Abstract: Techniques for providing remote assistance to a vehicle are discussed. The techniques include receiving, from a vehicle, an indication of an event and displaying, on a display and to a user, a portion of an environment including the vehicle. The techniques further determine a valid region in the portion of the environment associated with a location at which the vehicle is capable of navigating. The techniques also display, on the display a footprint of the vehicle, where the footprint is associated with a position and orientation. The techniques further include transmitting the position and orientation of the footprint to the vehicle, which causes the vehicle to traverse in the environment to the position and orientation.

Abstract: Techniques and methods for identifying parking zones. For instance, a vehicle may identify a parking zone located near a destination location for the vehicle. The vehicle may then generate one or more lines representing the parking zone. Additionally, the vehicle may generate polygons representing objects located proximate to the parking zone. The vehicle may then determine whether the one or more lines intersect with one or more of the polygons. If the vehicle determines that the one or more lines intersect with one or more of the polygons, then the vehicle may identify one or more first portions of the parking zone that are occupied by one or more objects and as such, unavailable. Using the one or more first portions, the vehicle may identify one or more second portions of the parking zone that are not occupied by objects and as such, available.

Abstract: A crossflow air deflector part for directing airflow includes a front central spine, a first arcuate wall extending from the spine to a first back lateral edge of the airflow deflector, and a second arcuate wall extending from the spine to a second back lateral edge of the airflow deflector opposing the first back lateral edge. Such an airflow deflector can be implemented into a storage server, positioned between a laterally adjacent pair of data storage device (DSD) chambers and a pair of vertically stacked fans, such that the crossflow air deflector functions to direct airflow from one of the lateral DSD chambers into the lower fan and to direct airflow from the other lateral DSD chamber into the upper fan. Independent airflow control for each DSD chamber and each corresponding DSD is thereby provided.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling a vehicle on and off a route structure in an environment are discussed herein. A vehicle computing system controls the vehicle along a route based on a route-based reference system. The vehicle computing system may determine to operate off the route, such as to operate in reverse, park, etc. The vehicle computing system may modify vehicle operations to an inertial-based reference system to navigate to a location off the route. The vehicle computing system may determine a vehicle trajectory to the location off the route based on a reference trajectory between a location on the route and the location off the route and a corridor associated therewith. The vehicle computing system may transition between the route-based reference system and the inertial-based reference system, based on a determination to operate on or off the route.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for concurrently performing handoff-related measurements for neighbor cells using multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna resources. In one example, a mobile device is in communication with a serving cell. Handoff-related measurements of first wireless signals from a first neighbor cell are performed. The first wireless signals are received at first MIMO antenna resources of a device. Handoff-related measurements of second wireless signals from a second neighbor cell are performed, as well. The second wireless signals are received at second MIMO antenna resources concurrently with the first wireless signals received at the first MIMO antenna resources. The first handoff-related measurements and the second handoff-related measurements may be performed during a scan interval. A type of handoff-related measurement to perform may be determined based on a determined length of the scan interval.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a location for a vehicle to join a route structure are discussed herein. A vehicle computing system may operate the vehicle off the route structure according to an inertial-based reference frame. The vehicle computing system may determine a lateral distance of the vehicle to a route of the route structure and an angular difference between a heading of the vehicle and a direction of travel associated with the route. The vehicle computing system may determine a location to rejoin the route based on the lateral distance and the angular difference. In some examples, the vehicle computing system may determine the location based on a sigmoid function. The vehicle computing system may determine a vehicle trajectory to the location and may control the vehicle to the route based on the vehicle trajectory and the inertial-based reference frame.

Abstract: An aliasing module is defined and connected to receive a first bit stream to be transmitted over a data bus from a memory to an external controller of the memory. The aliasing module is defined and connected to alias the first bit stream as a second bit stream and transmit the second bit stream over the data bus in lieu of the first bit stream. A de-aliasing module is defined and connected to receive the second bit stream from the data bus at the external controller. The de-aliasing module is defined and connected to de-alias the received second bit stream back to the first bit stream and provide the first bit stream to the external controller for processing.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present disclosure control whether or not certain protocol stack operation are performed in a hardware (HW) protocol stack accelerator based on ARQ/HARQ re-transmission rate. Latency penalties associated with using the HW accelerator are typically higher than the data movement overhead when this data does not need to be processed by the HW accelerator, such as when a re-transmission error occurs. According to certain embodiments, the HW accelerator is activated if the ARQ/HARQ re-transmission rate is below a threshold value. Otherwise, if the ARQ/HARQ re-transmission rate is above a threshold, at least a portion of the HW accelerator may be de-activated, which may reduce overhead associated with moving data between the protocol stack and the HW accelerator.
