  • Publication number: 20240143880
    Abstract: A method includes determining a first timing of a transition sequence of a signal on a first path of an integrated circuit (IC) design, the first timing being based on an IC design signoff voltage, determining a second timing of the transition sequence of the signal on the first path, the second timing being based on the signoff voltage and a first voltage drop along the first path, calculating a first path derating factor based on a timing gap between the first and second timings of the transition sequence, and using the first path derating factor to evaluate the IC design.

  • Publication number: 20240019156
    Abstract: A differentiable physics model of a building is used that defines thermodynamic relationships between zones of the building and a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. A physics-constrained, data driven model learns behaviors of controlled components of the HVAC system. For each of a series of times during online operation of the HVAC system, past state values are recorded representing a performance of the HVAC system in the building and past inputs to the HVAC system to maintain the states. The past state values and the past inputs are input into the differentiable physics model and the data driven model to: jointly update first parameters of the differentiable physics model and second parameters of the data driven model, e.g., using moving horizon estimation; and determine a current input to the controlled components, e.g., using model predictive control.

  • Patent number: 11679223
    Abstract: A ventilator airflow splitter is described herein that includes two to four connectors extending axially through two to four channels starting from a port insert of a single inlet connector and terminating at a port of each of the two to four connectors. The two to four connectors merge into the single inlet connector where the single inlet connector includes an internal cross-splitter individually dividing each of the two to four connectors internally, thereby separating the airflow between each of the two to four connectors such that the air is incapable of moving between connectors. The ventilator airflow splitter also includes gussets where each of the two to four connectors have a gusset individually attached and the gussets merge at the single inlet connector. Each of the two to four connectors are configured to be operatively connected to medical equipmentor a ventilator at the ports and the port insert of the single inlet connector.

  • Publication number: 20210363981
    Abstract: A noise reduction device of compressor for gas is arranged at the inlet end of the compressor. The noise reduction device includes a noise reduction gas return housing and a plurality of gas inlet small pipes, gas inlet large pipes, gas return large pipes, and gas return small pipes, respectively arranged in the noise reduction gas return housing. The design and arrangement that the gas inlet large pipes and the gas return large pipes are respectively sleeved on the gas inlet small pipes and the gas return small pipes changes the moving path of the gas in the noise reduction gas return housing in an instantaneously reverse manner. Such moving path change mainly reduces the flow rate of the gas, so that the noise generated by the gas can be effectively reduced.

  • Publication number: 20200342833
    Abstract: A head mounted display system and a scene scanning method thereof are provided. In the method, one or more first scene images and a second scene image in a real environment are obtained. A preliminary virtual environment corresponding to the real environment from the first scene images is generated. The preliminary virtual environment is displayed with a perspective at a visual position. The virtual position is corresponding to a real position in the real environment where the second scene image is captured. The perspective to present the virtual environment is modified in response to a change of a pose of the user's head. Accordingly, a convenient way to scan the real environment is provided, and a complete virtual environment may be obtained.

  • Patent number: 10295301
    Abstract: A differential pressure type inflating device, adapted for fast inflating the devices that need inflating, comprises a gas container, a relief valve, a gas nozzle, a pipe joint, a switch valve, and a relief pipe. When external high pressure gas enters the gas container and renders the gas pressures in the gas container and the relief pipe reaching a balance condition, the switch valve can be pressed to generate pressure drop in the relief pipe, which launches the relief valve and discharges the high pressure gas in the gas container from the gas nozzle. In this design, the gas container, relief valve, gas nozzle, relief pipe, and pipe joint are connected with screwing structures, so as to achieve the function of easy assembling.
