Abstract: Systems and techniques of the present disclosure may access data from a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor of an autonomous vehicle (AV). The TOF sensor may have light signals and received reflections of those transmitted signals such that a set of simulation data can be generated. This set of simulation data may identify a distance to associate with an object that is different from a calibration distance. Equations may be used to identify a light signal amplitude, a signal to noise ratio (SNR), and a range inaccuracy due to noise from the accessed data. The identified the light signal amplitude, the SNR, and the range inaccuracy due to noise may have been identified using equations. Once the set of simulation data is generated, it may be saved for later access by a processor executing a simulation program used to train devices used to control the driving of an AV.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides human 1L-23R (WL-23R) binding polypeptides, conditionally maximally active SilL˜23R binding proteins, multimers thereof, and methods for using the polypeptides and binding proteins for therapeutic use.
