  • Patent number: 11930129
    Abstract: A system and method for disabling distracting apps on a driver's personal devices while allowing passengers travelling in the same vehicle to have full use of their personal devices. The system works by first identifying all the personal devices that are in the vehicle and then establishing a loose mesh network between those devices. Once the mesh network is established, the system identifies which of the personal devices is associated with the driver, and ensures that any distracting apps on the driver's personal device are disabled, while allowing full functionality for any passenger's personal devices.

  • Publication number: 20220413859
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor includes: a front end circuit to fetch and decode a read list instruction, the read list instruction to cause storage to a memory of a software-provided list of processor state information; and an execution circuit coupled to the front end circuit. The execution circuit, in response to the decoded read list instruction, is to read the processor state information stored in the processor and store each datum of the processor state information into an entry of a data table in the memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7249500
    Abstract: A measurement system (200) is disclosed comprising a Coriolis flow meter (222) and a control system (224). A base fluid (250) is first flowed through the Coriolis flow meter. The Coriolis flow meter measures a density of the base fluid and transmits a base fluid density measurement to the control system. A proppant (252) is then added to the base fluid to create a fracture fluid (202). The fracture fluid is then flowed through the Coriolis flow meter. The Coriolis flow meter measures a density of the fracture fluid and transmits a fracture fluid density measurement to the control system. The control system determines an amount of proppant in the fracture fluid based on the base fluid density measurement, the fracture fluid density measurement, and a density of the proppant.
