    Abstract: A safety system for bicycles includes a radar, a controller, and a warning apparatus, which includes a tube, a vibrating motor, and an impact sounder. The vibrating motor includes a rotary shaft and an eccentric block. The impact sounder includes an elastic member and an impact block. The elastic member includes a first end fixed to the inner wall of the tube and a second end connected to the impact block. When the controller decides to issue a warning based on a radar signal, it outputs a control signal to drive the rotary shaft to rotate. The rotation of the rotary shaft drives the eccentric block to rotate and vibrate, and the eccentric block strikes the impact sounder to make the impact block hit the inner wall and thus generate an impact force and emit a sound. The warning apparatus simultaneously provides the bicycle rider with vibrating, impacting, and audible warning.

  • Patent number: 12292946
    Abstract: A method for implementing formal verification of an optimized multiplier via symbolic computer algebra (SCA)-satisfiability (SAT) synergy includes: systematically recovering, by a reverse engineering algorithm, an adder tree from an optimized multiplier; 2) generating, by a constraint satisfaction algorithm, a reference multiplier only by using an adder based on a constraint condition; and 3) combining, by an SCA-based and SAT-based verification method, complementary advantages of SCA and SAT. In the verification framework, the method introduces a reference multiplier generator for generating a correct reference multiplier. The correct reference multiplier has both a structure similar to a structure of the optimized multiplier and a clear adder boundary. The clear adder boundary allows proving correctness of the correct reference multiplier through SCA-based verification.
