Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for controlling charging of vehicles, to avoid charging during charge-adverse time periods or during charge restriction events. This can advantageously reduce cost to vehicles owners, and or provide access to reward incentives. Further, power distribution entities (utility providers) advantageously have increased control over power distribution to avoid over-burdening of power distribution infrastructure. Further, systems and methods for determining or inferring whether a vehicle is connected to a charge station are described, which can be used to inform automatic restriction of vehicle charging.

Abstract: An aircraft operable to transition between thrust-borne lift in a VTOL orientation and wing-borne lift in a biplane orientation. The aircraft has an airframe including first and second wings with first and second pylons coupled therebetween. A distributed thrust array is coupled to the airframe including a plurality of propulsion assemblies coupled to the first wing and a plurality of propulsion assemblies coupled to the second wing. A cargo pod is coupled between the first and second pylons. The cargo pod is rotatable between a loading configuration, substantially perpendicular to the wings and a transportation and deployment configuration, substantially parallel to the wings. A flight control system is configured to independently control each of the propulsion assemblies and to autonomously deploy a payload from the cargo pod at a desired location.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for routing interrupts on a coherency probe network are disclosed. A computing system includes a plurality of processing nodes, a coherency probe network, and one or more control units. The coherency probe network carries coherency probe messages between coherent agents. Interrupts that are detected by a control unit are converted into messages that are compatible with coherency probe messages and then routed to a target destination via the coherency probe network. Interrupts are generated with a first encoding while coherency probe messages have a second encoding. Cache subsystems determine whether a message received via the coherency probe network is an interrupt message or a coherency probe message based on an encoding embedded in the received message. Interrupt messages are routed to interrupt controller(s) while coherency probe messages are processed in accordance with a coherence probe action field embedded in the message.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing chiplet interrupt latency are disclosed. A system includes one or more processing nodes, one or more memory devices, a communication fabric coupled to the processing unit(s) and memory device(s) via link interfaces, and a power management unit. The power management unit manages the power states of the various components and the link interfaces of the system. If the power management unit detects a request to wake up a given component, and the link interface to the given component is powered down, then the power management unit sends an out-of-band signal to wake up the given component in parallel with powering up the link interface. Also, when multiple link interfaces need to be powered up, the power management unit powers up the multiple link interfaces in an order which complies with voltage regulator load-step requirements while minimizing the latency of pending operations.
