Abstract: In a streaming cache, multiple, dynamically sized tracking queues are employed. Request tracking information is distributed among the plural tracking queues to selectively enable out-of-order memory request returns. A dynamically controlled policy assigns pending requests to tracking queues, providing for example in-order memory returns in some contexts and/or for some traffic and out of order memory returns in other contexts and/or for other traffic.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes ultrasound imaging systems and methods that may be used to image breast tissue. An ultrasound imaging system according to one embodiment may include a user interface comprising a display, a processor operatively connected to the user interface, and memory comprising processor-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor cause the user interface to display a first ultrasound image of a breast on the display and receive an indication of a first region of interest (ROI) in the first ultrasound image. The memory may include instructions to further cause the user interface to display a second ultrasound image of the breast on the display and receive an indication of a second region of interest in the second ultrasound image.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. Performance of such devices is improved with reduced time to first fix of location operations in conjunction with low-power operations. In one embodiment, low-power circuitry manages high-speed circuitry and location circuitry to provide location assistance data from the high-speed circuitry to the low-power circuitry automatically on initiation of location fix operations as the high-speed circuitry and location circuitry are booted from low-power states. In some embodiments, the high-speed circuitry is returned to a low-power state prior to completion of a location fix and after capture of content associated with initiation of the location fix. In some embodiments, high-speed circuitry is booted after completion of a location fix to update location data associated with content.

Abstract: Enhanced techniques applicable to a ray tracing hardware accelerator for traversing a hierarchical acceleration structure are disclosed. The traversal efficiency of such hardware accelerators are improved, for example, by transforming a ray, in hardware, from the ray's coordinate space to two or more coordinate spaces at respective points in traversing the hierarchical acceleration structure. In one example, the hardware accelerator is configured to transform a ray, received from a processor, from the world space to at least one alternate world space and then to an object space in hardware before a corresponding ray-primitive intersection results are returned to the processor. The techniques disclosed herein facilitate the use of additional coordinate spaces to orient acceleration structures in a manner that more efficiently approximate the space occupied by the underlying primitives being ray-traced.

Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, computer readable media, and other various embodiments are described for location management processes in wearable electronic devices. One embodiment involves pairing a client device with a wearable device, capturing a first client location fix at a first time using the first application and location circuitry of the client device. The client device then receives content from the wearable device, where the content is associated with a content capture time and location state data. The client device then updates a location based on the available data to reconcile the different sets of location data. In some embodiments, additional sensor data, such as data from an accelerometer, is used is used to determine which location data is more accurate for certain content.

Abstract: A point of sale barrier includes an upright panel configured to separate a first person on a first side of the upright panel from a second person on a second side of the upright panel, an opening formed through the upright panel, and a dispenser positioned within the opening and movable relative to the upright panel between a first position, in which an object on the dispenser is accessible to the first person, and a second position, in which the object on the dispenser is accessible to the second person. The point of sale barrier also includes an actuator coupled to the dispenser and operable to move the dispenser between the first and second positions. The dispenser and the wall are shaped to inhibit free air flow through the opening as the dispenser moves between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A neural network system includes an eyewear device. The eyewear device has a movement tracker, such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, or an inertial measurement unit for measuring acceleration and rotation. The neural network system tracks, via the movement tracker, movement of the eyewear device from at least one finger contact inputted from a user on an input surface. The neural network system identifies a finger gesture by detecting at least one detected touch event based on variation of the tracked movement of the eyewear device over a time period. The neural network system adjusts the image presented on the image display of the eyewear device based on the identified finger gesture. The neural network system can also detect whether the user is wearing the eyewear device and identify an activity of the user wearing the eyewear device based on the variation of the tracked movement over the time period.
