  • Publication number: 20230267076
    Abstract: A multiple-actuator hard disk drive includes a first actuator associated with a first logical unit and configured to operate on a first set of disk surfaces, a second actuator associated with a second logical unit and configured to operate on a second set of disk surfaces greater than the first set, and a controller accessing a mapping of logical memory addresses to physical memory locations. The mapping maps the first logical unit to the physical memory locations of the first set of surfaces and a parasitic portion of the second set of surfaces, and maps the second logical unit to the physical memory locations of the second set of surfaces exclusive of the parasitic portion of the second set of surfaces. Thus, data transfer commands performed on the parasitic portion are executed by one actuator while credit is given to the logical unit associated with the other actuator.

  • Publication number: 20230221437
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for configuring architectures for a sensor, and more particularly for light detection and ranging (hereinafter, “LIDAR”) systems based on ASIC sensor architectures supporting autonomous navigation systems. Effective ASIC sensor architecture can enable an improved correlation between sensor data as well as configurability and responsiveness of the system to its surrounding environment and avoid any unnecessary delay within the decision-making process that may result in a failure of the autonomous driving system. It may be essential to integrated multiple functions within an electronic module and implement the functionality with one or more ASICs.

  • Publication number: 20230108278
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a helmet of a layered and segmented design including impact attenuation structures. The helmet can include a series of layers that individually, or in combination, provide the necessary functions of the helmet. The helmet may feature a layer with a low coefficient of friction to act as a slip layer and slide due to rotational force. The present technology includes impact attenuation structures of predetermined geometries, layers, and materials to allow for an appropriate impact response with a certain degree of control over the buckling process and an adaptive impact response. The present technology of impact attenuation structures may be applicable where impact absorption and controlled buckling is desired, such as bike helmets.

  • Publication number: 20220358284
    Abstract: A method for partially publishing edits to a document is described. A first document including a first cell and a second cell is displayed on first user account on a first computing device and on a second user account. A second document including a linked version of the first cell and a linked version of the second cell is displayed. An edit of the first cell is received from the first user account and an edit of the second cell is received. In response to receiving an indication from the first user account that the edit of the first cell is to be published, the edit of the first cell is made to the linked version of the first cell, while the linked version of the second cell is unchanged so that the content of the linked version of the second cell no longer matches that of the second cell.

  • Publication number: 20220298899
    Abstract: A hybrid hydraulic gas pump system includes a hydraulic gas pump installed on the lower end of a production tubular where the production tubular incorporates a gas lift system. The hydraulic gas pump may be operated using the same gas in the annular region as the gas lift system or may be operated using an independent supply line where the independent supply line is concentric with, or at least within, the production tubular. In some instances, the gas pump chamber may simply be an upper packer including a pickup tube, a check valve, and a pressurized gas supply line or other pressurized gas access mechanism along with a lower packer including a check valve. Each upper and lower check valve allows fluid to flow from below the packer to above the packer.
