Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting at least a transient event, which is a damage and/or a contact event to a vehicle. The method includes: acquiring a sound signal over time by an audio sensor mounted on the vehicle to capture air-borne sound waves; acquiring at least a vibration signal over time by a motion sensor mounted on the vehicle to capture vehicle vibration; detecting if the acquired sound signal is above a predetermined sound threshold and/or acquired vibration signal is above a predetermined vibration threshold; converting the acquired sound signal and the vibration signal into an input data record; obtaining an input feature record from the input data record; feeding a pretrained machine-learning model with the input feature record to provide a transient event prediction output, wherein the pretrained model has been pretrained with a training dataset comprising input feature training records and event output training records.

Abstract: A system includes a memory a processor. The processor is in communication with the memory. The processor is configured to receive an application, where the application was modified into a second configuration from a first configuration. Next, the processor determines differences in the application between the second configuration and the first configuration. A database is accessed, which includes a set of known potential modifications to the application and a set of patterns. The functionality of the known potential modifications is dependent on at least one of the set of patterns. The differences are analyzed to determine which of the set of patterns to include in the application, where the differences includes at least one of the set of known potential modifications in the application. The processor is configured to modify the application with the at least one of the set of patterns.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of selecting a number format for use in configuring a hardware implementation of a bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) for operation on a sequence of inputs. A received BRNN representation is implemented as a test neural network equivalent to the BRNN over a sequence of input tensors, each step of the test neural network being for operation on (a) an input tensor of the sequence, (b) a corresponding backward state tensor generated in respect of a subsequent input tensor of the sequence, and (c) a corresponding forward state tensor generated in respect of a preceding input tensor of the sequence. The test neural network includes a forward recurrent neural network (RNN) for operation on the forward state tensors over the input tensors of the sequence; and a backward RNN for operation on the backward state tensors over the input tensors of the sequence.

Abstract: A method of implementing in hardware a bidirectional recurrent neural network (BRNN) for operation on a sequence of inputs, each step of the BRNN being for operation on (a) an input of the sequence, (b) corresponding backward state generated in respect of a subsequent input of the sequence, and (c) corresponding forward state generated in respect of a preceding input of the sequence. A representation of the BRNN is transformed into a derivative neural network equivalent to the BRNN over the sequence of inputs. The derivative neural network includes a forward recurrent neural network (RNN) for operation on the forward state over the inputs of the sequence, and a backward recurrent neural network (RNN) for operation on the backward state over the inputs of the sequence. The derivative neural network is implemented in hardware so as to perform the BRNN on the sequence of inputs.

Abstract: A backup power supply comprising a removably attachable battery that is configured to provide a backup power supply to an electrical appliance is disclosed herein. An electrical housing is configured to be mounted on the electrical appliance. A removably attachable battery is mounted on the electrical housing, which comprises a circuitry that includes a sensing device that is configured to detect primary power supply from a main power supply to the electrical appliance. A transfer switch is configured to select one of primary power supply provided by the main power supply or the backup power supply provided by removably attachable battery based on the sensing device deciding what is appropriate. A control circuitry is configured to control the transfer switch to engage the removably attachable battery in the circuitry when the sensing device fails to detect the primary power supply from the main power supply to the electrical appliance.

Abstract: A creation, editing, and display tool for complex diagrams may enable portions of the diagram to be updated without having to update the entire diagram. The tool may use a set of rules that define the positioning and layout of various elements and relationships between elements in the diagram. The update mechanism may enable the rules to be applied to a subset of the diagram and may not update some portions of the diagram, such as those elements outside the viewing area. In some embodiments, a background or low priority process may apply the rules to those portions not updated. The tool may be used for various diagrams, including sequence diagrams and other complex, highly restrained diagram types.
