Abstract: A system and method for a liquid electrolyte used in secondary electrochemical cells having at least one electrode including a TMCCC material, the liquid electrolyte enabling an increased lifetime while allowing for fast discharge to extremely high depth of discharge. The addition of dinitriles to liquid electrolytes in electrochemical cells in which energy storage is achieved by ion intercalation in transition metal cyanide coordination compounds (TMCCC) has the advantage of increasing device lifetime by inhibiting common chemical and electrochemical degradation mechanisms.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device includes one or more processors and a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining a request for a sequence of video frames that corresponds to a user interface operation being performed at a client device. In some implementations, the sequence of video frames is to be presented at the client device at a first frame rate. In some implementations, the method includes determining an availability of computing resources associated with providing the sequence of video frames to the client device. In some implementations, the method includes generating, based on the availability of computing resources, the sequence of video frames at a second frame rate that is greater than the first frame rate. In some implementations, the method includes triggering the client device to present the sequence of video frames at the first frame rate.

Abstract: Techniques for cloud user interface (UI) rendering in a virtual set top system is performed by a UI engine on a server or a cloud platform. The method includes receiving a request for a UI, where the request includes a state associated with the UI and the request. The method further includes identifying, based at least in part on the first state, UI element(s) and/or interactions associated with the UI. The method also includes determining whether or not UI object(s) corresponding to the UI element(s) and/or the interactions exist in a cache. The method additionally includes generating the UI using the UI object(s) upon finding the UI object(s) in the cache. The method further includes rendering the UI upon not finding the UI object(s) in the cache, including rendering the UI element(s) and/or the interaction(s) as the UI object(s) and storing the UI object(s) in the cache.

Abstract: Techniques for rendering user interface (UI) in a virtual set top system using a pooling of UI rendering engines is performed at a device (e.g., a server or a cloud computing platform). The pooling method includes receiving multiple requests for UIs from multiple client devices, where the multiple requests include states of the UIs. The method further includes dividing the multiple requests into a plurality of groups based at least in part on the states of the UIs, where a respective group of the plurality of groups corresponds to requests for a set of UIs from a respective set of client devices. The method additionally includes assigning a pool of UI engines in a virtual machine (VM) to render the set of UIs for the respective set of client devices based on one or more of characteristics of the set of UIs and characteristics of the respective group.

Abstract: A technique is introduced for autonomous landing by an aerial vehicle. In some embodiments, the introduced technique includes processing a sensor data such as images captured by onboard cameras to generate a ground map comprising multiple cells. A suitable footprint, comprising a subset of the multiple cells in the ground map that satisfy one or more landing criteria, is selected and control commands are generated to cause the aerial vehicle to autonomously land on an area corresponding to the footprint. In some embodiments, the introduced technique involves a geometric smart landing process to select a relatively flat area on the ground for landing. In some embodiments, the introduced technique involves a semantic smart landing process where semantic information regarding detected objects is incorporated into the ground map.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle that is equipped with image capture devices can use information gathered from the image capture devices to plan a future three-dimensional (3D) trajectory through a physical environment. To this end, a technique is described for image-space based motion planning. In an embodiment, a planned 3D trajectory is projected into an image-space of an image captured by the autonomous vehicle. The planned 3D trajectory is then optimized according to a cost function derived from information (e.g., depth estimates) in the captured image. The cost function associates higher cost values with identified regions of the captured image that are associated with areas of the physical environment into which travel is risky or otherwise undesirable. The autonomous vehicle is thereby encouraged to avoid these areas while satisfying other motion planning objectives.
