  • Publication number: 20240270281
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for calibrating and aligning automotive sensors, such as advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) sensors. Embodiments include a system having an image sensor mounted on a fixture in a known pose relative to the fixture. The image sensor is for viewing a target disposed on a vehicle and having a known pose relative to the vehicle, and for capturing image data of the target. A data processor is provided for performing the steps of calculating, using the image data, a pose of the target; calculating a pose of the image sensor relative to the vehicle using the calculated pose of the target; and generating instructions for positioning the fixture at a predetermined pose relative to the vehicle using the calculated pose of the image sensor relative to the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11255608
    Abstract: Heat exchanger assemblies for electronic devices are disclosed. A heat exchanger assembly may include a heat transfer body that has a face that forms open passageways. A cover structure may be attached to the heat transfer body in a manner to enclose the open passageways, thereby forming a heat exchanger assembly that includes enclosed fluid conduits. In this regard, the enclosed fluid conduits may form complex and intricate patterns within the heat exchanger assembly that are tailored to the heat requirements of a particular application. Heat exchanger assemblies as described herein may be thermally coupled to a center waveguide section of a spatial power-combining device. The enclosed fluid conduits may be tailored based on locations of amplifiers within the center waveguide section to provide improved thermal operation of the spatial power-combining device.

  • Patent number: 10685017
    Abstract: Methods and systems for efficient query rewriting and the like are described here. One such described method comprises: offline mapping frequently-seen search queries to rewritten queries that may be better for searching; offline caching the mapping in a cache memory; and upon receiving a search query from a user similar to one of the mapped search queries, obtaining a corresponding rewritten query from the mapping in the cache memory based on predetermined conditions, and issuing a search of the rewritten query to the backend data system in order to avoid having to issue a search query to the backend data system twice while the user is online.
