Publication number: 20250037438Abstract: A computer that includes a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to input an image to a first neural network to generate a first detected object and input the image to a second neural network to generate a reconstructed image which is input to a third neural network to generate a second detected object. The image can be divided into portions and the portions input to respective fourth neural networks to generate portions of a third detected object. The first detected object, the second detected object, the portions of the third detected object, and context data can be input to a partially observable Markov decision process to generate a high confidence detected object.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicants: Ford Global Technologies, LLC, The Regents of the University of MichiganInventors: John Moore, Subhadip Ghosh, Ziwei Zeng, Junho Hong, Jaerock Kwon, Aydin Zaboli, Kuchan Park

Patent number: 12172534Abstract: A vehicle power supply device is provided. The vehicle power supply device includes: a fixed base; a scissor-fork lifting mechanism, where the scissor-fork lifting mechanism is mounted on the fixed base; a power supply head, where the power supply head is mounted on the scissor-fork lifting mechanism and is driven by the scissor-fork lifting mechanism to ascend or descend; and a drive device, where the drive device includes a drive unit and a transmission unit configured to convert rotational movement into linear movement. The drive unit and the transmission unit are stacked along a lifting direction of the scissor-fork lifting mechanism. The drive unit is connected with the scissor-fork lifting mechanism by the transmission unit to drive the scissor-fork lifting mechanism to ascend or descend.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2020Date of Patent: December 24, 2024Assignee: BYD COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Pengfei Li, Chaorui Wu, Ziwei Zeng

Publication number: 20230376805Abstract: A system receives identification of data to be gathered, via a request configured based on a configuration file associated with a machine learning model stored by a vehicle. The system receives identification of how the data is to be labeled, defined by the configuration file and create one or more topics for publication of the data, onboard the vehicle, the publication including both the gathered data and any meta-data usable to label the data in accordance with the definitions in the configuration file. Also, the system subscribes to the topics to receive the published data and the metadata and appends labels to the data, using the metadata, to label the data in accordance with the definitions for labeling in the configuration file. The system saves the labeled data in vehicle memory as data associated with the model.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Harsh Bhupendra BHATE, Vyacheslav ZAVADSKY, Ziwei ZENG, Senthil Kumar NATARAJAN, Uttara THAKRE, Panduranga Chary KONDOJU, Aishwarya Vaibhav KADAM

Publication number: 20230376801Abstract: A system subscribes to one or more inference topics to which inferences are published on behalf of trainable software models executing in a vehicle computing environment. The system receives inferences from the topics as the inferences are published to the topics and associates the inferences with one or more trainable software models to be monitored. Also, the system identifies instances of unexpected output based on comparison of received inferences, associated with a given model to be monitored, to expected inference values identified in a configuration file, stored in a vehicle memory and associated with the given model, and, responsive to identifying the unexpected output, devises a modification strategy for the model based on characteristics of the unexpected output.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2022Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Zaydoun Rawashdeh, Ziwei Zeng, Sahib Singh, Harsh Bhupendra Bhate, Suresh Vairamuthu Murugesan, Uttara Thakre

Publication number: 20230376803Abstract: A system receives identification of a machine learning model, stored by a vehicle, that is ready for training. The system determines, based on a configuration file associated with the model, whether batch-based or live training is to be used to train the model and collects data for training, defined by a configuration file associated with the model. The system calls a learning as a service vehicle process to load a kernel and configures the kernel based on configuration data defined in the configuration file. The system receives notification from the learning as a service process that the training is complete. Additionally, the system validates a model, responsive to the notification including indication that training was successful, using a vehicle model validation process to test the model with live data before deployment by background execution of the model and saves a copy of the model for deployment responsive to successful validation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Uttara THAKRE, Harsh Bhupendra BHATE, Sahib SINGH, Zaydoun RAWASHDEH, Ziwei ZENG, Senthil Kumar NATARAJAN, Vyacheslav ZAVADSKY, Sajit JANARDHANAN, Suresh Vairamuthu MURUGESAN
