  • Publication number: 20240176017
    Abstract: In various examples, techniques for sensor-fusion based object detection and/or free-space detection using ultrasonic sensors are described. Systems may receive sensor data generated using one or more types of sensors of a machine. In some examples, the systems may then process at least a portion of the sensor data to generate input data, where the input data represents one or more locations of one or more objects within an environment. The systems may then input at least a portion of the sensor data and/or at least a portion of the input data into one or more neural networks that are trained to output one or more maps or other output representations associated with the environment. In some examples, the map(s) may include a height, an occupancy, and/or height/occupancy map generated, e.g., from a birds-eye-view perspective. The machine may use these outputs to perform one or more operations.

  • Publication number: 20240020953
    Abstract: In various examples, feature values corresponding to a plurality of views are transformed into feature values of a shared orientation or perspective to generate a feature map—such as a Bird's-Eye-View (BEV), top-down, orthogonally projected, and/or other shared perspective feature map type. Feature values corresponding to a region of a view may be transformed into feature values using a neural network. The feature values may be assigned to bins of a grid and values assigned to at least one same bin may be combined to generate one or more feature values for the feature map. To assign the transformed features to the bins, one or more portions of a view may be projected into one or more bins using polynomial curves. Radial and/or angular bins may be used to represent the environment for the feature map.

  • Patent number: 10958158
    Abstract: An AC/DC converter is operative to receive, via AC input terminals, an AC input signal and to transform the AC input signal into a DC output signal. The AC/DC converter comprises a first DC discharge circuit coupled to AC input terminals. The controller comprises a second DC discharge circuit having a controllable switching element for switching the second DC discharge circuit on and off. The second DC discharge circuit is operative to receive a DC discharge current from the first DC discharge circuit; logic associated with the AC/DC converter repeatedly: receives a DC sense signal from the second DC discharge circuit and determines, based on the value of the DC sense signal within a predetermined measurement time period, loss of the AC input signal. In response to determining loss of the AC input signal, the logic controls activation of the second DC discharge circuit depending on the DC sense signal.

  • Patent number: 10523271
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus for calibration for cable modem (CM) echo cancellation (EC) training in full duplex (FDX) coaxial networks is provided. A CM receives a current resource block assignment message (RBA) from a cable modem termination system (CMTS), and determines if designated channels available for assignment as downstream (DS) channels or upstream (US) channels have changed assignment values from a previously received RBA, and if EC training has been performed on the designated channels for the current RBA. If the designated channels have changed assignment values and EC training has not been performed on the designated channels for the current RBA, the CM performs EC training on the designated channels for the current RBA.
