidate bank is selected, the refresh circuit triggers the refresh of the candidate bank.

Abstract: A mediated-reality system for surgical applications incorporates pre-operative images and real-time captured images of a surgical site into a visualization presented on a head-mounted display worn by a surgeon during a surgical procedure. The mediated-reality system tracks the surgeon's head position and generates real-time images of the surgical site from a virtual camera perspective corresponding to the surgeon's head position to mimic the natural viewpoint of the surgeon. The mediated-reality system furthermore aligns the pre-operative images with the real-time images from the virtual camera perspective and presents a mediated-reality visualization of the surgical site with the aligned pre-operative three-dimensional images or a selected portion thereof overlaid on the real-time images representing the virtual camera perspective.

Abstract: Described herein are deadfront assemblies that are configured to exhibit variable transmission and reflection performance attributes. The deadfront assemblies described herein comprise a first ink layer, an intermediate layer, and a second ink layer. The intermediate layer is disposed between the first and second ink layers and is configured to reflect light that is transmitted through the first ink layer back through the first ink layer so that one or more colors of the ink in the first ink layer is visible in the reflected light. The second ink layer is configured to counteract deviations in optical transmission caused by the first ink layer so that light transmitted through the deadfront assembly is not perceptively altered in color. Overlapping regions of the first and second ink layers comprise inverse appearance attributes so that light output from a light source and transmitted through the deadfront assembly has a desired appearance.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for generating a transcript of a legal proceeding or other multi-speaker conversation or performance in real time or near-real time using multi-channel audio capture. Different speakers or participants in a conversation may each be assigned a separate microphone that is placed in proximity to the given speaker, where each audio channel includes audio captured by a different microphone. Filters may be applied to isolate each channel to include speech utterances of a different speaker, and these filtered channels of audio data may then be processed in parallel to generate speech-to-text results that are interleaved to form a generated transcript.

Abstract: A resonance avoidance system including a resonance avoidance controller configured to insert a delay between sequential transactions on a communication interface separated by an inactive period to avoid stimulating a power distribution network resonance. The resonance avoidance controller may be configured to insert the delay by delaying a second transaction from being driven onto the communication interface after a first transaction in which the delay is sufficient to avoid stimulating the power distribution network resonance. The delay may be inserted by delaying a driver from driving the second transaction by the sufficient delay. The conflict may be detected between first and second commands in a command queue, in which the delay may be inserted by inserting no operation commands between the commands in the command queue. Operational timing values may be stored that are used to detect resonant frequency conflicts.
