Abstract: A system includes at least one processor configured to detect, based on point cloud information, portions of a particular object, and determine, based on the detected portions, at least a first portion having a first reflectivity corresponding to a license plate, and at least two additional spaced-apart portions corresponding to locations on the particular object other than a location of the first portion. The at least two additional portions have reflectivity substantially lower than the first reflectivity. The at least one processor is further configured to classify the particular object as a vehicle, based on a spatial relationship and a reflectivity relationship between the first portion and the at least two additional portions.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for transparently transitioning an interconnect fabric between a first frequency and a second frequency. In an embodiment, the fabric is coupled to an end point device via an asynchronous device. One or more nodes of the fabric operate in a first clock domain based on a clock signal, while the end point device operates in a different clock domain. Controller circuitry changes a frequency of the clock signal by stalling the clock signal throughout a first period of time which is greater than a duration of three cycles of a lower one of the first frequency or the second frequency. After the first period of time, cycling of the clock signal is provided at the second frequency. In another embodiment, the asynchronous device enables the frequency change without preventing communication with the end point device.

Other embodiments are described and claimed.
