Abstract: The use of plasma to clean or sterilize items can be particularly advantageous for items that cannot be readily washed or cleaned by standard methods. The toxicity and complications generating sufficient plasma makes it hard to use for such purposes. The subject invention addresses the problem by generating a minimal amount of highly reactive plasma to sterilize an item. This is achieved by reducing the amount of space and ambient air around and within the item. In this way, the plasma generated fills only the required volume of the item to be cleaned and the plasm is directed at the object, not directed at or released into non-target areas.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of autonomous driving, and in particular to methods for updating an autonomous driving system, autonomous driving systems, and on-board apparatuses. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the autonomous driving system, in a manual driving mode, senses the surrounding environment of a vehicle, performs vehicle positioning, and plans a path for autonomous driving for the vehicle. However, the autonomous driving system does not issue an instruction to control the driving of the vehicle. Instead, it compares the path with a path along which a driver drives the vehicle in the manual driving mode to update a planning and control algorithm of the autonomous driving system. As such, the updated autonomous driving system better caters to the driving habits of the driver and improves the driving experience for the driver without compromising the reliability of planning and decision-making of autonomous driving.

The closing force helps to maintain physical and electrical contact between the moving contact and an associated stationary contact, so that the moving and stationary contacts form a path for conducing electric current through the switching device. The closing spring assembly is configured so that the closing force remains constant or decreases as the moving contact is driven away from the stationary contact during switching of the current path away from the moving and stationary contacts.
