Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automatically predicting a risk score of a user login attempt by receiving a user login attempt and generating a login feature vector associated with the user login attempt. The systems and methods further train a machine learning technique to establish a relationship between the login feature vector and the risk score. The trained machine learning technique is applied to new user login attempts to predict a risk score associated with the login attempt and issue an authentication challenge to the user if the risk score exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide systems and methods for confirming the identity of a passenger and changing destination of a vehicle. This may include receiving dispatching instructions to pick up a first passenger at a pickup location and to drop off the first passenger at a first destination as well as authentication information for authenticating a first client computing device of the first passenger. Once the client device is authenticated and a second passenger enters the vehicle, the vehicle is maneuvered towards the first destination. While doing so, a location of the vehicle is compared to location information received from the client computing devices. A notification is sent to a dispatching server based on the comparison and a second destination location is received in response. The vehicle is then maneuvered towards the second destination instead of the first destination.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for tensor data distribution using a direct-memory access agent includes generating, by a first controller, source addresses indicating locations in a source memory where portions of a source tensor are stored. A second controller may generate destination addresses indicating locations in a destination memory where portions of a destination tensor are to be stored. The direct-memory access agent receives a source address generated by the first controller and a destination address generated by the second controller and determines a burst size. The direct-memory access agent may issue a read request comprising the source address and the burst size to read tensor data from the source memory and may store the tensor data into an alignment buffer. The direct-memory access agent then issues a write request comprising the destination address and the burst size to write data from the alignment buffer into the destination memory.

Abstract: The present invention relates to silicon-based powders and a method for producing the silicon-based powders. The method for producing the silicon-based powders includes a hydrolysis step of a silicon precursor having an alkoxy group, a condensation step and a drying step. By a specific weight ratio of water to the silicon precursor having the alkoxy group and a silicon precursor having a secondary amino group and an alkyl group, in the method for producing the silicon-based powders, the condensation step can be performed without organic solvents, and a modification on silicon-based gels can be performed to enhance a safety of processes and a hydrophobicity of the resulted silicon-based powders, and decrease a thermal conductivity and a bulk density of the resulted silicon-based powders.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fiber composite material and a method for producing the fiber composite material. The method for producing the fiber composite material includes a hydrolysis step of a silicon precursor having an alkoxy group, an in-situ condensation step and a drying step. A specific silicon precursor having a secondary amino group and alkyl groups is used therein, as well as a specific weight ratio of the silicon precursor to a fiber material, the in-situ condensation step can be performed in the absence of organic solvents in the method for producing the fiber composite material, and a hydrophobic modification on silicon-based gels can be performed, thereby simplifying the process, decreasing a thermal conductivity of the resulted fiber composite material and preventing drop dust of the resulted fiber composite material.

Abstract: A data writing control device includes a control signal generator, a data strobe enable signal generator and a data strobe index generator. The control signal generator receives a write command, a preamble setting value and a latency setting value, and generates an internal write pulse and preamble information according to the write command, the preamble setting value and the latency setting value. The data strobe enable signal generator is coupled to the control signal generator and generates a data strobe pipeline enable signal according to the internal write pulse and the preamble setting value. The data strobe index generator is coupled to the data strobe enable signal generator, and generates a plurality of data strobe indexes according to the data strobe pipeline enable signal and the preamble information.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide systems and methods for recognizing an assigned passenger. For instance, dispatching instructions to pick up a passenger at a pickup location are received. The instructions include authentication information for authenticating a client computing device associated with the passenger. A vehicle is maneuvered in an autonomous driving mode towards the pickup location. The client device is then authenticated. After authentication, a set of pedestrians within a predetermined distance of the vehicle are identified from sensor information generated by a sensor of the vehicle and location information is received over a period of time from the client device. The received location information is used to estimate a velocity of the passenger. This estimated velocity is used to identify a subset of set of pedestrians that is likely to be the passenger. The vehicle is stopped to allow the passenger to enter the vehicle based on the subset.
