Abstract: A method of operating an aircraft air conditioning system is includes delivering cabin air to a lower recirculation heat exchanger included in a lower cooling zone to generate lower cooled recirculated cabin air and delivering the cabin air to an upper recirculation heat exchanger included in an upper cooling zone to generate upper cooled recirculation air. The method further comprising generating power via a power system, and invoking, via the controller, a recirculation ground maintenance mode to command the power system to deliver power to one or both of the lower cooling zone and the upper cooling zone so as to output one or both of the lower cooled recirculated cabin air and the upper cooled recirculated cabin to an aircraft cabin.

Abstract: An aircraft air conditioning system includes a lower cooling zone and an upper cooling zone. The lower cooling zone includes a lower recirculation heat exchanger configured to receive cabin air from a cabin and convert the cabin air into lower cooled recirculated cabin air. The upper cooling zone includes an upper recirculation heat exchange configured to receive the cabin air from the cabin and convert the cabin air into upper cooled recirculated cabin air. A power system selectively delivers power to the lower cooling zone and the upper cooling zone. A controller is in signal communication with the power system. The controller determines a target temperature of the cabin and invokes a recirculation ground maintenance mode that commands the power system to deliver power to one or both of the lower cooling zone and the upper cooling zone so that a temperature of the cabin reaches the target temperature.

Abstract: An electricity automation application may automate control over an HVAC system in a consumer's home or other building to reduce or eliminate electricity consumption during a high-price or high-demand time interval. The consumer may grant authorization for the application to control the HVAC system at appropriate timepoints while maintaining an inside air temperature that is between minimum and maximum temperature setpoints set by the consumer. The application models temperature gains and losses for the home or building as a function of inside and outside temperatures and HVAC operating status. If a high-price or high-demand time interval is predicted, the application may determine a timepoint to precool or preheat the home or building to reduce or eliminate electricity use during the duration of the high-price or high-demand time interval.

Abstract: Techniques are discussed for predicting locations of an object based on attributes of the object and/or attributes of other object(s) proximate to the object. The techniques can predict locations of a pedestrian proximate to a crosswalk as they traverse or prepare to traverse through the crosswalk. The techniques can predict locations of objects as the object traverses an environment. Attributes can comprise information about an object, such as a position, velocity, acceleration, classification, heading, relative distances to regions or other objects, bounding box, etc. Attributes can be determined for an object over time such that, when a series of attributes are input into a prediction component (e.g., a machine learned model), the prediction component can output, for example, predicted locations of the object at times in the future. A vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, can be controlled to traverse an environment based on the predicted locations.
