Abstract: Coordinate measurement data such as point cloud data associated with coordinate measurement machine data is reduced in a strategic and systematic manner by segmenting and/or reducing data based on nominal geometric information contained in an electronic file such as a CAD model or a coordinate measurement machine inspection plan. For example, in one embodiment, a software application is used to identify geometric features and tolerances within a CAD model of an object, and to segment coordinate measurement data of a physical object based on the identified geometric features and tolerances from the CAD model. The various segments of coordinate measurement data may be assigned different data requirements, and the data may be reduced in different manners on a feature-by-feature basis.

Using the Bezier curves, the electronic horizon application provides curvature, slope, and heading profiles to the ADAS applications.

Abstract: A device receives variants associated with a model generated in a graphical modeling environment, and determines a hierarchy of the variants based on a hierarchy of the model. The device receives mode information for the variants, where the mode information includes a subset of a number of variant permutations. For each mode, the device receives control variables for the variants and optional constraints for the variants in the mode. The control variables define which variants are active, and the optional constraints ensure modeling correctness by enabling identification of conflicts between the variants. The device generates a variant manager tool based on the hierarchy of the variants, the mode information, the control variables, and the optional constraints, and outputs or stores variant information via the variant manager tool.

Abstract: Clock distribution schemes in emulation systems are typically complex and use significant resources. The present disclosure is generally directed to clock distribution to emulation chips using a serial interconnect mesh. A clock distribution tree is overlayed on the emulation chips allocated to a user's circuit design, the tree branching from a root emulation chip using selected serial interconnections and covering each allocated emulation chip. The emulation chips can recover a clock from received serial signals. The delay associated with each interconnection is determined and used by configuration software when creating the distribution tree. To start emulation stepping synchronously, each emulation chip is configured to know its delay from the root emulation chip. A message is sent from the root emulation chip to each branch emulation chip triggering a timer to countdown a time until emulation is to begin, allowing the emulation chips to start stepping in lockstep.

Abstract: Automatic driver modeling is used to integrate human-controlled vehicles into an autonomous vehicle network. A driver of a human-controlled vehicle is identified based on behavior patterns of the driver measured by one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle. A model of the driver is generated based on the behavior patterns of the driver measured by the one or more sensors of the autonomous vehicle. Previously stored behavior patterns of the driver are then retrieved from a database to augment the model of the driver. The model of the driver is then transmitted from the autonomous vehicle to nearby vehicles with autonomous interfaces.

Abstract: A performance value DB stores multiple states of parts comprising a system, and the consumed power of parts in those states. In addition, a condition DB stores conditions when the states of the parts change. A calculator generates state sequences in which the states are arrayed in the order of change in accordance with conditions stored in the condition DB, when information indicating the states of the parts is not communicated. The calculator computes the percentage of the time the parts are in each state per unit time for each state comprising this state sequence. Furthermore, the calculator finds the products of the computed ratios and the consumed power stored in the performance value DB for each state comprising the state sequence, and estimates the sum of the products found as the consumed power of the part.
