Aeroacoustics Large-Eddy Simulation of VTOL Aircraft Design

By Cadence - 31 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

This conference paper, co-authored by Honda Motor Co. and Cadence, reveals findings on the aeroacoustics predictions of multibladed vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) rotors using large-eddy simulations (LES). Why should you read this white paper? Advanced Simulations: We conducted simulations on VTOL rotors with two to five blades, assessing high-frequency noise predictions. Exp... » read more

Toward Software-Defined Vehicles

By Ed Sperling - 24 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Speed is everything when it comes to designing automotive electronics, but not in the usual way. In the past, product cycles often lasted five to seven years, from initial design to implementation inside of vehicles. That no longer works as vehicles adopt more electronic features to replace mechanical ones, and as competition heats up over the latest features and nearly instantaneous over-the-a... » read more

Easing EV Range Anxiety Through Faster Charging

By Ann Mutschler - 11 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is developing new ways to boost the range of electric vehicles and the speed at which they are charged, overcoming buyer hesitation that has limited the total percentage of EVs to 18% of vehicles being sold.[1] Work is underway to improve how batteries are engineered and manufactured, and how they are managed while they are in use or being charged. This extends well b... » read more

New Embedded FPGA Compiler Maximizes IP Implementation Efficiency

By Jayson Bethurem - 11 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

When designing IP for system-on-chip (SoC) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) implementations, IP designers strive for perfection. Optimal engineering often yields the smallest die area, thereby reducing both cost and power consumption while maximizing performance. Similarly, when incorporating embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP into a SoC, designers prioritize these critical factors. ... » read more

Seeing with Sound: AI-Based Detection of Participants in Automotive Environment from Passive Audio

By Renesas - 03 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Existing ADAS solutions for car environmental awareness (cameras, LiDAR, ultrasonic, etc.) require targets to be in a clear line of sight from the sensor. The target must be illuminated by some source of energy, so systems are affected by dust, weather, lighting, and obstacles. We address those limitations using a passive acoustic solution that “listens” to the environment. It can hear pote... » read more
