  • Patent number: 10814891
    Abstract: Systems and methods for obstacle avoidance with a self-driving vehicle are provided. The system comprises a processor connected to the self-driving vehicle and a sensor in communication with the processor. The sensor is configured to detect objects. The processor is configured to receive a measurement of the self-driving vehicle's speed, and define a sensor region based on the speed. The processor can determine that an object detected by the sensor is within the sensor region, and then initiate a fail-safe routine. The sensor region may be defined based on a range parameter. The sensor region may be defined based on the stopping distance of the vehicle. The sensor region may be redefined when the vehicle's speed changes.

  • Patent number: 10649070
    Abstract: The complex temporal-spatial variation of raindrop size distribution will affect the precision of quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) produced from radar data, making it difficult to correct echo attenuation. This invention presents a method for regional attenuation correction of weather radar using a multiple microwave links (ML) network. By measuring the rain attenuation of multiple microwave links in a specific frequency, matching with the weather radar in time and space and processed with discretization. Based on a series of attenuation values of the microwave link network and combined iterations, the attenuation coefficient of each grids is obtained; the total attenuation value of the path is obtained by combining the distance between the radar and each grid point, by which the reginal attenuation of radar echo can be corrected by the ML network efficiently.

  • Publication number: 20200073699
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a datastore having a plurality of records of a transaction-monitoring system, a first record representing a first instance of a transaction. The datastore includes a first layer and a second layer. A first record hash code, based on the first record, is compared to a template hash code set that includes one or more template hash codes, where each template hash code corresponds to a respective transaction in a set of one or more known transactions. The first record is inserted into the first layer of the datastore. The first record is inserted into the second layer of the datastore, based at least in part on the first record hash code not being found in the template hash code set.

  • Publication number: 20200022660
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for cardiac triggering of an imaging system. a method for an imaging system comprises acquiring, during a scan of a subject, an electrical signal indicating a periodic physiological motion of an organ of the subject, inputting a sample of the electrical signal into a trained neural network to detect whether a peak is present in the sample, triggering acquisition of image data responsive to detecting the peak in the sample, and not triggering the acquisition of image data responsive to not detecting the peak in the sample. In this way, the timing of data acquisition may be optimally and robustly synchronized with a cardiac cycle.
