Abstract: A method for evaluating performance of an operator of a service vehicle, such as a cleaning vehicle, is disclosed. While the operator operates the service vehicle, sensor readings related to the operation of the service vehicle are collected, by means of one or more sensors of the service vehicle. The collected sensor readings are compared to a set of predefined corresponding sensor values reflecting operation of the service vehicle, and performance of the operator is evaluated based on the comparison.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of controllers (e.g., control panels, etc.) configured to be operable for detecting cavitation using torque load and/or instantaneous fuel consumption. In exemplary embodiments, a controller is configured to be operable for monitoring at least one of engine torque load and/or engine instantaneous fuel consumption for fluctuation (e.g., significant drop/downward fluctuation in average magnitude and/or erratic, noisy, fluctuating data, etc.) indicative of pump cavitation, thereby enabling the controller to be operable for alerting to indications of pump cavitation when fluctuation of the monitored engine torque load and/or engine instantaneous fuel consumption indicate pump cavitation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and processing modeling workflows are disclosed. In some examples, a reference distribution of scores generated by a model is determined. The reference distribution of scores is recorded in a structured database. One or more unexpected scores are detected during execution of the model. To detect the one or more unexpected scores, a production distribution of scores is compared with the reference distribution of scores recorded in the structured database. The production distribution of scores is generated by the model for a production input data set. An alert is then provided to an external system, when an alert condition is determined to be satisfied based on the comparison. The alert indicates detection of the one or more unexpected scores.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed to enhance the efficiency of available bandwidth between UEs and base stations. A UE transmits a sounding reference signal (SRS) to the base station. The base station characterizes the uplink channel based on the SRS received and, using reciprocity, applies the channel characterization for the downlink channel. As part of applying the channel information, the base station forms the beam to the UE based on the uplink channel information obtained from the SRS. The UE may include an array of antennas, each UE transmitting a different SRS that the base station receives and uses to characterize the downlink. Multiple UEs (or a single UE with multiple antennas) transmit SRS at the same time and frequency allocation (non-orthogonal), but with each sending its own unique SRS. Further, multiple UEs (or a single UE with multiple antennas) may send their SRS at unique time/frequency allocations (orthogonal).

Abstract: The disclosure relates in some aspects to an energy-aware architecture that supports a low power scheduling mode. For example, a media access control (MAC) architecture for a base station (e.g., an enhanced Node B) and associated access terminals (e.g., UEs) can take the power needs of the access terminals into account when scheduling the access terminals. In some aspects, an access terminal may support a particular frame structure for a low power mode. Accordingly, scheduling of the access terminal may include use of the particular frame structure during low power mode.
