Abstract: The invention addresses individual electronic components on a shared communication bus by using spatial indexing to route data based on the physical location of the electronic components. The spatially indexed two-line data bus maps a spatial grid to a plurality of indexed connection points, which are geometrically arranged in physical space, to a set of electrically conductive grid lines. The grid lines form a communication network which can be connected to electronic components physically located on the mapped spatial grid. In the preferred embodiment, the grid lines are comprised of copper traces on a printed circuit board (PCB). In another embodiment, the grid lines are comprised of connecting wires. The electronic components are connected electrically in parallel with the grid lines.

Subsequently, when the user requests that a sequence of actions be performed, the application will be displayed according to the rendering type.

Abstract: A base station may transmit configuration parameters indicating a bandwidth part (BWP), of a cell, associated with a maximum number of transmission layers, and a plurality of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports. The base station may transmit downlink control information comprising an antenna port indication value. The base station may determine a subset of DMRS ports, from the plurality of DMRS ports, based on the maximum number of transmission layers associated with the BWP. Based on the antenna port indication value, the base station may select one or more DMRS ports from the subset of DMRS ports. The base station may transmit, via the BWP, a transport block with the one or more selected DMRS ports and with a number of transmission layers. The number may be less than or equal to the maximum number in response to the BWP being associated with the maximum number of transmission layers.

Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques for managing writes of data useful for storage systems that do not permit overwrite of a logical address. One implementation provides a nonvolatile memory storage drive, such as a flash memory drive, that provides support for zoned drive and/or Open Channel-compliant architectures. Circuitry on the storage drive tracks storage location release metadata for addressable memory space, optionally providing to a host system information upon which maintenance decisions or related scheduling can be based. The storage drive can also provide buffering support for accommodating receipt of out-of-order writes and unentanglement and performance of out of order writes, with buffering resources being configurable according to any one of a number of parameters. The disclosed storage drive facilitates reduced error rates and lower request traffic in a manner consistent with newer memory standards that mandate that writes to logical addresses be sequential.

Abstract: Methods and systems determine resistance related constants for use by a vehicle towing a trailer. A system for controlling functions of the vehicle and the trailer includes sensors that provide sensor data. A processor performs a readiness check, based on the sensor data, by determining whether the sensor data exceeds predetermined thresholds. When the readiness check is passed, meaning the thresholds are not exceeded, and based on the sensor data, the processor computes values for constants that represent aerodynamic resistance and rolling resistance of the vehicle and the trailer. Based on the constants, the processor controls functions of the vehicle.
