Publication number: 20240104282Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for bit flip aware latch placement in integrated circuit generation are provided. The method identifies a chip design for an integrated circuit. A set of chip design constraints, associated with the chip design, is identified. A set of checking groups, associated with a plurality of latches to be placed in the chip design, is determined. Based on the set of chip design constraints and the set of checking groups, a placement scheme for the plurality of latches is selected. The method places the plurality of latches within the chip design based on the placement scheme and the set of checking groups.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Benjamin Neil Trombley, Chung-Lung K. Shum, Paul G. Villarrubia, K. Paul Muller, Michael Hemsley Wood, Daniel Arthur Gay, Hua Xiang, Karl Evan Smock Anderson, Erica Stuecheli, Michael Alexander Bowen, Randall J. Darden

Patent number: 11925177Abstract: A continuously variable nozzle system includes a nozzle body (5) with an inlet and an outlet. A conduit is defined between the inlet and the outlet by a series connection of components which includes a flow meter (10). The flow meter (10) has a chamber (83) with internal helical splines (82) that are configured to interact with a spray liquid passing through the chamber (83) and create a cyclone-like effect. A sphere (52) is located inside the chamber (83) for free movement along a circular path (106). A sensor is located outside of the chamber (83) and configured to detect motion of the sphere (52) and generate an output (9) signal in response to detected motion.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2019Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Intelligent Agricultural Solutions LLCInventors: Marshall T. Bremer, Nicholas Butts, Todd A. Meidinger, Benjamin J. Wolbaum, Daniel R. Wood, Jr., Michael D. Schmidt

Patent number: 11256090Abstract: An augmented reality display system includes an electromagnetic field emitter to emit a known magnetic field in a known coordinate system. The system also includes an electromagnetic sensor to measure a parameter related to a magnetic flux at the electromagnetic sensor resulting from the known magnetic field. The system further includes a depth sensor to measure a distance in the known coordinate system. Moreover, the system includes a controller to determine pose information of the electromagnetic sensor relative to the electromagnetic field emitter in the known coordinate system based at least in part on the parameter related to the magnetic flux measured by the electromagnetic sensor and the distance measured by the depth sensor. In addition, the system includes a display system to display virtual content to a user based at least in part on the pose information of the electromagnetic sensor relative to the electromagnetic field emitter.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Samuel A.
