  • Vehicle dynamic obstacle compensation system
    Patent number: 10634794
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an obstacle awareness device for vehicle systems. A threshold distance is set that identifies the range at which an obstruction interferes with fluid dynamics around and through at least one propulsion motor. One or more ranging sensors on the vehicle system detect relative position information of the obstruction when it is within the threshold distance. The relative position information is communicated to a controller, which adjusts a motor control signal to compensate for the obstruction interfering with the fluid dynamics around the at least one propulsion motor. The threshold distance may be defined by a three dimensional shape that encapsulated the vehicle system 100, and the three dimensional shape may change in shape or size with movement of the vehicle system.

  • Non-volatile memory device with periodic refresh and method of programming such a device
    Patent number: 7567464
    Abstract: A non-volatile memory device includes a network of non-volatile memory cells, each comprising a floating-gate transistor, said network of cells being intended to store data in the form of a set of data words. The device includes a circuit which detects loss of charges stored in the cells and then reprograms the cells for which a loss of charges has been detected so as to restore the level of stored charges.
