  • Patent number: 11346751
    Abstract: A computing system receives a request for computer-generated likelihood(s) for candidate evaluations of an industrial product set according to a measurement system analysis (MSA). The MSA comprises tests for evaluating, according to a measurement standard, the industrial product set. The request indicates a metric set representing metric(s) each quantifying an estimate of contribution to variation in evaluating the industrial product set according to the MSA. The system generates a design comprising a respective input set for each test of the MSA. The respective input set comprises setting(s) for conducting a test of the MSA. The design is designed to isolate candidate sources for contributing to the variation in evaluating the industrial product set according to the MSA. The system (e.g., prior to the MSA) outputs, based on the metric set and the design, the computer-generated likelihood(s) for the candidate evaluations of the industrial product set according to the MSA.

  • Patent number: 10809777
    Abstract: A technique for thermal management of a circuit includes generating a power consumption estimate for the circuit based on a predetermined update amount and a comparison of a sensed voltage level to a predetermined voltage level. The method includes generating a fault signal based on the power consumption estimate and a predetermined power consumption limit. Generating the power consumption estimate may include sensing a voltage drop across a first terminal of a device of the circuit and a second terminal of the device to generate the sensed voltage level. The sensed voltage level may be indicative of the voltage drop. The method may include updating the power consumption estimate by the predetermined update amount in response to a clock signal. The power consumption estimate may be used as a proxy for a measurement of a thermal state of the circuit.
