    Abstract: The invention introduces an apparatus for detecting errors during data encryption. The apparatus includes a search circuitry and a substitution check circuitry. The key generation circuitry is arranged operably to convert a first value of one byte corresponding to a plaintext, an intermediate encryption result, or a round key into a second value of a K-bit according to an 8-to-K lookup table, where K is an integer ranging from 10 to 15 and the second value comprises (K minus 8) bits of a Hamming parity. The substitution check circuitry is arranged operably to employ check formulae corresponding to the 8-to-K lookup table to determine whether an error is occurred during a conversion of the first value of the one byte into the second value of the K-bit, and output an error signal when finding the error, where a total amount of the formulae is K minus 8.

  • Publication number: 20240140487
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides autonomous vehicle systems and methods that include or otherwise leverage a machine-learned yield model. In particular, the machine-learned yield model can be trained or otherwise configured to receive and process feature data descriptive of objects perceived by the autonomous vehicle and/or the surrounding environment and, in response to receipt of the feature data, provide yield decisions for the autonomous vehicle relative to the objects. For example, a yield decision for a first object can describe a yield behavior for the autonomous vehicle relative to the first object (e.g., yield to the first object or do not yield to the first object). Example objects include traffic signals, additional vehicles, or other objects. The motion of the autonomous vehicle can be controlled in accordance with the yield decisions provided by the machine-learned yield model.

  • Publication number: 20240141133
    Abstract: A method for recycling polyethylene terephthalate, including obtaining flakes of polyethylene terephthalate which are re-polymerized using heat and/or a chain extender combined with an anti-yellowing agent to yield an average molecular weight of at least 40,000 Da and a tunable intrinsic viscosity of approximately 0.5 dl/g to 0.8 dl/g. Polyethylene terephthalate pellets are produced having a color deviation of approximately 2.5 or less from the re-polymerized 100 percent post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate flakes as raw material for formation of polyethylene terephthalate products. When compared to available rPET bottles, CIELAB color values show indiscernible color differences with the high quality rPET produced. Consequently, the high-quality rPET pellets produced are capable manufacturing PET bottles with 100% PCR content and a high number of repeated recycling cycles.
