Patent number: 11965787Abstract: An example microelectromechanical system (MEMS) force sensor is described herein. The MEMS force sensor can include a sensor die configured to receive an applied force. The sensor die can include a first substrate and a second substrate, where a cavity is formed in the first substrate, and where at least a portion of the second substrate defines a deformable membrane. The MEMS force sensor can also include an etch stop layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a sensing element arranged on a surface of the second substrate. The sensing element can be configured to convert a strain on the surface of the membrane substrate to an analog electrical signal that is proportional to the strain.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: NextInput, Inc.Inventors: Julius Minglin Tsai, Ryan Diestelhorst, Dan Benjamin

Publication number: 20230393895Abstract: Systems and methods for automated resource allocation during a computational simulation are described herein. An example method includes analyzing a set of simulation inputs to determine a first set of computing resources for performing a simulation, and starting the simulation with the first set of computing resources. The method also includes dynamically analyzing at least one attribute of the simulation to determine a second set of computing resources for performing the simulation, and performing the simulation with the second set of computing resources.

Patent number: 11669656Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to move the solving of multi-physics engineering simulations away from specific CAE, or combination CAD and CAE, applications. In one embodiment, an Application Programming Interface (API) is provided that can be integrated into any device, system, application, or software workflow. The API exposes a series of functions or modules that a user can use to create a simulation file that includes parameters such as a model for the simulation, physics for the simulation, timings for the simulation, and other parameters. The simulation file may then be executed on one or more nodes of a cloud-based computer cluster, and the results of executing the simulation can be provided back to the user. The user may then visualize the results using their preferred device, software, application, or workflow.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: OnScale, Inc.Inventors: Robbie Banks, Gerald Harvey, Andy Tweedie, Ryan Diestelhorst, Josh Oster-Morris, Laura Carcione, Scott McClennan, Jonathan McLaughlin, Jeff Dobson, Ian Campbell, David Freed
