Abstract: Techniques for improving system performance based on data characteristics are disclosed. A system may receive updates to a first data set at a first frequency. The system selects a first storage configuration, from a plurality of storage configurations, for storing the first data set based on the first frequency, and stores the first data set in accordance with the first storage configuration. The system may further receive updates to a second data set at a second frequency. The system selects a second storage configuration, from the plurality of storage configurations, for storing the second data set based on the second frequency, and stores the second data set in accordance with the second storage configuration. The second storage configuration is different than the first storage configuration.

Abstract: A vehicle assembly includes a vehicle window, a sprayer positioned above the vehicle window and aimed at the vehicle window, a sensor positioned below the vehicle window, and a deflector positioned to receive fluid from the sprayer and shaped to direct the fluid to the sensor. A single sprayer therefore provides cleaning for both the vehicle window and the sensor.

Abstract: A composite material includes a recycled polymer matrix, a continuous network of linked carbon nanostructures dispersed within the recycled polymer matrix, and a compatibilizer. The recycled polymer matrix is in an amount of at least 90 wt. %. The continuous network of linked carbon nanostructures is in an amount between 0.5 wt. % to 1.0 wt. %. The compatibilizer is in an amount of about 3.0 wt. %.

Abstract: An applique is mounted over one or both B-pillars of an autonomous vehicle and includes a display, speaker, touch input, and microphone. The applique may include a curved cover mounted over a printed circuit board (PCB) having LED arrays mounted thereto. A diffuser defines windows for the LED arrays and has a planar surface interfacing with the PCB and a curved surface interfacing with the curved cover. A controller of the vehicle detects proximity to a passenger to be picked up and displays the passenger's name at a first proximity, outputs a spoken message at a second, closer, proximity, and outputs a visible and audible prompt to enter an access code at a third proximity closer than the second proximity.

Abstract: A model analyzer may receive a representative data set as input and select one of a plurality of analytic models to perform the analysis. Before deciding which model to use the model may be trained, and the trained model evaluated for accuracy. However, some models are known to behave poorly when the training data is distributed in a particular way. Thus, the cost of training a model and evaluating the trained model can be avoided by first analyzing the distribution of the representative data. Identifying the representative data distribution allows ruling out use of models for which the distribution of the representative data is unsuitable. Only models that may be compatible with the distribution of the representative data may be trained and evaluated for accuracy. The most accurate trained model whose accuracy meets an accuracy threshold may be selected to analyze subsequently received data related to the representative data.
