Abstract: A trailer reversing assist system for controlling reversing operations of a vehicle and trailer connected to the vehicle includes a module that detects an angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle, and outputs a trailer angle signal corresponding to the detected angle. The system also includes a human machine interface (HMI) device that provides an output signal based upon an input of the user, where the generated output signal includes information regarding magnitude and direction of a desired change to the angle. The system calculates a trailer trajectory that positions the trailer at a target location or calculates a trailer trajectory correction, wherein the calculation is performed using the output signal as corresponding to a change relative to the detected angle, and the detected angle corresponds to the trailer angle signal generated at the time of operation of the HMI device by the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a layered packaging film for fresh produce. The film provides a water vapour transmission rate of at least 30 g m?2 per day, and includes a polymer layer with a sealing temperature of 205° C. or less. The present invention also provides a comprising fresh produce enclosed by a packaging film, wherein the packaging film is sealed by an elongate seal extending along the underside of the package, and wherein the elongate seal has a sealing strength such that when the packaging film is lifted from the upper side of the fresh produce package the seal breaks permitting the packaging film to be removed from the fresh produce in a single lifting action.

Abstract: Packaging films suitable for packaging fresh produce comprising a first layer of polymer film which comprises an amorphous copolyamide or a polyamide blend comprising at least one amorphous polyamide. The packaging films have a water vapour transmission rate of between 15 and 150 g/m2 at 23° C. and 50% relative humidity. The films have enhanced visual properties and may be advantageous used for the retail packaging of fresh produce.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention set forth techniques for resolving page faults associated with a copy engine. A copy engine within a parallel processor receives a copy operation that includes a set of copy commands. The copy engine executes a first copy command included in the set of copy commands that results in a page fault. The copy engine stores the set of copy commands to the memory. At least one advantage of the disclosed techniques is that the copy engine can perform copy operations that involve source and destination memory pages that are not pinned, leading to reduced memory demand and greater flexibility.

Abstract: A copy subsystem within a processor includes a set of logical copy engines and a set of physical copy engines. Each logical copy engine corresponds to a different command stream implemented by a device driver, and each logical copy engine is configured to receive copy commands via the corresponding command stream. When a logical copy engine receives a copy command, the logical copy engine distributes the command, or one or more subcommands derived from the command, to one or more of the physical copy engines. The physical copy engines can perform multiple copy operations in parallel with one another, thereby allowing the bandwidth of the communication link(s) to be saturated.

Abstract: A multi-threaded processing unit includes a hardware pre-processor coupled to one or more processing engines (e.g., copy engines, GPCs, etc.) that implement pre-emption techniques by dividing tasks into smaller subtasks and scheduling subtasks on the processing engines based on the priority of the tasks. By limiting the size of the subtasks, higher priority tasks may be executed quickly without switching the context state of the processing engine. Tasks may be subdivided based on a threshold size or by taking into account other consideration such as physical boundaries of the memory system.

Abstract: Non-contiguous or tiled payload data are efficiently transferred between peers over a fabric. Specifically, a client transfers a byte enable message to a peer device via a mailbox mechanism, where the byte enable message specifies which bytes of the payload data being transferred via the data packet are to be written to the frame buffer on the peer device and which bytes are not to be written. The client transfers the non-contiguous or tiled payload payload data to the peer device. Upon receiving the payload data, the peer device writes bytes from the payload data into the target frame buffer for only those bytes enabled via the byte enable message. One advantage of the present invention is that non-contiguous or tiled data are transferred over a fabric with improved efficiency.
