50 results about "Co-design" patented technology

Co-design or codesign is a product, service, or organization development process where design professionals empower, encourage, and guide users to develop solutions for themselves. Co-design encourages the blurring of the role between user and designer, focusing on the process by which the design objective is created. This process believes that by encouraging the trained designer and the user to create solutions together, the final result will be more appropriate and acceptable to the user. It is generally recognized that the quality of design increases if the stakeholders' interests are considered in the design process. Co-design is a development of systems thinking, which according to C. West Churchman "begins when first you view the world through the eyes of another." As it is, co-design in the different research fields is tightly connected to the conception or creation of artifacts in communities context through a shared vision, social learning and mutual understanding among all key stakeholders, taking in consideration different perspectives and expectations that should be hold in consideration during the co-design process.

On-chip shared memory based device architecture

A method and architecture are provided for SOC (System on a Chip) devices for RAID processing, which is commonly referred as RAID-on-a-Chip (ROC). The architecture utilizes a shared memory structure as interconnect mechanism among hardware components, CPUs and software entities. The shared memory structure provides a common scratchpad buffer space for holding data that is processed by the various entities, provides interconnection for process / engine communications, and provides a queue for message passing using a common communication method that is agnostic to whether the engines are implemented in hardware or software. A plurality of hardware engines are supported as masters of the shared memory. The architectures provide superior throughput performance, flexibility in software / hardware co-design, scalability of both functionality and performance, and support a very simple abstracted parallel programming model for parallel processing.

Multi-band RF transceiver with passive reuse in organic substrates

The present invention allows for the use of chip-package co-design of RF transceivers and their components by using discrete active devices in conjunction with passive components. Two particular components are described, including voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) and low noise amplifiers (LNAs). The high quality passive components for use in the VCOs and LNAs may be obtained by the use of embedded passives in organic substrates. Further, the embedded passives may have multi-band characteristics, thereby allowing multi-band VCOs and LNAs to be implemented with fewer components. In situations where size is a concern, the active devices and passive components utilized in an RF transceiver may be implemented in a low form factor module of less than 1.1 mm thick according to an embodiment of the invention.

System, methods, and computer readable media, for product design using coupled computer aided engineering models

Methods, systems, and computer readable media are used for analyzing a design. A finite element analysis (FEA) model and a correlated computational flow dynamics (CFD) model are defined. A parametric volume is defined with control points forming a mesh bounding a common design object of the models. Control points on the parametric volume are adjusted to develop a design deformation of the FEA model and the CFD model. An analysis loop is performed until a convergence is achieved. The analysis loop includes simulating the CFD model to develop resultant forces and simulating the FEA model with the resultant forces applied to develop resultant displacements. The analysis loop also includes deforming the CFD model and the FEA model to match the resultant displacements by adjusting control points on the parametric volume to generate a corresponding analysis deformation of the FEA model and the CFD model.

The invention provides a hydraulic design method for an asymmetric solid-liquid two-phase flow centrifugal impeller. The method aims at solving the problems generated in the application process of a solid-liquid two-phase flow pump. An impeller is a semi-open type single flow channel and is suitable for conveying various particles and substances containing fibers. A vane is formed by combining a long vane body and a short vane body. Part of the short vane body and part of the long vane body are symmetric. The flow guide effect is achieved through the long vane body so that the conveyed substances can smoothly reach an impeller outlet and the integrity of the conveyed substances cannot be damaged. The conveyed substances are discharged out of the impeller under the effect of the short vane body. A working face streamline equation of the vane is designed through an arc method and a variable angle spiral line method jointly. In order to rotationally cut various objects, the vane is designed in the manner that the working face is higher than the back face, and the cross section of the vane is designed in a pentagonal shape with three right angles. Inlet and outlet installation angle design formulas of the vane are given.
