  • Publication number: 20240118966
    Abstract: A data processing system comprising a processor having a working memory and processing logic, a boot system configured to load one or more algorithms for initializing a basic input output system (BIOS) of the processor into the working memory and an error correction system configured to start a watchdog timer and to monitor initialization of the processor, the error correction system further configured to implement a corrective process if the watchdog timer times out prior to initialization of the BIOS of the processor.

  • Publication number: 20240103632
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to providing gesture-based control of electronic devices. Providing gesture-based control may include determining, with a machine learning system that includes multiple machine learning models, a prediction of one or more gestures and their corresponding probabilities of being performed. A likelihood of the user's intent to actually perform that gesture may then be generated, based on the prediction and a gesture detection factor. The likelihood may be dynamically updated over time, and a visual, auditory, and/or haptic indicator of the likelihood may be provided as user feedback. The visual, auditory, and/or haptic indicator may be helpful to guide the user to the correct gesture if the gesture is intended, or to stop performing an action similar to the gesture if the gesture is not intended.

  • Patent number: 11940651
    Abstract: A light guide comprising a polymeric layer at least 25 percent transmissive over at least a 30 nm bandwidth in a wavelength range from 180 to 280 nm over a distance of at least 100 micrometers and visible light transparent reflecting layers (UV-C mirror) that are at least 50 percent reflective over at least 30 nm bandwidth in a wavelength range from 180 to 280 nm over an incident light angle of 0 to 90 degrees and that are at least 25 percent transmissive of visible light over at least 30 nm bandwidth in a wavelength range of 400 to 800 nm over an incident light angle of 0 to 90 degrees. The light guide is useful, for example, for antimicrobial surfaces.

  • Patent number: 9542244
    Abstract: A primitives library facilitates compiling, linking, and execution of programs that use specialized processors to perform primitive tasks. Data associated with a primitive may be accessed by a specialized-processor-based storage node manager independently of any other processing device.
