  • Patent number: 12009612
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for coupling packaged devices with a socket device. In an embodiment, the socket device comprises a socket body structure and conductors extending therethrough. A pitch of the conductors is in a range of between 0.1 millimeters (mm) and 3 mm. First and second metallization structures also extend, respectively, from opposite respective sides of the socket body structure. In the socket body structure, a conductive shield structure, electrically coupled to the first and second metallization structures, substantially extends around one of the conductors. For each of the first and second metallization structures, a vertical span of the metallization structure is in a range of between 0.05 mm and 2.0 mm, a portion of a side of the metallization structure forms a respective corrugation structure, and a horizontal span of the portion is at least 5% of the vertical span of the metallization structure.

  • Patent number: 11916322
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for coupling packaged devices with a dual-sided socket device. In an embodiment, two interfaces of the socket device comprise, respectively, first metallization structures and second metallization structures on opposite sides of a socket body structure. The first metallization structures each form a respective corrugation structure to electrically couple with a corresponding conductive contact of a first packaged device. The corrugation structures facilitate such electrical coupling each via a vertical wipe of the corresponding conductive contact. In another embodiment, a pitch of the first metallization structures is in a range of between 0.1 millimeters (mm) and 2 mm. One such metallization structure has a vertical span in a range of between 0.05 mm and 2.0 mm, where a portion of a side of the metallization structure forms a corrugation structure, and has a horizontal span which is at least 5% of the vertical span.

  • Patent number: 11414122
    Abstract: According to one or more embodiments, a steer by wire steering system includes a handwheel actuator, a roadwheel actuator, and a resynchronization module to dynamically adjust handwheel position that is used for rack position reference calculation. The dynamic adjustment includes determining a desynchronization amount based on a difference in an actual handwheel position and a synchronized handwheel position. The dynamic adjustment further includes computing a handwheel adjustment using the desynchronization amount, a vehicle speed, and a handwheel speed. The dynamic adjustment further includes computing an adjusted handwheel position based on the handwheel adjustment and the actual handwheel position. The dynamic adjustment further includes updating the reference rack position based on the adjusted handwheel position. The dynamic adjustment is continuously repeated until the handwheel adjustment is substantially equal to zero.
