Patent number: 12284068Abstract: A non-transitory device-readable medium, which may be embodied in a device, such as a radar receiver, stores instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, are configured to perform operations to identify a region of interference. An analog signal is generated based on received signals reflected from a target object and an interfering object. The analog signal is converted to an initial time-domain data set. Processing circuitry is configured or instructed to perform a transform operation on the initial time-domain data set to generate a frequency-domain data set, based on which a region of interference may be identified. Subsequent operations may be performed to facilitate identification of the region of interest including thresholding, inverse transforming, subtracting, and/or combining. The processing circuitry may be further configured or instructed to generate repaired time-domain data from which corrupted time-domain samples to remove data associated with the interfering object.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2023Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Peter Aberl, Sandeep Rao, Anil Mani

Patent number: 11811574Abstract: A method is provided. In some examples, the method includes performing, by processing circuitry, a first transform operation on a first time-domain data set to generate a frequency-domain data set. In addition, the method includes determining, by the processing circuitry, that at least one portion of the frequency-domain data set satisfies a first threshold magnitude. The method also includes performing, by the processing circuitry, an inverse transform operation on the at least one portion of the frequency-domain data set to generate a second time-domain data set. The method further includes identifying, by the processing circuitry and based on the second time-domain data set, a region of interference in the first time-domain data set.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Peter Aberl, Sandeep Rao, Anil Mani

Patent number: 11336757Abstract: A circuit includes a buffer, a first programmable real-time unit (PRU), and a second PRU. The first PRU is coupled to the buffer and configured to couple to an input interface. The first PRU is further configured to receive first data sampled by the input interface and receive second data sampled by the input interface. The first PRU is further configured to multiplex the first data and the second data to generate multiplexed data and transmit the multiplexed data to the buffer. The second PRU is coupled to the buffer and configured to couple to an output interface. The second PRU is further configured to obtain the multiplexed data from the buffer and transmit the multiplexed data via an Ethernet physical layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Thomas Anton Leyrer, Peter Aberl

Patent number: 9187891Abstract: A system for collection, containment, and disposal of contaminated fluids includes a flexible hulled containment vessel having at least one resilient deformable wall and a flow directing apparatus with a body that extends into the containment vessel during use, and an exterior portal that extends from the containment vessel in use. The flow directing apparatus provides fluid communication from an interior of the containment vessel while resisting collapse of the deformable wall during removal of contaminated fluid therefrom. A body of the flow directing apparatus includes side wall apertures spaced along a length thereof, sized to accommodate solids expected to be in the contaminated fluids. Bridge structures help resist collapse. A diameter of the body may be larger than a diameter of the exterior portal, which may further resist collapse. The containment vessel may be foldable for transport or storage.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Inventor: Tracy Peter Aberle

Patent number: 7159138Abstract: Method and apparatus for serial data transfer between at least two modules (10, 12) connected to each other by way of a serial data bus (18) where the data transfer is governed by a clock signal (CLK). The modules (10, 12) each comprise a receiver unit (30) for the reception of the data and a transmitter unit (22) for the transmission of data. The output of a data value by the transmitter unit (22) of one module (12) to another module (10) at the serial data bus (18), and the import of the data value by the receiver unit (30) of the corresponding other module (10) are initiated by slopes of the clock signal (CLK). The clock signal that triggers the transmission of this data value in the one module (12) is delayed via a delay element (38) one pulse repetition period (?TP) of the clock signal (CLK).Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2002Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Peter Aberl, Ralf Eckhardt

Patent number: 7085325Abstract: In a serial interface unit (10) for the transmission and reception of data under the control of clock signals, the data are output from a data source to a data output (24) via an output driver (22). A transmit monitor (52) compares the data supplied by the data source with the data received at the data output (24) via the output driver (22). The transmit monitor outputs an error signal when the data so compared do not coincide.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2002Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Peter Aberl, Ralf Eckhardt
