Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a communication method, a communications device, and a storage medium, to process an invalid block in a data stream. In embodiments of this application, N first block streams are obtained, where N is a positive integer. When there is an invalid block in the N first block streams, the invalid block in the N first block streams is converted into a target block, to obtain a to-be-sent block stream. Then, the to-be-sent block stream is sent. Because the invalid block in the block stream is checked and converted into the target block, an error that occurs in service data at a receive end and that is caused by the invalid block can be reduced.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for detecting truncation and overlap defects. Location and size information for the elements of the webpage are obtained. An intersection over union (IoU) calculation is performed for two webpage elements using the obtained location and size information for at least one of these webpage elements. Furthermore, the location relationship between these two webpage elements is determined. A table, which defines truncation defect and overlap defect scenarios, is then reviewed to determine if there are any truncation or overlap defects in these two webpage elements using the IoU calculation, the location relationship and the text condition, which indicates whether text is included in one of the two webpage elements. If any truncation or overlap defects are found in the webpage, then such truncation and/or overlap defects are marked on a screen capture of the webpage.

Abstract: A system for assisting in aligning a vehicle for hitching with a trailer includes an imaging system, a vehicle control system including at least one vehicle sensor, and a controller. The controller controls the vehicle using the vehicle control system to move the vehicle into an aligned position, where a hitch ball on the vehicle is aligned with the coupler, including monitoring a signal from the vehicle sensor and tracking a position of the coupler relative to the hitch ball in image data. When the signal indicates an unintended stopped vehicle state, the controller determines a distance from the hitch ball to the coupler. If the distance is above a predetermined threshold, the controller controls the vehicle control system to cause the vehicle to move. If the distance is below the predetermined threshold, the controller indicates the unintended stopped vehicle state to a driver of the vehicle.
