Publication number: 20250076954Abstract: Hierarchical Power Management (HPM) architecture considers the limits of scaling on a power management controller, the autonomy at each die, and provides a unified view of the package to a platform. At a simplest level, HPM architecture has a supervisor and one or more supervisee power management units (PMUs) that communicate via at least two different communication fabrics. Each PMU can behave as a supervisor for a number of supervisee PMUs in a particular domain. HPM addresses these needs for products that comprise a collection of dice with varying levels of power and thermal management capabilities and needs. HPM serves as a unified mechanism than can span collection of dice of varying capability and function, which together form a traditional system-on-chip (SoC). HPM provides a basis for managing power and thermals across a diverse set of dice.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2024Publication date: March 6, 2025Inventors: Vivek GARG, Ankush VARMA, Krishnakanth SISTLA, Nikhil GUPTA, Nikethan Shivanand BALIGAR, Stephen WANG, Nilanjan PALIT, Timothy Yee-Kwong KAM, Adwait PURANDARE, Ujjwal GUPTA, Stanley CHEN, Dorit SHAPIRA, Shruthi VENUGOPAL, Suresh CHEMUDUPATI, Rupal PARIKH, Eric DEHAEMER, Pavithra SAMPATH, Phani Kumar KANDULA, Yogesh BANSAL, Dean MULLA, Michael TULANOWSKI, Stephen Paul HAAKE, Andrew HERDRICH, Ripan DAS, Nazar Syed HAIDER, Aman SEWANI

Patent number: 11642747Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for aligning multiple parts using simultaneous scanning of features of different parts and using feature-based coordinate systems for determining relative positions of these. Specifically, a feature-based coordinate system may be constructed using one or more critical dimensions between features of different parts. The scanner may be specifically positioned to capture each of these critical dimensions precisely. The feature-based coordinate system is used to compare the critical dimensions to specified ranges. The position of at least one part may be adjusted based on results of this comparison using, for example, a robotic manipulator. The process may be repeated until all critical dimensions are within their specified ranges. In some embodiments, multiple sets of features from different parts are used such that each set uses its own feature-based coordinate system. The part adjustment may be performed based on the collective output from these multiple sets.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2019Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Byungwoo Lee, Michael Yee-Chih Wang
