  • Publication number: 20240102554
    Abstract: An electric shift actuator includes a case body assembly, a case cover assembly covering the case body assembly, and a gear reduction mechanism assembly arranged in the case body assembly. The gear reduction mechanism assembly includes a motor subassembly, a face gear set, a first-stage gear reduction subassembly, and an output gear assembly configured to be connected to a parking mechanism. An output of the motor subassembly meshes with an input of the first-stage gear reduction subassembly in parallel to form first-stage gear reduction transmission, an output of the first-stage gear reduction subassembly vertically meshes with an input of the face gear set to form second-stage gear reduction transmission, and an output of the face gear set meshes with an input of the output gear assembly in parallel to form third-stage gear reduction transmission. The actuator has functions of emergency parking and manual unlocking with improved safety and redundancy.

  • Publication number: 20240079091
    Abstract: Various examples are provided related to phosphosite prediction. In one example, a system includes a computing device and an application for phosphosite prediction stored in memory. When executed, the application can cause the computing device to transform a protein sequence to a context-aware protein sequence by a Phosformer based transformer. The transformation can include predicting phosphorylation associations from the protein sequence based upon a trained Phosformer model and generating the context-aware protein sequence based upon the predicted phosphorylation associations, the context-aware protein sequence including a predicted phosphosite. The predicted phosphosite can be rendered for presentation to a user.

  • Patent number: 10305425
    Abstract: An RC oscillator has a variable capacitor that sets the output frequency. The variable capacitor has m binary-weighted switched capacitor arrays, and each binary-weighted switched capacitor array has binary-weighted capacitors. p binary bits are decoded into an m-bit thermometer code that selects one of the m binary-weighted switched capacitor arrays to use n binary bits to switch its binary-weighted capacitors. Other binary-weighted switched capacitor arrays have all their capacitors switched on, or all their capacitors switched off by the thermometer code. The smallest or unit capacitance of each binary-weighted switched capacitor array is adjusted to compensate for the non-linear reciprocal relationship of frequency being proportional to 1/RC. The unit capacitance is increased for each successive binary-weighted switched capacitor array to reset to the ideal linear relationship of the (p,n)-bit code to frequency.
