Abstract: A system obtains scene context data characterizing the environment. The scene context data includes data that characterizes a trajectory of an agent in a vicinity of a vehicle up to a current time point. The system identifies a plurality of initial target locations, and generates, for each of a plurality of target locations that each corresponds to one of the initial target locations, a respective predicted likelihood score that represents a likelihood that the target location will be an intended final location for a future trajectory of the agent. For each target location in a first subset of the target locations, the system generates a predicted future trajectory for the agent given that the target location is the intended final location for the future trajectory. The system further selects, as likely future trajectories of the agent, one or more of the predicted future trajectories.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and standard module for amplifying pulsed power. The key point of the technical solution is as follows: a method for amplifying pulsed power is formed by means of the joint action of a LASER mode of a crystal medium, a carrier multiplication amplification mode of a semiconductor medium, and a plasma breakdown amplification mode of a gas medium. Electric power which is amplified is converted into optical power first, the optical power is amplified again, and the amplified optical power is converted into electric power again by a photoelectric conversion and amplification device. A gas switch is triggered based on a photoconductive switch to generate a timing-synchronized high-power electric pulse. The high-power electric pulse may be directly outputted or distributed in multiple channels to obtain multiple timing-synchronized trigger signals. In combination with pulse charge of a capacitor, multiple timing-synchronized high-power electric pulses are outputted.

Abstract: A demodulator in a receiver performs timing detection timing by generating first and second correlation results based on correlation of a first and second training sequence received by the receiver against a known first and a known second training sequence. Third correlation results are generated based on correlation of the first training sequence combined with the second training sequence with the known first training sequence and the known second training sequence. The demodulator detects respective peaks in the first correlations results and the second correlations results and a plurality of peaks in the third correlation results. A true peak in the plurality of peaks corresponding to an end of the second training sequence is identified based on a first peak in the first correlation results and a second peak in the second correlation results.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improving fusion bonding are disclosed. Plasma treatment is performed on a substrate prior to the fusion bonding, which leaves residual charge on the substrate to be fusion bonded. The residual charge is usually dissipated through an electrically conductive silicone cushion on a loading pin. In the methods, the amount of residual voltage on a test silicon wafer is measured. If the residual voltage is too high, this indicates the usable lifetime of the silicone cushion has passed, and the electrically conductive silicone cushion is replaced. This ensures the continued dissipation of residual charge during use in production, improving the quality of fusion bonds between substrates.

In a tracking mode of operation, the Kalman filter based phase-locked loop adjusts the error correction signal to maintain the error between the received signal and a predicted signal at or near zero.
