Title: Multi-core sensor system within taxi roof light
Inventor: SHANWEN LIU
IPC: G01N15/06
Filed: 2019-01-31
Abstract: A high/low-frequency multi-core sensor system, wherein it can be intelligently determined whether the reason for an abrupt dramatic change in sensor data is a sensor fault or sudden pollution, so as to increase data reliability. A data online rate is increased if a repair can be performed via automatic determination when a device fault occurs, which has significant value for continuous monitoring required for a haze treatment operation. In addition, human and material resources for device maintenance may be saved, thereby reducing waste.

Title: Method and apparatus for providing pre-manufacturing feedback on the design of an object to be formed through solidification of a fluid in a mold
Inventor: EELCO HOOGENDOORN
IPC: G06F119/18
Filed: 2020-05-20
Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing a thermal thickness for a design of a three dimensional object formed through solidification of a fluid in a cavity of a mould, comprises the steps of: receiving a digital model representing the object or the mould; determining a solution domain comprising the cavity-mould interface; defining, a computational grid in the solution domain; solving an equation on the computational grid, the equation representing heat release through the cavity-mould interface when the object is formed through solidification of the fluid in the cavity of the mould; computing, a thermal thickness defined as a numerical approximation of the temperature gradient at the cavity-mould interface; and transmitting thermal thickness data to a user or displaying a projection of the thermal thickness data onto the cavity-mould interface. Pre-manufacturing feedback may be generated by comparing the computed thermal thickness with data on the thermal thickness of reference objects and their manufacturability. The thermal thickness is positively correlated with the time for a surface of the object to solidify such that the uniformity of the thermal thickness comprises information on the likelihood of a certain design to be manufactured without problems and aesthetic defects.

Title: Edge and depth processing hardware
Inventor: CASPER VAN BENTHEM
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2018-04-05
Abstract: A graphics processing pipeline comprises hardware arrangements arranged to perform an edge test or a depth calculation. Each hardware arrangement comprises a microtile component hardware element, multiple pixel component hardware elements, one or more subsample component hardware elements, and a plurality of addition and comparison elements. The microtile component hardware element calculates 602 a first output using coordinates of a microtile within a tile in the rendering space. Each pixel component hardware element calculates 604 a different second output using coordinates for different pixels defined relative to an origin location of the microtile. The subsample component hardware element calculates 606 a third output using coordinates for a subsample position defined relative to an origin location of a pixel. The addition and comparison elements sum different combinations of the first output, a second output and a third output to generate 608 edge test or depth values for different subsample positions. The size of the microtile depends on the number of addition and comparison elements. When there is determined to be more possible combinations of outputs than addition and comparison elements the size of the microtile is reduced.
