摘要： A bundling system with improved locking tie head comprising a smooth planar strap and a locking head with two flexible independent L-shaped pawls. One end of the pawl is anchored in the locking head. The locking head has two transverse pawl cavities allowing flexural movement of the pawl during insertion of the planar strap and locking engagement to prevent withdrawal of the strap.

摘要： This disclosure describes barcode scanning techniques for an image capture device. The image capture device may automatically detect a barcode within an image while the image capture device is operating in a non-barcode image capture mode, such a default image capture mode. In one aspect, the detection of the barcode within the image may be based on a combination of identified edges and low intensity regions within the image. The image capture device may configure, based on the detection of the barcode, one or more image capture properties associated with the image capture device to improve a quality at which the images are captured. The image capture device captures the image in accordance with the configured image capture properties. The techniques may effectively provide a universal and integrated front-end for producing improved quality images of barcodes without requiring significant interaction with a user via a complicated user interface.

摘要： Vehicle perception techniques include obtaining a training dataset represented by N training histograms, in an image feature space, corresponding to N training images, K-means clustering the N training histograms to determine K clusters with respective K respective cluster centers, wherein K and N are integers greater than or equal to one and K is less than or equal to N, comparing the N training histograms to their respective K cluster centers to determine maximum in-class distances for each of K clusters, applying a deep neural network (DNN) to input images of the set of inputs to output detected/classified objects with respective confidence scores, obtaining adjusted confidence scores by adjusting the confidence scores output by the DNN based on distance ratios of (i) minimal distances of input histograms representing the input images to the K cluster centers and (ii) the respective maximum in-class.

摘要： A vehicle includes a controller area network (CAN) and a plurality of a controllers in communication with each other via the CAN, wherein each controller of the plurality of controllers is configured to time-stamp messages transmitted via the CAN using a vehicle-wide synchronized clock, determine a worst-case transmission delay via the CAN based on the time-stamps for messages received from other controllers of the plurality of controllers, and based on the worse-case transmission delay, set a dynamic recovery timer for a malfunctioning controller of the plurality of controllers to recover after its malfunction, wherein the dynamic recovery timer prevents a particular controller that was malfunctioning but has since recovered from being incorrectly designated as a malfunctioning controller in need of service.
