Abstract: An apparatus enables a high-bandwidth 4-way data serializing (4:1 serializer) digital-to-analog converter. The apparatus uses active inductor-based bandwidth extension technique for two-stage driver enabling design of quarter-rate 4-way data serializing transmitter. The 4:1 serializer output bandwidth is extended by gate-resistor-peaked n-type transistor load working as an active inductor. A current steering switch with current source is used as the final driver. The 4:1 serializer includes a pulse width tuning technique with tunable ground voltage on the ground terminal of a pulse generator to tune an effective threshold voltage of the pulse generator. A Bessel-like LC filter is coupled to an output of the 4:1 serializer. The filter includes shunt peaking paths that provide zeros, which natively cancel large parasitic capacitance at a shunt peaking node. As such, active and passive devices including driver circuitry, ESD diodes, and any other sensing circuitry are flexibly added on any LC filter nodes.

Abstract: A large-scale in-situ dewatering treatment method and device for lake sludge are provided. The large-scale in-situ dewatering treatment method for lake sludge includes: step S1, sludge excavation: excavating sludge from a lake and transporting the sludge to a detention pond; step S2, in-situ detention: filtering the sludge in the detention pond to obtain filtered sludge; step S3, dewatering: transporting the filtered sludge to a dewatering workshop and performing deep dewatering on the filtered sludge to obtain mud blocks and wastewater; and step S4, environmental protection treatment: using the mud blocks to build an island near a dredging platform in the lake. The large-scale in-situ dewatering treatment method for lake sludge not only solves the problems of difficulty in selecting a temporary sludge disposal site and high capital investment costs in a traditional lake dredging operation, but also reduces the transportation cost of transporting sludge to a land.

Abstract: Tracking a current and/or previous position, velocity, acceleration, and/or heading of an object using sensor data may comprise determining whether to associate a current object detection generated from recently received (e.g., current) sensor data with a previous object detection generated from formerly received sensor data. In other words, a track may identify that an object detected in former sensor data is the same object detected in current sensor data. However, multiple types of sensor data may be used to detect objects and some objects may not be detected by different sensor types or may be detected differently, which may confound attempts to track an object. An ML model may be trained to receive outputs associated with different sensor types and/or a track associated with an object, and determine a data structure comprising a region of interest, object classification, and/or a pose associated with the object.
