Publication number: 20230418581Abstract: Using a common reference address when processing calls between a native application binary interface (ABI) and a foreign ABI. Based on a caller calling using a reference address, a lookup structure is used to determine whether the reference address is within a memory range storing native code and that the callee is native, or a memory range not storing native code and that the callee is foreign. Execution of a callee is initiated based on one of (i) calling the callee using the reference address within an emulator when the caller is native and the callee is foreign; (ii) calling an entry thunk when the caller is foreign and the callee is native; (iii) calling an exit thunk when the caller is native and the callee is foreign; or (iv) directly calling the callee using the reference address when the caller is native and the callee is native.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Pedro Miguel SEQUEIRA DE JUSTO TEIXEIRA, Darek Josip MIHOCKA, Jon Robert BERRY, Russell Charles HADLEY, James David CLEARY, Clarence Siu Yeen DANG

Patent number: 11836127Abstract: Embodiments provide unique identification of telemetry reports generated by components of an IHS (Information Handling System) that supports a plurality of metric data sources. A source of metric data is detected, where the source may be a fixed or replaceable IHS component. The metric source is identified within a device descriptor table maintained by a remote access controller of the IHS. Based on a unique user-friendly label that is associated with the metric data source in the device descriptor table, the metric source is configured to generate metric reports. The generated metric reports are received and the label provided by the metric source is used to store data from the metric reports in a database row using the label as a unique database key. The user-friendly label can be used to perform efficient database queries without using a separate database column for storing a user-friendly description of the metric source.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Jon Robert Hass, Michael Emery Brown, Choudary Maddukuri, Sankara Rao Gara, Mahesh Babu Ramaiah, Sankunny Jayaprasad

Patent number: 11744671Abstract: This disclosure relates to various systems and methods related to preventative laser-based treatment of a dental tissue; for example, to prevent a patient from forming cavities. In some instances, a laser-based treatment system can generate a laser beam pulse with a fluence profile at a treatment site that results in either an increase in acid resistance of the tissue or removal of carbonate from the tissue, without melting or ablating the tissue. In some instances, the laser-based treatment system can direct the laser beam to various locations within a treatment site according to a temporal and/or spatial pattern, that results in either an increase in acid resistance of the tissue or removal of carbonate from the tissue, without melting or ablating the tissue. Many other systems and techniques for preventative and other laser-based treatment are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Convergent Dental, Inc.Inventors: William Harris Groves, Jr., Charles H. Dresser, Nathan P. Monty, Zhijie Wang, Christopher Ricci, Jon Robert Quillard

Patent number: 11720335Abstract: A hybrid binary executable under both native processes and compatibility (e.g., emulated) processes. When the hybrid binary is loaded by a native process, the process executes a native code stream contained in the binary directly on a processor. When the hybrid binary is loaded by a compatibility process, the process executes an emulation-compatible (EC) code stream directly on a processor. The hybrid binary format supports folding of code between the native code stream and the EC code stream. The hybrid binary comprises a set of memory transformations which are applied to image data obtained from the binary when the hybrid binary executes under the compatibility process.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pedro Miguel Sequeira De Justo Teixeira, Darek Josip Mihocka, Jon Robert Berry, Russell Charles Hadley, James David Cleary, Clarence Siu Yeen Dang

Patent number: 11659695Abstract: Telemetry system metric data that is collected within a data center may be collectively analyzed in order to identify zones within the data center that exhibit deviations in reported metric data. The analyzed metric data is collected from IHSs (Information Handling Systems), such as servers, operating in the data center. The metric data reported by the respective IHSs identifies the location the IHS within the data center. The collected metric data is analyzed to identify metrics that are correlated with locations within the data center. Within the identified metric data that is correlated with data center locations, a zone of the data center is identified that includes a subset of IHSs that have reported anomalous metric data relative to the metric data reported by neighboring IHSs. For instance, such a zone may be an aisle of the data center, one or more racks, and/or rows of servers spanning multiple racks.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Cyril Jose, Sankunny Jayaprasad, Jon Robert Hass, Sankara Rao Gara, Sailaja Mahendrakar

Publication number: 20230109000Abstract: A drivetrain assembly for a motor vehicle including a venting system. The drivetrain assembly includes an output shaft from a vehicle prime moreover component such as a transmission or transaxle. The output shaft is coupled to a propeller shaft through a constant velocity joint (CVJ) assembly. A flexible sealing boot encloses the CVJ between the output shaft and the propeller shaft. Internal components of the CVJ are vented by a first longitudinal passageway exposed to the internal volume of the CVJ extending longitudinally along the output shaft. A second radial passageway joins the longitudinal passageway and extends to the radially outer surface of the output shaft forming a second aperture. The passageways combine to provide pressure equalization between the CVJ internal volume and the atmosphere. An optional semi-permeable membrane may be mounted at the second aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: NTN BEARING CORPORATION OF AMERICAInventors: JON ROBERT BARRETT, KRYSTIL ELIZABETH EDWARDS, JONATHAN ALLEN BOARTS, RYAN CHRISTOPHER MATHENY
