Patent number: 11984837Abstract: A method for determining an angular position of a rotating component is disclosed. A sensor system is positioned at a radial distance from an axis of rotation of the rotating component. A magnetic ring is arranged fixedly and concentrically on the rotating component, generating a magnetic field that changes with respect to the sensor system. The sensor system detects the magnetic field in which a signal is captured and evaluated with respect to the angular position. Errors in the measurement of the angular position can be corrected. The signal captured by the sensor system is evaluated with respect to the amplitude information of the magnetic field. A correction parameter is determined from the amplitude information, and an angle error is of the angular position is determined based on the correction parameter. The angle error is used to correct the angular position.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO. KGInventors: Jie Zhou, Wai-Wai Buchet, Paul Walden

Patent number: 11977605Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that implement an automatically evolving code recommendation engine. In one example, the apparatus collects a user code snippet. The apparatus then determines a structured representation of the user code snippet. Next, the apparatus generates a recommended code snippet using the structured representation of the user code snippet. Then the apparatus obtains user-determined code snippet feedback comparing the user code snippet to the recommended code snippet, the user-determined code snippet feedback indicating one of a match, no match, or uncertain. Finally, the apparatus stores a code snippet training pair in a training database, the code snippet training pair including the user code snippet and the recommended code snippet.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Justin Gottschlich, Niranjan Hasabnis, Paul Petersen, Shengtian Zhou, Celine Lee

Patent number: 11977281Abstract: A silicon on insulator (SOI) photonic device having a waveguide is provided that includes a mode overlap portion with a topology optimized structure situated below an electrode of the capacitance structure. The device can significantly change a refractive index in a volume of mode overlap depending upon the applied potential to the capacitor and allows for a ? phase shift in a modest mode overlap volume. The topology optimized structure has a waveguide and substrate that are partitioned in three dimensions using an extruded projection design. The electrode is a transition metal di-chalcogenide monolayer sheet (2D TMD). The enhanced mode overlay from the topology optimized waveguide portion allows a large reduction in the length of the waveguide with the mode overlap to achieve the needed phase shift for a photonic device.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.Inventors: Sean P. Rodrigues, Paul Donald Schmalenberg, Yuqing Zhou, Ercan Mehmet Dede

Patent number: 11935756Abstract: A method for patterning a layer increases the density of features formed over an initial patterning layer using a series of self-aligned spacers. A layer to be etched is provided, then an initial sacrificial patterning layer, for example formed using optical lithography, is formed over the layer to be etched. Depending on the embodiment, the patterning layer may be trimmed, then a series of spacer layers formed and etched. The number of spacer layers and their target dimensions depends on the desired increase in feature density. An in-process semiconductor device and electronic system is also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Inventors: Baosuo Zhou, Mirzafer K.
