Abstract: The present disclosure provides a single-inductor multiple-output voltage converter, a power supply chip, and an electronic device, where the single-inductor multiple-output voltage converter comprises an energy generation circuit, an energy distribution circuit, a peak-inductor-current detection circuit, a zero-inductor-current detection circuit, and a control logic circuit. The aforementioned converter can provide multiple different output voltages using a single inductor without multiple operational amplifiers, thereby avoiding excessive bandwidth demand associated with multiple operational amplifiers, thus reducing power consumption.

Abstract: An abnormal path analysis method and apparatus, and an electronic device are provided. The method comprises: obtaining data of an actual fulfillment path of a logistics object, wherein the actual fulfillment path comprises one or more routes connecting a plurality of fulfillment centers on the actual fulfillment path; obtaining data of a standard planned path corresponding to the logistics object, wherein the standard planned path comprises one or more routes connecting a plurality of fulfillment centers on the standard planned path; comparing the data of the actual fulfillment path with the data of the standard planned path to generate route comparison results; and obtaining detailed mis-distribution data of the logistics object according to the route comparison results.

Abstract: A system for assisting in aligning a vehicle for hitching with a trailer includes an imaging system, a vehicle control system including at least one vehicle sensor, and a controller. The controller controls the vehicle using the vehicle control system to move the vehicle into an aligned position, where a hitch ball on the vehicle is aligned with the coupler, including monitoring a signal from the vehicle sensor and tracking a position of the coupler relative to the hitch ball in image data. When the signal indicates an unintended stopped vehicle state, the controller determines a distance from the hitch ball to the coupler. If the distance is above a predetermined threshold, the controller controls the vehicle control system to cause the vehicle to move. If the distance is below the predetermined threshold, the controller indicates the unintended stopped vehicle state to a driver of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for identifying a trailer connection for a vehicle includes storing a plurality of connection configurations as saved configurations. The connection configurations identify a hitch compatibility of a coupler of a trailer to a hitch assembly. The method further comprises capturing image data depicting the hitch assembly and processing the image data. Based on the processing of the image data, the method further identifies a detected hitch configuration of the hitch assembly as a first hitch configuration of the saved configurations.

Abstract: A vehicle hitch assistance system includes a controller acquiring data from an external portable electronic device including position and orientation data of a trailer, including a coupler thereof, and deriving a vehicle path to align a hitch ball of the vehicle with the coupler using the position and orientation data of at least one of the trailer and the coupler.

Abstract: A vehicle system comprises a hitch ball mounted on a vehicle and a controller configured to identify a coupler position of a trailer. The controller is further configured to control motion of the vehicle aligning the hitch ball with the coupler position and monitor a height of the coupler relative to the hitch ball. In response to the coupler height being less than a height of the hitch ball, the controller is configured to stop the motion of the vehicle.
