  • Patent number: 12466442
    Abstract: Systems and methods for training a neural network for generating a reasoning statement are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving raw data regarding a raw simulation for an ego agent. The raw simulation includes at least one dynamic object. The method also includes generating a noisy simulation by applying a first input noise of a plurality of input noises to the raw simulation. The method further includes predicting one or more object trajectories for the at least one dynamic object. The method yet further includes generating an ego trajectory for the ego agent in the noisy simulation based on the one or more object trajectories. The method includes causing the ego agent to execute the ego trajectory.

  • Patent number: 8393306
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a crankcase, a crankshaft, a cylinder block, and cylinder head assembly. The cylinder block has at least one cylinder. At least one piston is disposed in the at least one cylinder. The at least one piston is operatively connected to the crankshaft. An oil tank enclosure is connected to at least one of the crankcase outer wall and the cylinder block outer wall. The oil tank enclosure and the at least one of the crankcase outer wall and the cylinder block outer wall together form an oil tank. The arrangement of the oil inlet, oil outlet, and blow-by gas outlet in an oil tank; an oil tank having an angled portion for separating blow-by gases from oil; and an arrangement of a blow-by gas passage connected to an oil tank are also described.
