Abstract: A parking brake emulator assembly for a vehicle is provided. The emulator assembly includes a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a front spring mounting flange with a spring mounting hole. The emulator assembly further includes a brake lever, a spring guiding rod, a spring, and a rear spring holder. The brake lever is rotatable relative to the mounting bracket into a neutral position and a brake application position. The spring guiding rod is coupled to the brake lever via a pinned connection, and extends through the spring and the rear spring holder. Rotation of the brake lever from the neutral position to the brake application position moves the pinned connection to thereby move the spring guiding rod and the rear spring holder towards the front spring mounting flange, thereby compressing the spring.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a people recommendation system for predicting and recommending relevant people (or other entities) to include in a conversation. In an exemplary embodiment, a plurality of conversation boxes associated with communications between a user and target recipients, or between other users and recipients, are collected and stored as user history. During a training phase, the user history is used to train encoder and decoder blocks in a de-noising auto-encoder model. During a prediction phase, the trained encoder and decoder are used to predict one or more recipients for a current conversation box composed by the user, based on contextual and other signals extracted from the current conversation box. The predicted recipients are ranked using a scoring function, and the top-ranked individuals or entities may be recommended to the user.
