Patent number: 11960410Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a unified kernel virtual address space for heterogeneous computing are disclosed. A system includes at least a first subsystem running a first kernel, an input/output memory management unit (IOMMU), and a second subsystem running a second kernel. In order to share a memory buffer between the two subsystems, the first subsystem allocates a block of memory in part of the system memory controlled by the first subsystem. A first mapping is created from a first logical address of the kernel address space of the first subsystem to the block of memory. Then, the IOMMU creates a second mapping to map the physical address of that block of memory from a second logical address of the kernel address space of the second subsystem. These mappings allow the first and second subsystems to share buffer pointers which reference the block of memory.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Tung Chuen Kwong, Benjamin Koon Pan Chan, William Lloyd Atkinson

Patent number: 11954792Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing real-time video rendering with performance guaranteed power management are disclosed. A system includes at least a software driver, a power management unit, and a plurality of processing elements for performing rendering tasks. The system receives inputs which correspond to rendering tasks which need to be performed. The software driver monitors the inputs that are received and the number of rendering tasks to which they correspond. The software driver also monitors the amount of time remaining until the next video synchronization signal. The software driver determines which performance setting will minimize power consumption while still allowing enough time to finish the rendering tasks for the current frame before the next video synchronization signal. Then, the software driver causes the power management unit to provide this performance setting to the plurality of processing elements as they perform the rendering tasks for the current frame.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Benjamin Koon Pan Chan, William Lloyd Atkinson, Clarence Ip, Tung Chuen Kwong

Patent number: 11164674Abstract: A system provides cryptographic means for securing the transmission of health data from devices of varying processing power and over various network protocols. The system is configured to transmit and receive packets to and from a remote patient monitoring device over multiple types of communication sessions. The system authenticates at least some of the data packet payloads and headers using multiple message authentication codes. The system can, for one type of communication session, the simulate or intercept acknowledgement packets generated for use with another type of communication session.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.Inventor: Benjamin Lloyd Lange

Patent number: 10679181Abstract: An inventory location, such as a shelf, may be used to stow different items. The shelf is divided into a plurality of adjacent lanes, some of which may be grouped into a cluster. Items are placed upon the lanes of the cluster. Each lane includes one or more weight sensors to obtain weight data about a load on the lane. Based on the weight data and physical layout data for the shelf, one or more hypotheses may be determined for describing interactions, such as a pick or place of an item, occurring at the lanes of a cluster. One of the hypotheses may be selected as a solution for describing the interaction and used to maintain inventory quantities of items at the shelf.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2019Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Alexander Clark Prater, Ivan Avramov, Ismael Medrano, Benjamin Lloyd Shapiro, Navid Shiee, Brett Allen Skaloud

Patent number: 10262293Abstract: An inventory location such as a shelf may be used to stow different types of items. The shelf may be equipped with a plurality of lanes arranged parallel to one another. Items may rest upon two or more of the lanes. Each lane includes a weight sensor that provides weight data about a load on the lane. Based on the weight data and item data indicative of individual weights of those items stowed on the shelf, interaction data indicative of an activity such as a pick or place of an item may be determined. The interaction data may specify what item was picked or placed, quantity of that item that was picked or placed, and so forth. Data from other sensors, such as a camera, may be used to determine the interaction data.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: AMAZON TECHNOLOGIES, INCInventors: Alexander Clark Prater, Ivan Avramov, Ismael Medrano, Benjamin Lloyd Shapiro, Navid Shiee, Brett Allen Skaloud
