Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for maximizing bandwidth utilization of PCIe links. The bandwidth utilization of a PCIe link involving a PCIe card is measured. A bandwidth utilization of the PCIe link at a future time is predicted based on the measured bandwidth utilization of the PCIe link using a machine learning model trained to predict bandwidth utilization of PCIe links. If the predicted bandwidth utilization of the PCIe link exceeds a threshold value, then the PCIe card is configured to implement a first mode of operation that utilizes more bandwidth if not implementing the first mode of operation at the future time. If the predicted bandwidth utilization of the PCIe link does not exceed a threshold value, then the PCIe card is configured to implement a second mode of operation that utilizes less bandwidth if not implementing the second mode of operation at the future time.

Abstract: A system receives, from one or more flow rate sensor circuits, one or more signals that indicate the flow rate of coolant provided to a set of circuit boards. The one or more flow rate sensor circuits are configured to detect the flow rate of the coolant traveling from one or more pumps towards the set of circuit boards. The one or more pumps are configured to direct a flow of the coolant towards the set of circuit boards. The system compares the flow rate of the coolant to a threshold flow rate. The system determines that a total flow rate of the coolant is less than the threshold flow rate. The system causes the autonomous vehicle to perform a minimal risk maneuver in response to determining that the flow rate of the coolant is less than the threshold flow rate.

Abstract: A filter for filter air for an internal combustion engine and methods of operation are described herein. The air precleaner is configured to use electrostatic attraction or repulsion to move ionized particles towards an inner wall of the air precleaner, where the particles eventually exit the air precleaner through a particle exhaust. The particles are ionized using a positive charge plate and a negative charge plate. The positive charge plate creates a positive charge field, creating positive ions that ionize particles in the air with a positive charge. The negative charge plate creates a negative charge field, creating negative ions that ionize particles in the air with a negative charge. The air precleaner can also include a cyclonic section that causes the air to rotate about a central axis of the air precleaner, imparting a centripetal force on the particles. The centripetal force and the electrostatic force act together to filter the air.

The system detects that the first flow rate of the liquid coolant is less than a threshold flow rate. In response, the system communicates, to the second pump, a signal that indicates to increase a speed of the second pump to increase the second flow rate of the liquid coolant flowing out of the second pump and compensate for the first flow rate that is less than the threshold flow rate.
