  • Publication number: 20220388601
    Abstract: A method for controlling electronic shifting of a bicycle includes identifying, by a processor, sensor data. The sensor data identifies a state of the bicycle. The processor determines a rider engagement status based on the identified sensor data. The processor determines a target cadence based on the determined rider engagement status. The processor determines a cadence band based on the determined target cadence. The electronic shifting of the bicycle is controlled based on the determined cadence band. The controlling of the electronic shifting of the bicycle includes actuating a motor of the bicycle for electronic shifting of the bicycle when a cadence of the bicycle is outside of the determined cadence band.

  • Publication number: 20220392551
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described to program memory cells and control bit line discharge schemes during programming based on the data pattern. The memory controller can predict program data pattern based on SLC pulse number and TLC data completion signals and use these signals to adjust when the inhibited bit lines can discharge. Once a TLC program operation have more one data, the memory controller will enable EQVDDSA_PROG to equalize to VDDSA, and then discharge. In SLC program, the memory controller will enable EQVDDSA_PROG only in first program pulse and disable it thereafter.

  • Publication number: 20220387200
    Abstract: Systems and methods for deploying one or more stents within a bifurcated vessel are disclosed. A bifurcation-stent can include a main-branch portion and first and second side-branch portions each mechanically attached to the main-branch portion. The first and second side-branch portions are mechanically attached together at a branch point proximate the distal end of the main-branch portion. The bifurcation-stent can be disposed on two balloon catheters for deployment to a bifurcation. The bifurcation-stent is advanced within a main branch until it reaches the carina of the bifurcation, such as when the branch point abuts the carina. The bifurcation-stent can be deployed by inflating the balloon catheters such that the main-branch portion is disposed in the main vessel and the first and second side-branch portions are disposed in separate, respective side branches of the bifurcation.

  • Publication number: 20220391314
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically generating a fault-enabled software development kit (SDK) to test an application. The generating includes determining one or more faults based on codes associated with the SDK and a frequency of occurrences of faults while executing the SDK. A fault injector automatically injects the determined faults in select layers of code in the SDK and generates fault configuration data associated with the automatically injected faults in the SDK. The fault configuration data describes faults that have been injected in the fault-enabled SDK to test an application. The fault-enabled SDK tests the application without needs for modifying the application code for testing purposes. The fault-enabled SDK further provides types of faults that may be common in using the SDK without requiring application developers to have detailed understanding of internals of the SDK to test the application with simulated faults.
