  • Patent number: 11959614
    Abstract: A vehicle light device includes a light guide member including a light exist portion that has light exit surfaces, and a light reflection portion that has light reflection surfaces. Each light exit surface is convex, and defines a real focal point disposed forwardly of the light reflection portion. Each light reflection surface is concaved and disposed forwardly of the light exist portion, and defines a virtual focal point superimposed on the real focal point of one of the light exit surfaces, so as to reflect light rays from a light emitter unit into the light guide member toward the respective light exit surface, such that extension lines of the light rays reflected therefrom intersect at the virtual focal point.

  • Patent number: 11797744
    Abstract: A specification for a semi-conductor chip is received. The specification specifies a set of photomasks associated with a metal layer of the semi-conductor chip. Multiple portions of an area of the metal layer are identified. A respective image is generated for each portion of the area based on the photomasks. A respective drawn density of metal wires for each portion of the area is calculated. A trained machine learning model is invoked to predict a respective silicon density of metal wires for each respective portion of the area based on an image and a drawn density for the respective portion of the area. A silicon density for the area of the metal layer is calculated based on a combination of predicted silicon densities for the multiple portions of the area. The combination is based on an average value of the predicted silicon densities for the multiple portions of the area.
