  • Publication number: 20180188041
    Abstract: A high-definition map system receives sensor data from vehicles travelling along routes and combines the data to generate a high definition map for use in driving vehicles, for example, for guiding autonomous vehicles. A pose graph is built from the collected data, each pose representing location and orientation of a vehicle. The pose graph is optimized to minimize constraints between poses. Points associated with surface are assigned a confidence measure determined using a measure of hardness/softness of the surface. A machine-learning-based result filter detects bad alignment results and prevents them from being entered in the subsequent global pose optimization. The alignment framework is parallelizable for execution using a parallel/distributed architecture. Alignment hot spots are detected for further verification and improvement.

  • Patent number: 8377895
    Abstract: The present invention provides a series of cyclin-dependent protein kinases (Cdks) inhibitors, Scutellaria flavonoid organic amine derivatives, synthesis and use thereof. The preparation method is as follows: taking Baicalein (or Wogonin) from Scutellaria baicalensis as lead compound, mixting it with formaldehyde solution and organic amine compounds based on the molar ratio of 1:1-1.2:1-1.2, adding methanol of duplicate weight than baicalein and reacting at 50-70° C., filtering the sediment and washing and then drying so as to get the product with a content of not less than 97% (weight). Similar to Flavopiridol and P276-00, the activity of baicalein organic amine derivatives inhibiting Cdks has an increase of 50 times compared with that of Baicalin. It can selectively induce apoptosis of the proliferative phase cancer cells, which has scarcely any influence to the normal structure, and it belongs to anticancer drugs of cell cycle inhibitor kind.
