Testing Calibrated Delay Circuit Propagation Delay With A Phase Frequency Detector, Karthikeyan Subramanian, Kasi Chunduri, Mukesh Goyal, Dhivyabharathi Vethanayagam, Gurumoorthy, Durgesh Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

Testing calibrated delay circuit (CDC) propagation delay at high double data rate (DDR) speeds is often limited by inaccuracies and increased test time in automated test equipment (ATE). Traditional characterization methods may be impacted by external hardware parasitics that degrade accuracy, as well as specialized tools that may increase both test time and overall cost.

This disclosure describes an on-chip analog design-for-test (DFT) method that utilizes a phase frequency detector (PFD) from an existing phase-locked loop (PLL) to measure CDC delay. The calibrated clock and reference clock are routed to the PFD to convert the delay into a duty cycle. …

Method For Smart Left Turn And Merging With Powertrain Aware, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Drivers frequently encounter significant challenges when making left turns onto main roads or merging into traffic, primarily due to difficulties in accurately assessing gaps in oncoming traffic. A critical concern arises from the misperception of approaching vehicle speeds and distances, a problem greatly exacerbated by the increasing prevalence of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and other quick-accelerating vehicles.

EVs deliver maximum torque instantaneously, allowing many to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 5.0 seconds. This unique capability results in different acceleration characteristics compared to Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, with some studies noting that EVs may accelerate more quickly. As …


Marker-Based Imperative Extraction Facility For Json Configurations, Anonymous Feb 2026

Marker-Based Imperative Extraction Facility For Json Configurations, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a technique for extracting sub-JSONs from large JSON configurations (e.g., greater than 80,000 lines) without requiring JSON Schema definitions or knowledge of the JSON structure. The approach employs embedded marker annotations within JSON objects that specify filter criteria using a domain-specific language (DSL). A recursive parser evaluates these markers against user-selected filters to produce tailored configuration subsets on demand.

The DSL supports OR logic (comma-separated filters), AND logic (plus-sign conjunction), mixed boolean expressions, and recursive nested item evaluation via a checkNestedItems parameter. A key characteristic is imperative selection: elements without markers are included automatically in the output, …

Fusing Fitness And Health Sensor Data From Multiple Sources, Justin Phillips, Daniel Roggen, Robert Harle

Defensive Publications Series

Estimates of cardiorespiratory fitness metrics (e.g., maximal oxygen uptake) from wearable electronic devices are often characterized by significant noise and variability. Inconsistencies arise due to algorithmic differences between manufacturers, sensor inaccuracies, and biological variance. The integration of data from multiple disparate sources lacks a standardized method for weighting measurements based on source reliability or handling late-arriving data. While the disclosed method is described in the context of cardiorespiratory fitness metrics such as VO2 max, it is equally applicable to any changing physiological variable derived from noisy or disparate sources, including but not limited to daily or weekly average blood pressure. …

Defensive Publications Series

A method is disclosed for generating scalable, high-fidelity scene replicas by optimizing 3D Gaussian Splats directly within the equirectangular domain. Conventional pipelines often convert spherical scanner data into perspective views or surface meshes, a process that frequently introduces stitching artifacts, geometric seams, and floaters. To address these limitations, the described approach utilizes a differentiable panorama splat rasterizer. This component processes registered laser scan data and 3D point clouds natively in a spherical format, without projecting imagery onto flat perspective planes. By refining spherical harmonic coefficients and opacity through backpropagation against the original panoramic inputs, the method effectively mitigates conversion-induced distortions. …

Scalable Personalized Score Approximation Via Core Subgraph Pre-Computation, Leonid Kuligin

Defensive Publications Series

Computing link analysis algorithm scores for individual nodes in a large-scale graph can be computationally expensive, which may limit practical application. A technique for approximating such a computation may be applied to graphs that can be partitioned into a core subgraph (G1) and a peripheral subgraph (G2) without edges pointing from G1 to G2. The approach may involve pre-computing and caching pruned vectors for nodes within the G1 subgraph. A link analysis algorithm score for a node in the G2 subgraph can then be approximated by calculating a linear combination, such as an arithmetic mean, of the cached vectors corresponding …

Adaptive Correction Of Digital Map Features Using A Text-Guided Generative Model, Yotam Intrator, Idan Kligvasser, Ehud Rivlin, Amir Livne

Defensive Publications Series

Static machine learning models applied in automated cartography may produce inaccurate map features or may not adapt to localized guidelines without potentially costly retraining. A post-processing framework can utilize a multi-modal, text-guided generative model to perform adaptive corrections. For example, a system can receive a visual representation of a map segment, such as a raster image of road markings, and a set of natural language guidelines as input. The generative model can then process these inputs to synthesize a new visual representation where map features may be altered to conform with the specified guidelines. This approach can decouple correction logic …
