  • Publication number: 20230054608
    Abstract: Techniques are described that enable automatic emergency braking (AEB) for a path-crossing target when a collision between a host vehicle and the target that is deemed imminent. Based on whether an acceleration of the host vehicle is above a threshold. Based on the acceleration, and, optionally, a location of the target relative to a crossing path (e.g., whether a portion of the target is within a suppression zone), an AEB system of the host vehicle is either activated or not activated, for example, suppressed. This suppression of the AEB system may include gating or nulling an AEB activation signal to prevent an emergency braking event. By managing the AEB system in a path-crossing scenario, many common false-positive AEB events (warnings, alerts, and/or braking) may be avoided. Furthermore, intentional vehicle maneuvers that comply with normal driving etiquette or rules can still be allowed for operator and passenger comfort, without risking safety.

  • Patent number: 11557359
    Abstract: A shift register and a gate driver circuit are provided. The shift register includes an input unit, an output unit, an electrostatic discharge unit and a reset unit. The input unit provides an input signal. The output unit is coupled to the input unit and a gate output terminal. The output unit outputs an output signal through the gate output terminal according to the input signal. The electrostatic discharge unit is coupled to the output unit. After the gate output terminal outputs the output signal, the electrostatic discharge unit pulls down a voltage of the gate output terminal according to a low gate voltage. The reset unit is coupled to the input unit and the output unit. After the electrostatic discharge unit pulls down the voltage of the gate output terminal, the reset unit resets a voltage of a bootstrap node.
