Patents by Inventor Chad M. Van Fleet

Chad M. Van Fleet has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11982747
    Abstract: Systems and methods generate synthetic sensor data, such as synthetic radar, lidar, and/or sonar data from three dimensional (3D) scene data that may be custom designed. Reflectivity coefficients in the radar, lidar, and/or sonar spectrums may be determined for objects included in the 3D scene data. The reflectivity coefficients may be utilized by a game engine for computing the synthetic sensor data. The synthetic sensor data may be used in the creation, evaluation, and/or verification of a design for a controller or other system that utilizes such data.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9519739
    Abstract: A method, tangible computer-readable medium and apparatus for concurrently executing subsystems in a graphical model is provided. An embodiment can transform a conventional graphical model supporting single threaded execution into a model supporting multi-threaded execution through the replacement of a single block. The transformed model may support concurrent execution of a plurality of subsystems using a plurality of threads when the graphical model executes. An embodiment provides a user interface that allows a user to intuitively configure a model for current execution of the subsystems.
