    Abstract: A floor structure for a body of a vehicle includes two side sills spaced apart from each other in a transverse direction of the vehicle. A main floor element is disposed between the two side sills. An energy store is disposed under the main floor element. A crossmember element is disposed on an upper side of the main floor element and extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle between the two side sills. A hollow cross section of the crossmember element is delimited upwardly in the vertical direction of the vehicle by an upper flange of the crossmember element and is supplemented by the main floor element to form a closed hollow cross section. A reinforcement element is attached to the main floor element via a first attachment region and is attached to the upper flange via a second attachment region and a third attachment region.

  • Patent number: 11734457
    Abstract: A processor that was manufactured by a manufacturer comprises privileged debug operational circuitry, a debug restriction fuse, a credential store, a credential of the manufacturer in the credential store, and debug control circuitry. The debug restriction fuse is a one-time programmable fuse. The debug control circuitry is to automatically restrict access to the privileged debug operational circuitry, based on the debug restriction fuse. The processor may also include public debug operational circuitry, a prevent-unauthorized-debug (PUD) fuse, and an undo-PUD fuse. When the PUD fuse is set and the undo-PUD fuse is clear, the debug control circuitry may respond to an attempt by a debugger to use the public debug operational circuitry by determining whether the debugger is authorized, disallowing access if the debugger is not authorized, and allowing access if the debugger is authorized. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20220371128
    Abstract: An apparatus for laser processing of very wide non-woven fabric materials at high speeds. This invention enables a laser beam to sever, perforate and pattern a large piece of fabric materials planarly disposed at regular or irregular spatial intervals over the entire width while the fabric passes from one roller to another roller at high speeds by precisely managing focus and intensity of the beam at the focal point on the web. A control system managing the laser processing system enables rapid reconfiguration of perforation patterns. The fabric can be woven or nonwoven, homogeneous or nonhomogeneous material with uniform or nonuniform thickness. An optical sensor is provided to sense the laser processing as it is performed and provide feedback to a system controller to optimize laser processing performance in real time.
