Abstract: Systems and methods for fail-safe corrective actions based on vision information for autonomous driving. An example method is implemented by a processor system included in a vehicle, with the method comprising obtaining images from image sensors positioned about the vehicle. Visibility information is determined for at least a portion of the images. Adjustment of operation of an autonomous vehicle is caused based on the visibility information.

Abstract: Higher order simulation of hydrocarbon flows associated with complex fractures produced in the hydraulic fracturing process in a well system may be used to obtain high fidelity results while minimizing a cost of computation. The higher order simulation of hydrocarbon flows may provide efficient and stable simulation algorithms that avoid any artificial boundary treatment inconsistent with the governing equations, while maintaining a uniform order of accuracy. In particular, a re-normalization technique implements higher-order finite difference/finite volume discretization near the boundary of the complex fractures. The simulation of hydrocarbon flows may be used to determine a production activity for the well system.

Abstract: A method for determining recipients of required notices in an order processing system includes initializing a line item set of orders, each line item in the set including at least a fulfiller indicator and an indication of a bundle group, and mapping line items to a bundle group to form a bundle group map. The method further includes storing the bundle group map for pre-orders which will ship at a later promise date. The promise date is also stored. If there is a future promise date the bundled group may be a pre-ordered bundle of line items. The line items are the products ordered. The method also includes associating rules with the bundle group, including at least one rule related to required notices. If at least one of the line items associated with a bundle group is not fulfilled by the promise date, compare the current date to the promise date, and apply the rules to the at least one line item in the bundle group. In some embodiments the notice will list the other line items not yet sent to the customer.
