Abstract: A memory controller receives, via a first interface, a first read request requesting a requested data granule. Based on receipt of the first read request, the memory controller transmits, via a second interface, a second read request to initiate access of the requested data granule from a system memory. Based on a determination to schedule accelerated data delivery and receipt by the memory controller of a data scheduling indication that indicates a timing of future delivery of the requested data granule, the memory controller requests, prior to receipt of the requested data granule, permission to transmit the requested data granule on the system interconnect fabric. Based on receipt of the requested data granule at the indicated timing and a grant of the permission to transmit, the memory controller initiates transmission of the requested data granule on the system interconnect fabric and transmits an error indication for the requested data granule.

Abstract: This invention titled ‘Hollow Plastic Garden Blocks’ provides a new and convenient construction material for the home gardener. The blocks can be stacked or placed side by side to construct raised beds, or living walls, or used as garden bed edging. Unlike traditional cement wall blocks, the hollow plastic blocks are very lightweight and easily transported or moved by the home gardener. The blocks can be filled with soil or a suitable planting medium and then seeded or populated with living plants. These blocks are not restricted by interlocking positions therefore offer complete freedom of linear shape alignment. All blocks have drainage holes for greater durability. Any standard and efficient method of plastic shape fabrication could be used to produce these blocks. The blocks can be made of any durable plastic, virgin or recycled, and color choices are unlimited.

Abstract: In aspects of gesture detection based on device form factor, a device includes gesture detection algorithms from which gestures are detectable based on device configurations. The device implements a gesture module to determine a form factor of the device as one of the device configurations, and select a gesture detection algorithm that corresponds to the form factor. The gesture module then utilizes the selected gesture detection algorithm to detect a gesture performed by a user holding the device in the device form factor. Additionally, the gesture module can determine a change in the device form factor. The gesture module can then replace the gesture detection algorithm with a different gesture detection algorithm, or replace parameter values in the gesture detection algorithm with respective updated parameter values, which are then usable to detect another instance of the gesture performed by the user holding the device in the changed form factor.
