    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for computer assisted or autonomous driving (CA/AD). An apparatus may include a trailer data collection unit and an automation level determination unit coupled with the trailer data collection unit. The trailer data collection unit may collect, from a trailer coupled with a CA/AD towing vehicle, trailer configuration data, including sensor configuration data for sensors disposed on the trailer. The automation level determination unit may determine a combined level of driving automation for the CA/AD towing vehicle and the trailer, based at least in part on the trailer configuration data, wherein the CA/AD towing vehicle alone has an initial level of driving automation. An apparatus for CA/AD may include a sensor configuration unit, a trailer configuration unit, and a communication interface coupled with the sensor configuration unit and the trailer configuration unit. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for analyzing a graph image in a disconnected mode, e.g., when a graph is rendered as .jpeg, .gif, .png, and so on, and identifying a portion of the graph image associated with a plot/curve of interest. The identified portion of the graph image may then be utilized to generate an adjusted image. The adjusted image may therefore dynamically increase visibility of the plot/curve of interest relative to other plots/curves, and thus the present disclosures provides additional graph functionalities without access to the data originally used to generate the graph. The disconnected graph functionalities disclosed herein may be implemented within an Internet browser or other “app” that may present images depicting graphs to a user.
