  • Patent number: 11681297
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle includes first and second road surface image obtaining devices that are located on a bottom surface of the vehicle body and obtain images of a road surface below the vehicle body, respectively. The autonomous vehicle also includes a memory unit that stores a map image of the road surface, the map image being associated with geographical location information. The autonomous vehicle further includes first and second self-location estimating units that each compare a feature extracted from the image of the road surface obtained by corresponding one of the first and second road surface image obtaining devices with a feature extracted from the map image, thereby estimating a self-location of the autonomous vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230140611
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for facilitating simulating golf play on golf courses. Further, the apparatus comprises a golf mat, a golf ball, an external sensor, a processing device, a storage device, and a communication device. Further, an internal sensor diposed in the golf ball generates internal sensor data based on detecting a striking parameter of a striking of the golf ball. Further, the external sensor generates external sensor data based on detecting a motion parameter of a motion of the golf ball. Further, the processing device analyzes the internal sensor data and the external sensor data, generates a path parameter of a path of the golf ball, and generates a representation of the golf ball and the path in an environment representation of a golf course based on the path parameter and golf course data. Further, the storage device retrieves the golf course data.

  • Patent number: 11053789
    Abstract: Estimating a production prediction of a target well includes computing, based on production time series from training wells, a smoothed production history curves. Each smoothed production history curve corresponds to a training well. Based on the smoothed production history curves, a fitting function defined by a set of fitting coefficients is selected. A machine learning process determines, based on a set of well parameters for each training well, a set of predicted fitting coefficients as a function of a set of well parameters of the target well. Estimating the production prediction further includes applying the predicted fitting coefficients to the fitting function to compute a production prediction curve for the target well, and presenting the production prediction curve.

  • Patent number: 5396170
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) test architecture and technique which can be used in conformity with the IEEE 1149.1 test standard and configured on a single chip. This chip can be remotely controlled via a PC or workstation to generate stimulus and collect response data to fully test an IC which matches the foot print of the test chip. The specified technique uses the IEEE test standard with additional logic on a single chip which permits at speed test functional test of ICs. The test chip can be connected to a PC or workstation via the four (4) channel Test Access Port. By remotely controlling the test chip from the PC or Workstation, stimulus and response data can be generated to completely test any Integrated circuit having a foot print matching the IC of the test chip. In one embodiment, the test chip is mounted on a probe card for at speed functional test of wafers. In another embodiment, the test chip is placed in a socket or adapter for at speed package level test.
