  • Computing device performance monitor
    Patent number: 10079743
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods effective to monitor performance of a computing device. A computing device may receive a specified counting rate. The computing device may count at the specified counting rate to generate a sequence of counting numbers. The computing device may identify a first output of a process, such as results from computations performed on data, and may identify a first counting number when the first output is identified. The computing device may identify a second output of the process, such as additional results from the computations, and may identify a second counting number when the second output is identified. The computing device may then determine whether an alert should be generated based on the first and second counting numbers such as when a difference between the first and second counting numbers exceeds a threshold value.

  • MACHINE RECOGNIZABLE PATTERN GENERATION
    Publication number: 20180240001
    Abstract: When the intensity of visible light is properly modulated, the difference between the modulated visible light and the original visible light is not noticeable to human eyes but detectable to electronic devices. Thus, the modulated visible light may be utilized to form patterns that are only recognizable to electronic devices but not to human eyes.

  • Management of chip multiprocessor cooperative caching based on eviction rate
    Patent number: 10049045
    Abstract: Techniques described herein generally include methods and systems related to cooperatively caching data in a chip multiprocessor. Cooperatively caching of data in the chip multiprocessor is managed based on an eviction rate of data blocks from private caches associated with each individual processor core in the chip multiprocessor. The eviction rate of data blocks from each private cache in the cooperative caching system is monitored and used to determine an aggregate eviction rate for all private caches. When the aggregate eviction rate exceeds a predetermined value, for example the threshold beyond which network flooding can occur, the cooperative caching system for the chip multiprocessor is disabled, thereby avoiding network flooding of the chip multiprocessor.

  • Bandwidth amplification using pre-clocking
    Patent number: 10044496
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described herein for bandwidth amplification using a pre-clock signal to latch data at a latch in an input register of a sender section while passing the data through a multiplexer of the sender section in a serial manner. In some configurations, pre-clocking the multiplexer can allow for parallel operations to occur within the sender section, thus hiding or reducing the effects of certain serialization delays associated with the multiplexer. Furthermore, the pre-clocking of the multiplexer, in some configurations, hides or reduces the register latch hold and setup delays. A method may create three levels of parallelization of latencies between a sender circuit, a serialization circuit, and a receiver circuit by overlapping them at same time.

  • Dynamic carrier assignment of carrier aggregation in an LTE-Advanced system
    Patent number: 10033492
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a scheme of dynamic activation and release of carrier aggregation in an LTE-Advanced system are provided. When transmission need of an LTE-Advanced user is large and the user is within coverage of at least one secondary component carrier, carrier aggregation is activated while a certain amount of resource of each component carrier is preserved to support carrier aggregation. This avoids unnecessary activation and waste due to signaling cost. When the primary component carrier of an LTE-Advanced user has sufficient resource to satisfy transmission need of the user or when the user is not within coverage of at least one secondary component carrier, carrier aggregation is released. This minimizes complex measurement and cost of controlling signals due to multi-carrier scheduling.

  • User interface selection based on user context
    Patent number: 10007335
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described to provide alternate user interfaces based on user context. In some examples, a user interface system may measure a user characteristic associated with a particular user interface type. The user interface system may then determine whether the measured user characteristic is suitable for use as a user interface input, for example by comparison with a baseline user characteristic. Upon determination that the measured user characteristic is suitable, the user interface system may use the measured user characteristic for user interface purposes. On the other hand, upon determination that the measured user characteristic is not suitable, the user interface system may use a different user interface type to attempt to receive user inputs.
