Abstract

In some examples, a system obtains an approximation function for a machine learning (ML) model, the approximation function providing an approximate representation of a latent representation of latent features in a latent space produced by the ML model. The system presents a visualization of the latent features using the approximation function, and the system generates a refined latent space based on user input in the visualization. The system generates an explanation regarding which latent features of the latent space are primary contributors to a decision of the ML model.

Abstract

Method and devices for coding point cloud data using an angular coding mode. The angular coding mode may be signaled using in an angular mode flag to signal that a volume is to be coded using the angular coding mode. The angular coding mode is applicable to planar volumes that have all of their occupied child nodes on one side of a plane bisecting the volume. A planar position flag may signal which side of the volume is occupied. Entropy coding may be used to code the planar position flag. Context determination for coding may take into account angular information for child nodes or groups of child nodes of the volume relative to a location of a beam assembly that has sampled to point cloud. Characteristics of the beam assembly may be coded into a dedicated syntax in the bitstream.

Abstract

An asset detection device and method of using a mmWave radar to determine whether a container is mounted to a transport chassis. The reflected signal may include multiple peaks and may be ambiguous. The device may determine if a peak is within a container range and is above a threshold magnitude. If the peak is not the highest peak in the reflected signal the device may disambiguate the signal by filtering it using a stored average no-container signal. If the peak is not the highest peak in the reflected signal the device may disambiguate the signal by determining if the highest peak is due to multipath. In some cases no peaks may be both above the threshold and within the container range, in which case the device determines there is no container present. The device reports container status determinations and reflected signal analysis to a remote server.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods to monitor and control of a fine tailing flocculation process using image capture of the fine tailings and processing the lightrelated data with an inter quartile range (IQR) trimmed estimator to quantify the degree of flocculation, which can be used for process control. The IQR method includes processing the light-related data such that the indicator of the degree of flocculation is independent of tailings density, tailings clay content and/or image brightness. The determined degree of flocculation can then be used in a process for flocculating and dewatering oil sands fine tailings, such as mature fine tailings (MFT), by controlling parameters such as flocculant mixing and dosage.

Abstract

An asset detection device and method of using a mmWave radar to determine whether a container is mounted to a transport chassis. The reflected signal may include multiple peaks and may be ambiguous. The device may determine if a peak is within a container range and is above a threshold magnitude. If the peak is not the highest peak in the reflected signal the device may disambiguate the signal by filtering it using a stored average no-container signal. If the peak is not the highest peak in the reflected signal the device may disambiguate the signal by determining if the highest peak is due to multipath. In some cases no peaks may be both above the threshold and within the container range, in which case the device determines there is no container present. The device reports container status determinations and reflected signal analysis to a remote server.

Abstract

Methods and systems for dynamically routing pulse-code modulated (PCM) audio subchannels to one or more sink devices using a software-based router. The PCM router may set a pre-conversion buffer in the conversion path to a sink device for a particular subchannel if the source PCM fragment size differs from the sink fragment size. It may also compare characteristics of the audio subchannel to the sink device to identify a mismatch and, on that basis, configure the conversion path to include a sample rate converter, a channel converter, or a format converter, as needed. Subchannels can be dynamically routed to two or more sink devices and routing may be changed during playback.

Abstract

In some examples, a system includes an operating system (OS) kernel, one or more hardware processors, and a kernel scheduler. The kernel scheduler receives a first indication that a first thread is to wait for an event, receives a second indication that the first thread has transitioned to a blocked state in which the first thread is blocked on the event, and receives a third indication from a second thread delivering the event, the third indication to unblock the first thread. In response to the third indication, the kernel scheduler causes a transition of the first thread from the wait state to an active state if the first thread is in the wait state and has not yet transitioned to the blocked state, and causes a transition of the first thread from the blocked state to a ready state if the first thread is in the blocked state.

Abstract

Methods and systems for controlling an asset tracking device and, in particular, determining when an asset tracking device attached to a trailer is in close proximity to a truck. The device may enter a sleep mode when the trailer has been coupled to a truck with an electronic logging device (ELD). Thereafter, the device ceases obtaining a GPS location and transmitting the location to a central server. While the trailer and truck remain coupled, the device leverages the ELD by using it to send its GPS location to the central server and therefore, prolong its battery life.
