Abstract: Power management logic of a multi-display touch device provides for selectively reducing a power state of a touch system within each individual display at times when the touch system of the display is inactive. The power management logic facilitates selective toggling of the touch system from a high power state to a low power state independent of a power state of other touch systems in the multi-display device, The power management logic further facilitates selective toggling of the touch system power state from the low power state to the high power state responsive to a communication received across the interlink.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for maintaining real-time coherency between a local cache of a target device and a client cache of a source device during execution of a distributed computational function. In some embodiments, a source device, such as a host computer, is coupled via a network interface to a target device, such as a data storage device. A storage compute function (SCF) command is transferred from the source device to the target device. A local cache of the target device accumulates output data during the execution of an associated SCF over an execution time interval. Real-time coherency is maintained between the contents of the local cache and a client cache of the source device, so that the client cache retains continuously updated copies of the contents of the local cache during execution of the SCF. The coherency can be carried out on a time-based granularity or an operational granularity.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a first request for a first time window and a first position. A first message is sent to indicate a computing device will push content to a client in a stream for a video for a first one or more time windows other than the first time window.

Abstract: An aiming apparatus for a firearm has a frame, a plurality of visible and/or invisible light generators connected to the frame, with each light generator operable to propagate planar and/or non-planar light in the forward direction. Each light generator utilizes shaping optics to create straight or curved lines of light. Straight lines of light propagating in a forward direction will create a plane of light, while curved lines of light propagating in a forward direction will create non-planar light. A plurality of planar light oriented in a non-parallel, overlapping relationship creates a straight intersection line of light, while a plurality of non-planar light orientated in a non-parallel, overlapping relationship creates a straight or curved intersection line of light. When projected against a target surface, a plurality of planar lights creates a projected cross shape, which may have an intersection point.
