'''Brief explanation'''
 
This abstract describes a control method for an electromechanical parking brake. The method involves using an actuator-control unit to move the actuator of the parking brake. A writable, non-volatile memory unit is used to store position data about the current position of the actuator. If there is an error while writing the position data to the memory unit, the actuator will continue to be moved. However, once the error is detected, a synchronization process is initiated independently of the actuator movement. This process ensures that the position data stored in the memory unit accurately represents the actual position of the actuator.

This abstract describes a method and system for improving the performance of a machine learning model by generating training data. The process involves selecting a source image and a target image from a database. An image segmenter is used to create segmentation masks for both images, separating the foreground and background regions. The foreground and background regions are determined based on these masks. The target image's foreground is removed, and the source image's foreground is inserted into the target image, creating an augmented image with the source image's foreground and the target image's background. This augmented image is then added to the training data for the machine learning model.
