Abstract: A method and system for developing low-code and no-code software applications in a visual programming environment uses data flow expressions in which processing steps are represented as homoiconic data expression statements recorded in a transaction log that is accessible to developers at all times and that follows ACID rules. Data flow expressions are written in an interface description language for easy readability by non-programmers. An internal replacement language represents the modeled application and produces executable code by applying a target language template, producing executable code in other programming languages without knowing how to code in those languages.

Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that can provide detector arrays that are able to avoid or limit saturation of SPAD devices from both ambient and reflected light while maintaining sufficient sensitivity to generate a lidar image. An example can provide a SPAD device having high dynamic range. This SPAD device can include a first cathode for a first diode and a second cathode for a second diode formed in a common anode, where the common anode can be formed of an epitaxial layer. When high sensitivity is desired, both the first diode and the second diode can be biased above their breakdown voltage. When a lower sensitivity is desired, the first diode can be biased above its breakdown voltage while the second diode can be biased below its breakdown voltage. Diode bias voltages can be tuned to steer photogenerated carriers towards the second cathode to further reduce sensitivity.

One example can provide a lidar system having emitter elements to emit optical signals and sensor elements to detect incident photons. The emitter elements can emit a first optical signal having a series of pulses at a first power level and a second optical signal having a series of pulses at a second power level. Following first pulses, the sensor elements can determine a number of photons detected during a first number of time bins that begin with an initial time bin and extend to a first time bin. Following the second pulses, the sensor elements can determine a number of photons detected during a second number of time bins beginning with the initial time bin and extending to a second time bin. The second power level can differ from the first power level and the second number can differ from the first number.

A pixel array can include an array of pixels, where at any given time, different pixels in the pixel array perform different tasks and are clocked by clock signals having different phases or delays relative to each other. This temporal dispersion of tasks and clock signals can spread clock induced current and voltage transients and emissions throughout a clock cycle, thereby reducing their maximum amplitude.
