  • Patent number: 11966587
    Abstract: A method for optimizing a Polar-RNNA quantizer of MLC NAND flash based on deep learning comprises the following steps: Step S1: transforming an MLC flash detection task into a deep learning task, and obtaining three hard-decision read thresholds based on a neural network; Step S2: expanding six soft-decision read thresholds based on the three hard-decision read thresholds; Step S3: constructing an LLR mapping table, and obtaining new LLR information of MLC flash based on the LLR mapping table; Step S4: symmetrizing an MLC flash channel, and performing density evolution; and Step S5: optimizing the soft-decision read thresholds based on a genetic algorithm to obtain an optimal quantization interval. According to the invention, polar codes can be directly used for MLC flash channels without the arduous work of MLC flash channel modeling, so that the reliability of MLC flash is effectively improved.

  • Publication number: 20240092292
    Abstract: The concepts include a user support system in the form of a microphone, a visual display arranged in a vehicle cabin, and a controller. The controller includes an instruction set that is executable to receive, via the microphone, a voice-based request from a user, and employ a virtual assistant to determine a user interaction in real time and to determine a specific intent for the voice-based request, including capturing metadata. A user interaction routine determines a user interaction parameter associated with the virtual assistant based upon the voice-based request from the user. A user sentiment analysis routine determines a user satisfaction parameter associated with the virtual assistant based upon the voice-based request from the user. The controller responds in real-time to the voice-based request based upon the user satisfaction parameter and the user interaction parameter that are associated with the virtual assistant.

    Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a body defining a passenger compartment and having opposing driver and passenger sides. The vehicle includes driver and passenger side mirrors. The driver side mirror has a sweep angle (?) and an elevation angle (?). The passenger side mirror has a sweep angle (?). The side mirrors are separated from each other by a distance (D). An adjustable driver seat has a height (H). An electronic controller, in response to position signals inclusive of angles (?), (?), and (?), the distance (D), and the height (H), calculates a three-dimensional (3D) driver head position of a driver of the vehicle, and thereafter uses the 3D driver head position to improve performance of a driver assist system device. Functions of the controller may be implemented as a method or recorded on a computer readable medium for execution by a processor.
