Abstract: A vehicle configured to transfer energy to a building is disclosed. The vehicle may include a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver may receive temperature information and demand information associated with a power grid. The processor may determine that a first predefined condition may be met based on the demand information. The processor may then calculate a first amount of energy to be transferred to the building based on the temperature information, and cause the vehicle to transfer the first amount of energy to the building. The processor may further determine that a second predefined condition may be met based on the first amount of energy and/or vehicle availability information, and determine a second amount of energy to be transferred to the building based on the temperature information. The processor may then cause the vehicle to transfer the second amount of energy to the building.

Abstract: A machine-learned architecture for generating a single trajectory or multiple trajectories for controlling a vehicle may comprise an embedding model that generates an embedding of a world state indicating environment, object, and/or other states, one or more machine-learned layers that determine a predicted world state embedding using the world state embedding, and concatenating, as combined data, that predicted world state embedding to a steering angle distribution and a velocity distribution. The combined data is provided as input to a machine-learned model (that may be a single machine-learned model or may comprise two separate machine-learned models) that determines a next steering angle distribution and a next velocity distribution. These distributions may be used as part of generating one or more trajectories for controlling the vehicle. The architecture may be iteratively used to create a series of distributions that are used to create one or more trajectories.

Abstract: Disclosed implementations provide a system of sensing modules that can operate in conjunction with a Software as a Service (SaaS) backend to detect and alert of various threats. The sensing modules can be installed at fixed locations or can be mobile. All sensing and detection processing can be accomplished by the sensing module or by several sensing modules cooperating on a mesh network or other network communication architecture. Privacy is preserved because all raw sensor data collected for analysis is processed locally at the sensing module(s) and deleted immediately following the completion of analysis. Accordingly, raw sensor data is inaccessible outside of the sensing module(s) which can be secured through hardware and software security techniques.

A shared software register is incremented and the shared software register is spilled to a first per-thread register, and execution is switched to a second thread. After execution switches back to the first thread, execution of the first thread is suspended until the shared hardware scoreboard reaches a value at or below a difference between a value in the shared software register and the value spilled into the first per-thread register.
