  • Publication number: 20240126120
    Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated with backlight illumination from a direct-lit backlight unit. The backlight unit may include an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on a printed circuit board. The display may have a notch to accommodate an input-output component. Reflective layers may be included in the notch. The backlight may include a color conversion layer with a property that varies as a function of position. The light-emitting diodes may be covered by a slab of encapsulant with recesses in an upper surface.

  • Patent number: 11961243
    Abstract: A geometric approach may be used to detect objects on a road surface. A set of points within a region of interest between a first frame and a second frame are captured and tracked to determine a difference in location between the set of points in two frames. The first frame may be aligned with the second frame and the first pixel values of the first frame may be compared with the second pixel values of the second frame to generate a disparity image including third pixels. One or more subsets of the third pixels that have a value above a first threshold may be combined, and the third pixels may be scored and associated with disparity values for each pixel of the one or more subsets of the third pixels. A bounding shape may be generated based on the scoring.

  • Patent number: 9990230
    Abstract: A system for scheduling a notebook execution includes an interface and a processor. The interface is to receive an indication to schedule a notebook for execution, wherein the indication comprises a scheduled time and a cluster. The processor is to determine whether it is the scheduled time; and in the event that it is the scheduled time: determine whether the cluster is running; and in the event that the cluster is not running, set up the cluster and cause the notebook to execute using the cluster.

  • Patent number: 7010770
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a cell definition comprises the steps of: identifying at least one connectivity target in at least one cell definitions identifying at least one circuit path in the at least one cell definition, the at least one circuit path containing or connected to a circuit portion containing the at least one connectivity target of the cell definition; predicting a routing path to be used by a router to connect a connectivity target in the at least one cell definition to another structure; and determining whether a combination of the predicted routing path and the circuit path causes a violation of an integrated circuit design rule.

  • Publication number: 20050026537
    Abstract: A toy for teaching the logical thought process of computer programming has a plurality of stackable blocks with each block having a memory for the storage of at least one computer programming instruction. When the plurality of stackable blocks are mechanically stacked, a plurality of instructions are electrically connected forming a computer program. A main block is configured so that the plurality of stackable blocks can be mechanically stacked on the main block. A computer is electrically connected to receive the computer program. A robot is connected to the computer, with the computer controlling the robot in response to the computer program.

  • Patent number: 4962743
    Abstract: A cam for controlling the injection rate of fuel in a fuel injection system having a four part cam profile is disclosed. The first 120.degree. is the plunger advancement segment. The next 80.degree. is the advanced dwell segment. The next 100.degree. is the plunger retraction segment and the last 60.degree. is the retracted dwell segment. The plunger advancement segment is divided into three subsegments: pre-injection stroke, injection stroke, and overtravel stroke. The pre-injection subsegment achieves minimum velocity and acceleration at the start of injection. In the injection subsegment, the cam follower acceleration is achieved as rapidly as can Hertz stress permits to increase the injection pressure and to achieve the maximum injection rate. The overtravel subsegment achieves a sharp and clean end of injection. Preferably, this cam causes injection of less than 20 mm.sup.3 of fuel per stroke during the first ten cam angle degrees of cam rotation.
