  • Publication number: 20250259674
    Abstract: A low-power static random access memory (SRAM) for at-memory architecture is set forth. The on-chip SRAM in at-memory architecture is located adjacent to PE (Processing Element) so that the same voltage as PE, vddp, is required at the SRAM circuit connected to PE. Further lower bitline precharge voltage, around 0.1V, than vddp is designed by smart charge sharing method using appropriate segmented bit lines. On the other hand, SRAM write operation needs higher voltage than PE. To generate such high writing voltage from din voltage which is generated by vddp of PE, write main amplifier which is located at the opposite side of read main amplifier which is located next to PE is designed. In addition, seamless read operation without any segmented sub arrays, and separated read and write MA (Main Amplifier) are proposed.

  • Publication number: 20250259458
    Abstract: A system of operating a vehicle occupant safety detection system includes a camera for obtaining an image with a field of all occupants of the vehicle. The image may be processed by a helmet detection sub-system comprising a helmet recognition neural network block containing recognition data for approved helmets, and a helmet monitoring block configured to process the image from the camera to detect the presence of an approved helmet on all vehicle occupants. Additional sub-systems dedicated to detecting other safety devices and their proper use are also provided, for example, an eye protection detection sub-system, and a safety restraint detection sub-system. A binary determination of “safe” or “unsafe” may then be transmitted on a periodic basis to the Vehicle Safety System. In case of an “unsafe” determination, a safety correction action may be taken, such as restricting vehicle speed to a safe limit.

  • Publication number: 20250255688
    Abstract: A method of assembling a protective sheath to a surgical instrument comprises advancing the protective sheath over a distal working end of a surgical instrument shaft to a relatively proximally disposed sheath connector portion of the surgical instrument; moving a retention mechanism of the sheath into alignment with the sheath connector portion; and moving a moveable locking feature from a first configuration permitting the retention mechanism to be moved relative to the sheath connector portion to a second configuration in which complementary engagement features on the retention mechanism and the sheath connector portion are lockably engaged to retain the sheath in position on the instrument.

  • Publication number: 20250258300
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to shared antenna tuning. An electronic device may receive a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) tune request to tune a shared antenna to a GNSS signal frequency. The electronic device may then tune the antenna to the GNSS signal frequency and enable a GNSS receiver. The electronic device may also receive a cellular tune request to tune the antenna to a cellular frequency. The electronic device may tune the antenna to a cellular frequency and may deactivate the GNSS receiver or blank the GNSS receiver. In some embodiments, the electronic device may also communicate with a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite. During LEO satellite communication, the electronic device may transmit a signal to blank a GNSS L1 receiver to avoid signal interference with the LEO satellite communication, and activate a GNSS L5 receiver to receive GNSS signals.
