Patent number: 9952837Abstract: A system and method supports reusing model components or component artifacts in a first modeling environment where the model components or artifacts were created in a second environment. An interface to the model components or artifacts from the first modeling environment is analyzed, and compared to an interface from the second environment. A wrapper object is constructed to convert between differences identified among the two interfaces. Utilizing the wrapper object, the model components or component artifacts are reused in the second environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: David Maclay, Jonathan J. Fielder

Patent number: 9697020Abstract: The automatic generation of a real-time scheduler for scheduling the execution of tasks on a real-time system is disclosed. The scheduler may allow task overruns in the execution of the tasks on the real-time system. The task overruns may occur when the execution of a task for a current sample hit is not completed before a next sample hit. When the task overruns occur, the scheduler may delay the execution of the task for the next sample hit until the execution of the task for the current sample hit is completed. The execution of the task for the next sample hit is performed after the execution of the task for the current sample hit is completed.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: The Mathworks, Inc.Inventor: David Maclay

Patent number: 9268536Abstract: A device receives a model that includes model elements scheduled to execute in time slots on a hardware device. The device identifies time slots, of the time slots, that are unoccupied or underutilized by the model elements, and identifies a set of model elements that can be moved to the unoccupied time slots without affecting a behavior of the model. The device calculates a combined execution time of the model elements, determines whether the combined execution time of the model elements is less than or equal to a duration of a first time slot of the time slots, and schedules the model elements for execution in the first time slot when the combined execution time of the model elements is less than or equal to the duration of the first time slot.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: David MacLay, Matej Urbas

Patent number: 8457945Abstract: A model may be constructed and simulated using processor-in-the-loop co-simulation at a target device. In one implementation, a host environment may provide a graphical environment that facilitates construction of the model defined as a plurality of functional blocks. The host environment may receive, via graphical selection menus associated with the blocks of the model, an indication of which blocks of the model are to simulated at an external target device and which blocks of the model are to be simulated at the host environment. Further, the host environment may receive a command, that may be entered interactively by a user, to start simulation of the model and execute, in response to the command, co-simulation of the model at the host environment and the external target device.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2012Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: The Mathworks, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan Fielder, David MacLay

Publication number: 20040195040Abstract: An air induction system includes a duct that defines a passage for airflow to the engine. The duct is substantially clear of obstructions to improve airflow that in turn provides improved engine performance. A speaker generates sounds to provide a desirable engine sound. A controller drives the speaker to generate desired tones and sounds responsive to engine operation. The sounds generated by the speaker enhance, improve and provide desirable and proportional acoustic performance more reflective of the improved engine performance provided by the improved airflow.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2004Publication date: October 7, 2004Inventors: Manish Vaishya, John R.
