  • Publication number: 20180089604
    Abstract: Described are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing real-time supply chain response planning. Described embodiments operate by receiving, from a client device, a request that specifies a quantity of a product requested by a deadline. Then, a list of constraint variants associated with the product is identified from a constraint variants table. Each constraint variant in the list is associated with a net-availability table stored in a column-store in-memory database. Based on the constraint variants table, a required capacity for each constraint variant in the list to satisfy the request is determined. To determine whether the required capacity is satisfied for each constraint variant, the request is simulated within a current supply chain plan by aggregating an available capacity for each constraint variant using one or more columns of the associated net-availability table. Based on the simulated request, a result is sent to the client device.

  • Patent number: 9659962
    Abstract: Semiconductor devices and methods of manufacture thereof are disclosed. A complimentary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device includes a PMOS transistor having at least two first gate electrodes comprising a first parameter, and an NMOS transistor having at least two second gate electrodes comprising a second parameter, wherein the second parameter is different than the first parameter. The first parameter and the second parameter may comprise the thickness or the dopant profile of the gate electrode materials of the PMOS and NMOS transistors. The first and second parameter of the at least two first gate electrodes and the at least two second gate electrodes establish the work function of the PMOS and NMOS transistors, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9618472
    Abstract: In a method for operating a heatable exhaust-gas sensor, which supplies at least one measuring signal and in which a sensor heater is operated using a pulse-width modulated operating voltage, the detection of the at least one measuring signal has priority over the supply of the pulse-width modulated operating voltage for sensor heater, and at least during a predefined time window in which the measuring signal is detected, the supply of the pulse-width modulated operating voltage for the sensor heater is suppressed using a blocking signal.

  • Patent number: 9423792
    Abstract: In a method for suppressing interference in a controlled variable in a control circuit, in which the actuating variable is the useful signal, the controlled variable is detected continuously, at two successive sampling instants in each case, the values of the controlled variable are subtracted, and if the absolute amount of the difference deviates by a predefinable setpoint value, at least one control parameter is modified, in such a way that the response of the actuating variable to the interference is minimized.
