  • Patent number: 12184304
    Abstract: Provided are systems, methods, and computer program products for protecting AV communications including a sender component and a receiver component from components of an AV system communicating via a shared memory buffer, the sender component configured to send one or more serialized communications to the receiver component, by controlling at least one processor to access a data block storing message data; obtain a first instruction for serializing a communication; obtain a second instruction for computing a CRC checksum; and interleave the CRC checksum with serialized message data to generate a communication within a communication channel, by computing a serialized communication of the message data in the data block based on the first instruction, while concurrently computing the CRC checksum for the message data based on the second instruction.

  • Patent number: 9943789
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to modular filtration cassettes for filtering liquids including, for example, liquids used in semiconductor manufacturing. A filter housing may define a filter cavity comprising an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The filter may further comprise a filter element disposed in the filter cavity. The filter element may at least partially overlap the filter inlet on a first side of the filter element. The filter element may comprise a rectangular pleated filter with a set of pleats having a first set of pleat tips on an upstream side of the filter element and a second set of pleat tips on a downstream side of the pleated filter.

  • Patent number: 9475255
    Abstract: A heat shield is generally provided, along with methods of making the heat shield and its use in a vehicle safety device (e.g., an airbag). In one embodiment, the heat shield includes a base substrate (e.g., a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, or a film); a heat resistant coating on the base substrate; and a first point-bonded sheet laminated to the heat resistant coating such that the first point-bonded sheet forms an outer surface of the heat shield with the heat resistant coating positioned between the first point-bonded sheet and the base substrate. The heat resistant coating generally comprises particles of an inorganic mineral (e.g., vermiculite, mica, or a combination thereof) dispersed within a film-forming binder (e.g., an acrylic resin, a styrene-butadiene rubber, a polyvinyl alcohol, an ethyl vinyl acetate resin, a phenolic resin, or a combination thereof).

  • Patent number: 9325811
    Abstract: A data processor and a method for processing data is disclosed. The processor has an input port for receiving packets of data to be processed. A master controller acts to analyze the packets and to provide a header including a list of processes to perform on the packet of data and an ordering thereof. The master controller is programmed with process related data relating to the overall processing function of the processor. The header is appended to the packet of data. The packet with the appended header information is stored within a buffer. A buffer controller acts to determine for each packet stored within the buffer based on the header within the packet a next processor to process the packet. The controller then provides the packet to the determined processor for processing. The processed packet is returned with some indication that the processing is done. For example, the process may be deleted from the list of processes.

  • Publication number: 20150187027
    Abstract: A method of controlling ordering and production of food products in a restaurant, constructing a composite queue from time slots associated with customers standing physical lines to place their orders at manual registers, and time slots associated with customers placing their orders electronically over a communications network, determining, in regard to a current order load states of at least some cooking areas in a kitchen, determining whether one of the load states varies from a pre-determined load state by a first threshold amount, and if so determining an increment to the service delay for the current order, and communicating information about the increment to the customer being served.
