Abstract: A vehicle control method includes the following steps. When a vehicle is in an autonomous driving mode, a first steering signal is received from a steering column of the vehicle. The first steering signal includes a first torque signal and/or a first steering angle signal. The holding information of a steering wheel of the vehicle is obtained, and the holding information indicates whether the steering wheel is held. Based on the first steering signal and the holding information, the vehicle is controlled to maintain or exit the autonomous driving mode.

Abstract: A hydrodynamic water blocking device for an underground garage includes a water blocking plate assembly and side rail assemblies, wherein the water blocking plate assembly includes a first water blocking element, one end of the first water blocking element is rotationally connected with a base, the other end of the first water blocking element is rotationally connected with one end of a second water blocking element, the first and second water blocking elements have foamed layers, the base has grooves capable of accommodating the embedded foamed layers, water inlets formed in the base communicate with the grooves, each of the side rail assemblies includes a side plate with an ascending rail including a horizontally disposed linear rail and an arc-shaped lifting rail, the second water blocking element has a walking assembly embedded in the ascending rail which is connected with a driving mechanism installed at the second water blocking element.

Abstract: The detection, removal and reinsertion of possibly malfunctioning devices from an arbitrated loop is disclosed. When a new device is first connected to a storage switch and a loop is formed and begins initialization, a LOOP_DOWN event is sent to a processor and a loop down timer is started for each port in the loop. If initialization is successful, a LOOP_UP event is sent to the processor and the loop down timer is reset for each port in the loop. However, if one of the loop down timers times out, a problem occurred during the initialization. The port associated with the timed out timer is bypassed so that the devices in the remainder of the loop can continue trying to complete the initialization. The processor initiates a PTBI event on the bypassed device. If the bypassed device is operating properly, it is re-inserted back into the loop.

Abstract: A pouring system comprises a crucible having an opening formed on a bottom thereof, and a self-sealing member blocking the opening. The self-sealing member is made of material which is the same as the raw material received within the bottom of the crucible. The crucible is supported on an inner distributor supported on a driving rod. The self-sealing member, inner distributor, driving rod are substantially located in a mold heating zone above which a smelting zone is disposed. When the raw material in the crucible is heated in the smelting zone by a first heat source to melt, the driving rod pushes the bottom of the crucible upward into the smelting zone. The self-sealing member is thus molten in the bottom of the crucible, un-blocking the opening to allow the melt to flow therethrough. The melt then flows through an inner distributor and flow pipes into a turnport and reaches a level condition after about 10 seconds.
