  • Patent number: 12286156
    Abstract: A system for assisting in aligning a vehicle for hitching with a trailer includes a vehicle steering system, a detection system outputting a signal including scene data of an area to a rear of the vehicle, and a controller that controls the vehicle steering system to maneuver the vehicle according to an initial alignment maneuver that positions the vehicle relative to the trailer, such that the trailer is within the area to the rear of the vehicle. The controller further receives the scene data and identifies the trailer within the area to the rear of the vehicle, derives a backing path to align a hitch ball mounted on the vehicle to a coupler of the trailer, and controls the vehicle steering system to maneuver the vehicle including reversing along the backing path.

  • Publication number: 20250047581
    Abstract: A first communication apparatus determines a first transmission delay indicating a transmission delay of a fine granularity service in the first communication apparatus; and the first communication apparatus sends the first transmission delay to a second communication apparatus. A service bit flow sent by a sink node meets a delay compensation requirement to ensure that a network transmission delay from a source node to the sink node and a network transmission delay from the sink node to the source node in a fine granularity service network are equal or meet an expected error range, or that the network transmission delay from the source node to the sink node and the network transmission delay from the sink node to the source node are adjusted to an expected value to meet a service requirement.

    Abstract: A packet processing method includes, when data at a first location in a packet arrives at a channel forwarding layer, determining a first multiframe used to bear the data at the first location, and determining a real timestamp of the first multiframe based on a timestamp of a second multiframe in a channel in which the first multiframe is located. The second multiframe is an Xth multiframe previous to the first multiframe in the channel, X?0, and the timestamp of the second multiframe is a timestamp at which a second location of the second multiframe arrives at a physical layer such that packet stamping is implemented in the Ethernet leased line technology.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating and modifying a workflow comprising a series of webpages based on an online document. A document management system accesses an online document selected by a user and classifies each field of the online document into one of a set of categories. For each category, the system generates a form webpage comprising questions corresponding to each field classified as the category and combines the generated webpages to create a workflow. The system may modify the workflow by generating and adding one or more additional form webpages based on one or more answers provided by an entity completing the webform page. In response to the entity completing the modified generated workflow, the system generates a completed document based on the online document and the answers provided by the entity.

  • Patent number: 12183326
    Abstract: A speech recognition error correction method and device, and a readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: acquiring to-be-recognized speech data and a first recognition result of the speech data, re-recognizing the speech data with reference to context information in the first recognition result to obtain a second recognition result, and determining a final recognition result based on the second recognition result. In the method, the speech data is re-recognized with reference to context information in the first recognition result, which fully considers context information in the recognition result and the application scenario of the speech data.
