Abstract: In various examples, physical sensor data may be generated by a vehicle in a real-world environment. The physical sensor data may be used to train deep neural networks (DNNs). The DNNs may then be tested in a simulated environment—in some examples using hardware configured for installation in a vehicle to execute an autonomous driving software stack—to control a virtual vehicle in the simulated environment or to otherwise test, verify, or validate the outputs of the DNNs. Prior to use by the DNNs, virtual sensor data generated by virtual sensors within the simulated environment may be encoded to a format consistent with the format of the physical sensor data generated by the vehicle.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to performing navigation operations based on junction area information digested at runtime of one or more systems of a machine. In some embodiments, the junction area information may be encoded in map data corresponding to a map, and the encoding may include organizing vehicle paths that traverse through a junction area according to path groups and organizing contentions that influence behavior of vehicles traveling along the vehicle paths according to contention groups. In addition, the encoding may include generating direction data structures that associate respective path groups with one or more of the contention groups. In these or other embodiments, the map data that corresponds to the junction area may be updated with direction data structures.

Each of the mounting apertures is collinear with the other mounting apertures to create an unimpeded opening that the cable strand extends through, thereby mounting the strand mount on the cable strand. Alternative strand mounts and strand mount assemblies are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed are example efficient circuits that produce spark discharges for hydrocarbon conversion (or treatment of other mixtures) using a high-voltage rectified DC supply to discharge a capacitor (either internal or external) across a two-electrode gap, optimized to minimize waste energy by operating in a constant current, approximately-constant current, or constant power mode. The circuits may operate off of a standard electrical supply line (e.g. 120 VAC or 240 VAC, 60 Hz, single-phase or multi-phase). The disclosed approach is scalable to any number of discharge gaps while maintaining similar pulse characteristics and electrical efficiency.
