  • Patent number: 12058084
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a physical layer interface device with an interface to a medium and a link controller. The link controller can attempt to form a link with another device through the interface. Based on failure to achieve link using a last successful configuration, an attempt to form a link with another device through the interface can include interleaving use of an IEEE 802.3 compatible auto-negotiation process with at least one attempt to form a link using a non-auto-negotiated mode. Based on failure to achieve link with the another device using any available link speed mode and forward error correction (FEC) scheme, an attempt is made using IEEE 802.3 compatible auto-negotiation without use of Next Pages.

  • Patent number: 12012089
    Abstract: A vehicle power testing system is described. The power testing system may provide power testing that displays maximum simultaneous power usage for multiple auxiliary devices drawing power from the vehicle power generation system over a span of time. The power testing system may initialize a power test using a simple user interface, determine a number of auxiliary devices predicted to be connected to the power generation system at a future time, and generate a power simulation profile for the multiple connected auxiliary devices. The power testing system may generate an indication of maximum aggregate power usage and an alert message indicating that multiple auxiliary devices may be simultaneously used while connected to the vehicle power generation system based on an aggregate power rating associated with the vehicle power generation system.

  • Patent number: 11994533
    Abstract: Infrared (IR) vibrational scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) has advanced to become a powerful nanoimaging and spectroscopy technique with applications ranging from biological to quantum materials. However, full spatiospectral s-SNOM continues to be challenged by long measurement times and drift during the acquisition of large associated datasets. Various embodiments provide for a novel approach of computational spatiospectral s-SNOM by transforming the basis from the stationary frame into the rotating frame of the IR carrier frequency. Some embodiments see acceleration of IR s-SNOM data collection by a factor of 10 or more in combination with prior knowledge of the electronic or vibrational resonances to be probed, the IR source excitation spectrum, and other general sample characteristics.
