  • Publication number: 20250068953
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting errors in a computation performed by a quantum computer. In one aspect, a method comprises obtaining error correction data for each of a plurality of time steps during the computation; initializing a decoder state; and for each of the plurality of time steps: generating an intermediate representation; and processing a time step input through a Transformer neural network to update the decoder state for the time step. The method comprises generating a prediction of whether an error occurred in the computation from the decoder state for the last time step of the plurality of time steps.

  • Patent number: 12036973
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a control system for controlling torque distribution between a first axle (110) and a second axle (120) in a vehicle (100), the control system comprising one or more controllers. The control system is configured to detect that the vehicle is in overrun and detect the vehicle speed. When the vehicle is in overrun and the vehicle speed is below a first speed threshold then the torque distribution is controlled to reduce overrun torque to the first axle and to increase overrun torque to the second axle. The vehicle may be a hybrid vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine (ICE) (201), a belt integrated starter generator (B-ISG) (205) and an electric rear axle drive (ERAD) (204).

  • Publication number: 20230358226
    Abstract: For a pressure packing with a buffer gas barrier into which a buffer gas is fed via a buffer gas feeding line, a sensing line is provided that is connected at a first end to a vent volume in the pressure packing with an opposite second end of the sensing line being closed, so that there is no gas flow in the sensing line. A pressure regulator is connected to the buffer gas feeding line for setting the buffer gas pressure in the buffer gas feeding line, whereas, during operation of the pressure packing, the pressure in the sensing line is used as pilot pressure for the pressure regulator for setting the buffer gas pressure.
