20150128680 | IMPACT TEST DEVICE AND IMPACT TEST METHOD FOR SIMULATING AN IMPACT - Stated is an impact test device for simulating an impact of a body on a vehicle, which impact test device comprises a movable carriage and an actuator that is attached to the movable carriage. With the movable carriage at a standstill the actuator can move in a linear manner an impact body against the vehicle in order to deform the vehicle and to accelerate the movable carriage away from the vehicle. Since the mass of the actuator is significantly lighter than that of the movable carriage, termination of the impact test may take place very quickly. | 05-14-2015 |

20140015963 | Portable three-dimensional metrology with data displayed on the measured surface - A portable instrument for 3D surface metrology projects augmented-reality feedback directly on the measured target surface. The instrument generates structured-light measuring-patterns and projects them successively on a target surface. Features, contours, and textures of the target surface distort each projected measuring-pattern image (MPI) from the original measuring-pattern. The instrument photographs each MPI, extracts measurement data from the detected distortions, and derives a result-image from selected aspects of the measurement data. The instrument warps the result-image to compensate for distortions from the projector or surface and projects the result-image on the measured surface, optionally with other information such as summaries, instrument status, menus, and instructions. The instrument is lightweight and rugged. Accurate measurements with hand-held embodiments are made possible by high measurement speed and an optional built-in inertial measurement unit to correct for pose and motion effects. | 01-16-2014 |
20140157579 | Networked marketplace for custom 3D fabrication - 3D fabrication and rapid prototyping can quickly produce tightly toleranced arbitrary shapes in single units or small quantities. Yet its adoption has been limited in some promising market areas (for example, medical and dental prosthetics). Such products require diverse specialized process sequences that historically involve multiple vendors in long, close, service-intensive relationships. An online marketplace more evenly balances capacity utilization and negotiating strength within these complex supply chains while allowing preservation of existing relationships and service levels. Marketplace software embodiments enable any member of a supply chain to request a quotation for any stage(s) of a fabrication, invite bids, negotiate, award the project, and track its progress. Participants post, view, and collaboratively edit 3D point clouds generated by measurements or CAD. Options include directories, fora, automated regulatory compliance measures (privacy, long-term archival, data reporting), and structured-light metrology instruments configured to upload editable data directly to the marketplace. | 06-12-2014 |

20090060228 | Systems and Methods for Shadowing an HDA Codec - Systems and methods for “shadowing” a target codec to provide additional features that are not available in the target codec. In one embodiment, an audio amplification system includes a High Definition Audio (HDA) bus, and an HDA controller, a conventional HDA codec and a shadow HDA codec coupled to the HDA bus. The conventional codec receives audio data and commands from the HDA controller via the bus and processes them to generate an output audio signal. The shadow codec snoops the audio data and commands on the HDA bus that are targeted to the conventional codec. The shadow codec processes the snooped audio data and commands to generate a second audio output. The shadow codec does not communicate with the HDA controller and is transparent to the controller. The shadow codec does not request enumeration from the HDA controller and does not receive an address from the HDA controller. | 03-05-2009 |
20090062948 | Systems and Methods for Controlling Audio Volume in the Processor of a High Definition Audio Codec - Systems and methods for controlling the audio volume of an audio signal in an HDA codec having a programmable processor such as a DSP, wherein the codec receives digital audio signals and audio volume control verbs over an HDA bus, and the audio volume levels associated with the audio volume control verbs are used by the processor in the generation pulse width modulated (PWM) output signals, thereby controlling the audio volume levels of the output signals. The processor may be configured to adjust non-volume parameters such as PWM deadtime, in addition to adjusting audio volume, based on the audio volume levels. The codec may be implemented in a PC or other system that implements an HDA system that includes the HDA bus and HDA codec. | 03-05-2009 |
20090063738 | Systems and Methods for Overriding Hardwired Responses in an HDA Codec - Systems and methods for overriding hardwired responses of a codec to High Definition Audio (HDA) verbs that are received from an HDA controller. In one embodiment, an HDA codec is configured to store one or more overriding responses, each of which is associated with a corresponding HDA verb. When an HDA verb is received by the codec, the codec determines whether the verb is associated with one of the overriding responses. If the verb is associated with one of the overriding responses, the overriding response is returned to the HDA controller. If the first HDA verb is not associated with one of the stored overriding responses, provide a hardwired response associated with the first HDA verb to the HDA bus. Overriding responses can be returned for unsupported verbs only, or for any verbs that prompt responses. | 03-05-2009 |
20090063828 | Systems and Methods for Communication between a PC Application and the DSP in a HDA Audio Codec - Systems and methods implemented in a PC for enabling communication between an application executing on the CPU and a DSP that is incorporated into a codec in the High Definition Audio (HDA) system, wherein the communication is carried out via the HDA bus. In one embodiment, an HDA codec includes one or more conventional HDA widgets coupled to a programmable processor such as a DSP. The codec includes a set of registers that are configured to store HDA verbs and data transmitted via the HDA bus. The programmable processor is configured to identify verbs that indicate associated information is a communication from an application executing on the CPU, read the associated information, and process the information according to the associated verbs. The information may be program instructions, parametric data, requests for information, etc. | 03-05-2009 |
20090063843 | Systems and Methods for Booting a Codec Processor over a High Definition Audio Bus - Systems and methods for booting a programmable processor such as a DSP that is incorporated into an HDA codec. The codec and a system memory containing boot program instructions are connected to an HDA bus. In a first mode, the DSP receives boot program instructions via the HDA bus and boots using these instructions. In a second mode, the DSP boots from instructions that are contained in a memory that is connected to the DSP. In one embodiment, the memory connected to the DSP is a component of a plug-in card, and the DSP is configured to determine whether the plug-in card is present, then boot from the memory on the plug-in card if it is present or boot from the system memory via the HDA bus if the plug-in card is not present. | 03-05-2009 |
