  • Publication number: 20240158892
    Abstract: This application relates to Al—Mn—Zr based alloys, which when processed by (i) a conventional manufacturing technique (e.g. casting), (ii) an additive manufacturing technique utilizing a melting process, or (iii) a powder metallurgy process can provide a fabricated component with significantly improved strength, creep resistance and/or thermal stability at elevated temperatures, and printability in additive manufacturing and weldability in traditional manufacturing compared to conventional aluminum alloy.

  • Patent number: 10467551
    Abstract: A memory of a privacy server stores user data and user settings. A processor of the privacy server is programmed to receive user settings corresponding to a user of a journey planning application; receive user data from vehicles and mobility services; manage the user data of the user according to the user settings; and provide information to the journey planning application explaining benefits of the sharing of the user data. A mobile computing device receives responses to a set of questions unrelated to sharing of user data for determining settings, identifies user settings defining the sharing of user data consistent with data indicative of user settings of users who answered the questions in the same manner, and displays terms of service for the sharing of user data based on the user settings.

  • Patent number: 9621143
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to detecting and minimizing timing problems created by clock domain crossing (CDC) in integrated circuits. In various embodiments, one or more timing parameters are associated with a path that crosses between clock domains in an integrated circuit, where the one or more timing parameters specify a propagation delay for the path. In one embodiment, the timing parameters may be distributed to different design stages using a configuration file. In some embodiments, the one or more parameters may be used in conjunction with an RTL model to simulate propagation of a data signal along the path. In some embodiments, the one or more parameters may be used in conjunction with a netlist to create a physical design for the integrated circuit, where the physical design includes a representation of the path that has the specified propagation delay.
