Operation and motion control, by a vehicle's ADAS or AD features, is improved in ways suitable to EVs having higher driving and handling performance. The vehicle dynamic model for high rates of lateral acceleration (e.g., sharp cornering or taking curves having a small radius of curvature as faster speeds) is improved by one or more of optimizing time cornering stiffness with a sigmoid function and/or altering front/rear steering angle to account for roll steer and compliance steer, based on vehicle testing. Indicators for lane departure warning or collision warning, evasive steering, or emergency braking are therefore reliably extended to allow higher performance maneuvers.

A method is disclosed for controlling the operating of a consumption appliance by way of a selector switch controlled by an energy saving device connected to a management center. The consumption appliance is kept in its default power mode, until receiving, by the energy saving device, an authentic secured control message sent by the management center. This message includes a command onto the mode in which the consumption appliance has to be switched. A counter is initialized with an initialization value before to be triggered. The consumption appliance is switched in the mode indicated by the command, either until the counter has reached a threshold value, or until receiving another authentic control message. If the counter has reached the threshold value, then the consumption appliance is switched in its default power mode. If another authentic secured control message has been received, then returning to the step of initializing the counter.

An EtherCAT device is disclosed. The EtherCAT device comprises a data input port to receive a signal representing data, the signal representing one of a plurality of possible logical values; and a degradation calculation circuit. The degradation calculation circuit is to read, demodulate, and convert the received signal into a digital domain representation; process the digital domain representation into slices, where the value of the received signal at a respective time is represented in a respective one of the slices; determine differences between the respective slices and reference slices; identify an intended logical value of the received signal responsive to the determined differences; determine a quantification of error at the respective time responsive to the identified logical value and the determined differences; and determine a signal quality index responsive to the determined quantification of error.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an in-situ flow detection method and an electronic device. The method includes: receiving a first service packet carrying a first packet header, where the first packet header includes at least a first in-situ flow detection option which is added to the first packet header by an ingress node of a first network domain and is for indicating an in-situ flow detection; and when the network device is an ingress node of a second network domain, forwarding a second service packet in the second network domain; where the second service packet is obtained by encapsulating a second packet header in an outer layer of the first service packet, the second packet header includes at least a second in-situ flow detection option.

An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a transport, over an open wireless network an encrypted software update and receiving, by the transport, over a closed wireless network a one-time key to decrypt the encrypted software update, wherein the one-time key is received while the transport is in motion and about to perform an action related to the software update.

A method of releasing an output-suppressed control state in an air conditioning system that includes a control device configured to control one or more air conditioners, and a management device configured to be connected to the control device via a network to transmit, to the control device, a command to control output suppression of an air conditioner from among the one or more air conditioners to cause the air conditioner to be in the output-suppressed control state, includes a confirmation step of confirming whether communication between the control device and the management device is disconnected; and a transmission control step of, in a case where the communication between the control device and the management device is not disconnected, prohibiting transmission of a command to release the output-suppressed control state to the control device without intervention of the management device, and in a case where the communication between the control device and the management device is disconnected, allowing transmission of the command to release the output-suppressed control state to the control device without intervention of the management device.

Methods and systems are described for enabling an operative coupling to a network. In use, first data is received at a first node in a first network. The first data is forwarded between the first node to a second node in a second network, using a network relay. Additionally it is determined that a specified decoupling condition is met, and subsequent to forwarding the first data and in response to determining that the decoupling condition is met, the second operative coupling is disabled while the first operative coupling remains enabled for receiving second data for forwarding.
