  • Publication number: 20180314260
    Abstract: Fixed segmented lattice planning for a mobile automation apparatus is provided. A mobile automation apparatus is provisioned with a plurality of segments for a plurality of paths through an environment, each of the plurality of segments being fixed in a reference frame, the plurality of segments arranged in a lattice configuration, with adjacent segments defining fixed nodes in the lattice configuration. The apparatus navigates through the environment on a segment-by-segment basis, storing control inputs and error signals for each segment and then later, when again navigating a segment using stored control inputs and error signals to generate current control inputs, along with current error signals, and storing the current control inputs and the current error signals. Indeed, each time the apparatus navigates a segment in the lattice configuration, the control inputs and the error signals are updated to refine navigation through the environment at each navigation through a segment.

  • Patent number: 10042775
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a virtualized storage environment with one or more virtual machines operating on a host and sharing host resources. Each virtual machine has a virtual disk in communication with a persistent storage device. The virtual machine(s) may be misaligned with the persistent storage device so that a virtual block address does not correspond with a persistent storage block address. A relationship between the virtual disk(s) and the persistent storage device is established, and more specifically, an alignment delta between the devices is established. The delta is employed to translate the virtual address to the persistent address so that the virtual and persistent storage blocks are aligned to satisfy a read or write operation.

  • Publication number: 20180082622
    Abstract: The present techniques are capable of identifying and pinpointing defective microdrivers and/or row/column drivers either before or after any ?LEDs have been placed on the display. Using the architectures described herein, test data may be delivered in a parallel fashion to the drivers from support circuitry, such as a timing controller and/or a main board, and outputs based on the test data may be similarly delivered back to the support circuitry do determine which drivers are defective. This yields access to the output of every microdriver and row drier, thus enabling the identification of specific defective elements.

  • Patent number: 9921768
    Abstract: Data is sent to correspond to a load/store-type operation associated with shared memory over a link according to a memory access link protocol and the memory access link protocol is to be overlaid on another, different link protocol. A request is sent to enter a low power state, where the request is to include a data value encoded in a field of a token, the token is to indicate a start of packet data and is to further indicate whether subsequent data to be sent after the token is to include data according to one of the other link protocol and the memory access link protocol.
