  • Patent number: 12615229
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of communicating on a shared medium is provided. A node computing device receives an incoming message via the shared medium and determines, based on the incoming message, whether the node computing device is the next computing device assigned to transmit on the shared medium. In response to determining that the node computing device is the next computing device assigned to transmit via the shared medium, the node computing device detects an end of the incoming message, and, in response, transmits an outgoing message via the shared medium. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of managing communication between node computing devices is provided. A maestro computing device transmits one or more configuration messages to establish a transmission order for the set of node computing devices to transmit messages on the shared medium, and transmits a start message that initiates the transmission order.

  • Publication number: 20250362384
    Abstract: A method for the model-based, high-resolution separation of radar targets for a radar sensor, in which the radar sensor initially generates radar data by capturing radar targets by sampling a field of view of the radar sensor. Various model orders are calculated for the number of radar targets with the aid of a grid-based method and are interleaved in one another. A highest model order is specified, and only the highest model order is calculated, so that the lower model calculations are implicitly produced from the calculation of the highest model order.

  • Patent number: 12405842
    Abstract: An apparatus for synchronizing participants of a simulation, including: a plurality of partitions, a backplane, and a synchronizer. Each partition is configured to run a respective simulation participant independently from other simulation participants. The backplane connects the plurality of partitions and is configured to transfer data between the plurality of partitions. The data include time stamps indicating a partition time of a simulation participant on at least one partition. The synchronizer is configured to synchronize the multiple partitions by stopping the running simulation participant of the at least one partition, when a time stamp of the running simulation participant is outside a synchronization window. The synchronization window has a predetermined time length indicating a range of acceptable time stamps (T1, T2) and starts with time (T0) associated with a time stamp of a slowest running simulation participant.

  • Patent number: 12362476
    Abstract: A digital isolator includes a receiver configured to receive digital raw data at a primary side of the digital isolator. A digital-to-digital encoder is disposed at the primary side of the digital isolator. The digital-to-digital encoder is configured to create coded data. One or more digital isolators are configured to transmit the coded data across a transformer and an isolation barrier to create output coded data. A digital-to digital decoder is disposed at a secondary side of the digital isolator. The digital-to digital decoder is configured to decode the output coded data to create decoded data, determine error in coupling across the digital isolator based on the decoded data and the digital raw data, and provide an error signal based the error in coupling across the digital isolator.

  • Patent number: 12294380
    Abstract: A data channel includes a power constrained first channel portion to receive energy from a limited power source and a non-power constrained second channel portion to receive energy from a different power source than the first channel portion. The first channel portion includes an ADC circuit to output an ADC data sample, a first transmitter circuit configured to serially transmit data that includes ON bits and OFF bits, and logic circuitry configured to derive transmit data from the ADC data sample. The transmitter circuit uses more energy transmitting the ON bits than the OFF bits, and the derived transmit data has a reduced number of the ON bits from the ADC data sample. The second channel portion includes a first receiver circuit to receive the derived transmit data from the first transmitter circuit of the first channel portion.

  • Patent number: 11927045
    Abstract: A fuel filler flap module of a motor vehicle includes a carrier, a fuel filler flap which is pivotably mounted on the carrier and is designed to be movable between a closed position and an open position, and a movement mechanism designed to move the fuel filler flap from the closed position into the open position and back into the closed position. The movement mechanism has a mechanical deployment element which is arranged on the carrier and which is designed to exert a deployment force acting into the open position on the fuel filler flap, wherein the movement mechanism has a motor-driven deployment means which is designed to push the fuel filler flap with an auxiliary force from the closed position up to an initial deployment position, which lies between the closed position and the open position, wherein the auxiliary force is greater than the deployment force.
