    Abstract: Technologies are generally described herein to detect non-volatile write request sequences. A write request is received to write to a solid-state device that includes the non-volatile memory. A determination is made as to whether the write request is part of a non-volatile write request sequence or is not pan of the non-volatile write request sequence, in response to determining that the write request is part of the non-volatile write request sequence, the write request is associated with the non-volatile write request sequence. In response to determining that the write request is not part of the non-volatile write request sequence, the data associated with the write request is written to a cache that is coupled to the non-volatile memory. The data associated with the non-volatile write request sequences may be written directly to the non-volatile memory.

  • Smart trailer hitch control using HMI assisted visual servoing
    Patent number: 9696723
    Abstract: A method for autonomously aligning a tow hitch ball on a towing vehicle and a trailer drawbar on a trailer through a human-machine interface (HMI) assisted visual servoing process. The method includes providing rearview images from a rearview camera. The method includes touching the tow ball on a display to register a location of the tow ball in the image and touching the drawbar on the display to register a location of a target where the tow ball will be properly aligned with the drawbar. The method provides a template pattern around the target on the image and autonomously moves the vehicle so that the tow ball moves towards the target. The method predicts a new location of the target as the vehicle moves and identifies the target in new images as the vehicle moves by comparing the previous template pattern with an image patch around the predicted location.

    Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for tracking objects which are crossing behind a host vehicle. Target data from a vision system and two radar sensors are provided to an object detection fusion system. Salient points on the target object are identified and tracked using the vision system data. The salient vision points are associated with corresponding radar points, where the radar points provide Doppler radial velocity data. A fusion calculation is performed on the salient vision points and the radar points, yielding an accurate estimate of the velocity of the target object, including its lateral component which is difficult to obtain using radar points only or traditional vision system methods. The position and velocity of the target object are used to trigger warnings or automatic braking in a Rear Cross Traffic Avoidance (RCTA) system.
