Filed:

Apr 27, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/430410

Inventors:

Lawrence T. Pileggi - Pittsburgh PA, US
Daniel Morris - Pittsburgh PA, US

Assignee:

Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh PA

International Classification:

H01L 27/118

US Classification:

257206, 257208, 257390, 438587

Abstract:

An integrated circuit comprising both memory and logic wherein at least one layer of the integrated circuit is fabricated using a common grating pattern for both memory and logic is described. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit comprises a substrate, an active layer, and a gate material layer such as a polysilicon layer, and the active layer, the gate material layer, or both the active layer and the gate material layer are formed using a common grating pattern for both memory and logic. By using a common grating pattern for both memory and logic, a corresponding layer of the integrated circuit can be reliably and affordably manufactured using sub-wavelength lithography.

Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

B60R 1/00

US Classification:

348143

Abstract:

A system for providing an overhead view of a machine including a desired target position is disclosed. The system includes an off-board camera device configured to capture a top-down camera view of a worksite. The system further includes a system controller configured to receive data corresponding to the desired target position and a top down camera view of the worksite including the desired target position. The system controller also receives a data corresponding to position of the machine at the worksite. The system controller further provides the overhead view of the machine including the desired target position to a display within a cab of the machine. The system controller provides the overhead view of the machine when the machine is within a predetermined range at the worksite relative to the desired target position.

Assignee:

CATERPILLAR INC. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

G01S 13/86
G01S 13/93

US Classification:

342 52

Abstract:

A object recognition system has a camera configured to generate image data of an environment of a machine and a radar device configured to generate radar data of the environment of the machine. The object recognition system also has a processor configured to detect an object in the environment based on the radar data, map the radar data to a portion of the image data corresponding to the detected object, and classify the detected object using the mapped portion of the image data.

Assignee:

CATERPILLAR INC. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

H04N 7/18
G01S 13/86

US Classification:

348159, 342 52

Abstract:

An image processing system has a plurality of cameras and a display that are mounted on a machine. The plurality of cameras are configured to generate image data for an environment of the machine. The image processing system also has a processor connected to the plurality of cameras and the display. The processor is configured to access the image data from the plurality of cameras, access parameters associated with the plurality of cameras, generate a unified image by combining the image data from the plurality of cameras based at least in part on the parameters, access state data associated with the machine, select a portion of the unified image based at least in part on the state data, and render the portion of the unified image on the display.

Assignee:

CATERPILLAR INC. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

G06K 9/32

US Classification:

382103

Abstract:

A object recognition system has a camera configured to generate source image data and a processor configured to access the source image data from the camera. The processor is also configured to accesses state data of the camera and generate transformed image data from the source image data based at least in part on the state data. The processor is also configured to detect an object in the transformed image data and to classify the detected object using the transformed image data.
