  • Patent number: 12650908
    Abstract: Various example embodiments provide for injecting multiple faults in parallel into a circuit design during fault simulation of the circuit design based on functional independence of the faults, where the fault injection and simulation may be performed as part of an electronic design automation (EDA) software system. According to various example embodiments, a structural analysis of a circuit design is performed to determine fault observability per strobe and the results of the analysis are used to determine independent fault groups for parallel injection during fault simulation of the circuit design.

  • Publication number: 20260038196
    Abstract: To provide efficient triangle index mapping for an object-space shading, a geometry processing includes splitting UV coordinate data of an object to be shaded into UV layers so that each UV layer comprises non-overlapping triangles with coordinates within a 0-1 range, and generating triangle index, ID, information for the UV layers to be used for the object-space shading with a ray tracing of triangle IDs for sample points in the UV layers. As a result, a unique texture space with non-overlapping triangles within the 0-1 range is provided to store texture-space shading. A rendering apparatus configured for such geometry processing is beneficial to provide an efficient solution for building an object-space shading framework.

  • Patent number: 12351209
    Abstract: A method and device are disclosed for improved object detection in an area surrounding a robot. In the method, first and second sensing data are obtained, which can be assigned to a first or second sensing means of the robot, respectively, and which contain at least one portion of the area surrounding the robot. An objection detection of an object in the area surrounding the robot is carried out using a fusion of at least the first and the second sensing data. An item of redundancy information is generated, which is assigned to the object detection and at least indicates whether the detected object has been detected using only the first or only the second sensing data or whether the detected object or at least one or more sections of same has been detected redundantly using both the first and the second sensing data.

  • Publication number: 20250139405
    Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to generating training data, such that each instance of training data includes a corresponding instance of vision data and drivability label(s) for the instance of vision data. A drivability label can be determined using first vision data from a first vision component that is connected to the robot. The drivability label(s) can be generated by processing the first vision data using geometric and/or heuristic methods. Second vision data can be generated using a second vision component of the robot, such as a camera that is connected to the robot. The drivability labels can be correlated to the second vision data and thereafter used to train one or more machine learning models. The trained models can be shared with a robot(s) in furtherance of enabling the robot(s) to determine drivability of areas captured in vision data, which is being collected in real-time using one or more vision components.

  • Patent number: 11699877
    Abstract: A plug connector assembly includes first and second connector housings, a rotary lever, and a slide. The rotary lever has side faces each having a guide path into which in each case a guide pin on the second connector housing is inserted and is displaced along the guide path by rotation of the rotary lever whereby the connector housings move toward one another and electrical contact elements thereof connect. The slide is movable on the second plug connector housing. A driver element of the rotary lever cooperates in a form-fit manner with a driver element of the slide when the rotary lever rotates causing the slide to linearly move. A locking element of the slide is displaced relative to a locking element of the first connector housing when the slide linearly moves whereby a form-fit locking action between the locking elements may be established or cancelled.
