Abstract: A hybrid deterministic override to cloud based probabilistic advanced driver assistance systems. Under default driving conditions, an ego vehicle is controlled by a probabilistic controller in a cloud. An overall gap between the ego vehicle and a leading vehicle is divided into an emergency collision gap and a driver specified gap. The vehicle sensors monitor the overall gap. When the gap between the ego vehicle and the leading vehicle is less than or equal to the emergency collision gap, a deterministic controller of the ego vehicle overrides the cloud based probabilistic controller to control the braking and acceleration of the ego vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for fast and efficient verify recovery and array discharge for 3D NAND memory arrays and other 3D storage devices. The 3D storage device includes storage arrays including strings of memory cells stacked on top of one another and sharing a channel in a pillar for the string. The memory cells for a string occupy respective tiers in a 3D structure with each tier having an associated wordline. A controller is used to program charge levels in the memory cells. Programming is followed by a fast verify recovery where a voltage is applied to the wordlines to perform a program verify, followed by discharging wordlines. Erased wordlines are identified and discharged first, followed by programmed wordlines, which may employ staggered discharge sequences. Dummy wordlines are then discharged, with an optional timer delay. For multi-deck devices, wordlines in the deck with an active wordline are discharged before wordlines in one or more other decks.

Abstract: Smart vehicle-to-everything (V2X) preemptive connections for emergency and/or potential accident scenarios. A V2X-enabled vehicle may determine a current route of the vehicle and high-risk areas through which the vehicle may travel (e.g., a hospital zone, high pedestrian traffic area, etc.). The vehicle may determine a distance (d) from a beginning of the high-risk area and begin establishing a V2X connection upon reaching the determined distance. The V2X-enabled vehicle may also, or alternatively, pre-emptively establish a V2X connection upon detecting an event initiative of an emergency, a hazardous situation, or a potential emergency. Examples of such events may include a sharp turn, a vehicle speed exceeding a speed threshold, a sudden acceleration or declaration, etc. A preemptive V2X connection may, for example, enable vehicles to begin communicating with one another faster in case of a threat, emergency, or unsafe conditions for vehicles in the area.

Abstract: In a teleconferencing method, a first media stream and a second media stream of a teleconference are received, by processing circuitry of a first device, from a second device. The first media stream includes first audio and the second media stream includes second audio. Default weight information is received from the second device. The default weight information indicates a first audio weight for weighting the first audio and a second audio weight for weighting the second audio. The first audio weight for weighting the first audio and the second audio weight for weighting the second audio are determined based on the default weight information. Mixed audio is generated, by the processing circuitry of the first device, by combining a weighted first audio based on the first audio weight applied to the first audio and a weighted second audio based on the second audio weight applied to the second audio.
