A determining unit generates a vehicle control signal according to the calculated reliability.

High efficiency, high output transmission having an aluminum housing

A transmission includes an input shaft coupled to a prime mover, a countershaft, main shaft, and an output shaft, with gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. A shift actuator selectively couples the input shaft to the main shaft by rotatably coupling gears between the countershaft and the main shaft. The shift actuator is mounted on an exterior wall of a housing including the countershaft and the main shaft. An integrated actuator housing includes a single external power access for the shift actuator. A controller interprets a shaft displacement angle, determines if the transmission is in an imminent zero or zero torque region, and performs a transmission operation in response to the transmission in the imminent zero or zero torque region.

Vehicle assist feature control

Upon determining a vehicle is in an off-road area based on sensor data, an off-road operation mode is enabled to an enabled state. Then, upon receiving a first user input selecting the off-road operation mode, one or more assist features are represented on a display in the vehicle. Then at least one of the assist features is selected based on a second user input. Then, after a key cycle initiated by a user that engages the vehicle from an off state to an on state, the selected assist feature is deactivated to a deactivated state.

Secure Camera Based Inertial Measurement Unit Calibration for Stationary Systems
20230039129 · 2023-02-09 ·

Described are techniques and systems for secure camera based IMU calibration for stationary systems, including vehicles. Existing vehicle camera systems are employed, with enhanced security to prevent malicious attempts by hackers to try and cause a vehicle to enter IMU calibration mode. IMU calibration occurs when a calibration system determines the vehicle is parked in a controlled environment; calibration targets are positioned at different viewing angles to vehicle cameras to act as sources of optical patterns of encoded data. Features of the patterns are for security as well as for alignment functionality. Images of the calibration targets enable inference of a vehicle coordinate system, from which calculations for IMU mounting error compensations are performed. A relative rotation between the IMU and the vehicle coordinate system are applied to IMU data to compensate for relative rotations between the vehicle and the IMU, thereby improving vehicle slope and bank metrics.

TRAINING A NEURAL NETWORK USING A DATA SET WITH LABELS OF MULTIPLE GRANULARITIES
20230042450 · 2023-02-09 ·

This disclosure describes systems and methods for training a neural network with a training data set including data items labeled at different granularities. During training, each item within the training data set can be fed through the neural network. For items with labels of a higher granularity, weights of the network can be adjusted based on a comparison between the output of the network and the label of the item. For items with labels of a lower granularity, an output of the network can be fed through a conversion function that convers the output from the higher granularity to the lower granularity. The weights of the network can then be adjusted based on a comparison between the converted output and the label of the item.
