Publication number: 20240076129Abstract: A method for delivering a plurality of packages is described. The method includes obtaining, via a processor, information associated with a delivery plan of the plurality of packages from at least one memory. Based on the information, the method includes determining, via the processor, a current location, and a destination location of a target container. In response to the determination, the method includes determining, via the processor, a movement plan to move the target container to the destination location. Based on the movement plan, the method includes activating, via the processor, a first set of motorized tiles to move the target container to the destination location. The method further includes receiving, via the processor, an updated movement plan from a server plan when a preset condition is met. Based on the updated movement plan, the method includes activating, via the processor, a second set of motorized tiles.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Steven Stark, Girish Kumar Yadav, Timothy Mark Feldkamp, Kurt Michael Lundeen, David Melcher, John Randolf Vincent, Yifan Chen, Sarah Garrow

Publication number: 20230244395Abstract: This document describes techniques for storing virtual disk payload data. In an exemplary configuration, each virtual disk extent can be associated with state information that indicates whether the virtual disk extent is described by a virtual disk file. Under certain conditions the space used to describe a virtual disk extent can be reclaimed and state information can be used to determine how read and/or write operations directed to the virtual disk extent are handled. In addition to the foregoing, other techniques are described in the claims, figures, and detailed description of this document.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John A.

Publication number: 20220291875Abstract: Examples described herein generally relate to hosting virtual memory backed kernel isolated containers. A server includes at least one physical processor and at least one physical computer memory addressable via physical memory addresses. The at least one physical computer memory stores executable code configured to provide at least one host including a kernel and at least one kernel isolated container within the at least one host. The host allocates virtual memory having virtual memory addresses to a respective container of the at least one kernel isolated container. The host pins a subset of the virtual memory addresses to a subset of the physical memory addresses. The host performs a direct memory access operation or device memory-mapped input-output operation of the respective container on the subset of the physical memory addresses. At least part of the physical computer memory that is not pinned is oversubscribed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Gerardo DIAZ-CUELLAR, Omar CARDONA, Jacob Kappeler OSHINS, John STARKS, Craig Daniel WILHITE

Patent number: 11439143Abstract: A temperature sensor for monitoring an organ or tissue is configured to measure a temperature inside of a container configured to contain the organ or tissue. The temperature sensor is disposed exterior to the organ container and the temperature sensor is a non-contact temperature sensor. The temperature sensor may be part of an apparatus for perfusing, transporting, and/or storing an organ or tissue. A coolant container may have an aperture through which the temperature sensor measures a temperature of at least one of the organ or tissue or a perfusate fluid surrounding the organ or tissue. The temperature sensor is preferably an infrared temperature sensor. Multiple temperature sensors may be provided that measure the temperature organ or tissue or perfusate fluid surrounding the organ or tissue, for example in case one of the temperature sensors fails.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2012Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: LIFELINE SCIENTIFIC, INC.Inventors: David Kravitz, Christopher P.

Publication number: 20220224726Abstract: Distribution and management of services in virtual environments is described herein. In one or more implementations, a service distribution and management model is implemented in which system services and applications are seamlessly distributed across multiple containers which each implement a different runtime environment. In one or more implementations, a system for distributing access to services in a host operating system of a computing device includes a host operating system configured to implement a host runtime environment, and one or more services implemented by the host operating system. The system further includes a service control manager configured to enable communication between a client stub of a service implemented in a client runtime environment and a service provider of the service that is implemented in a service runtime environment that is separate from the first client runtime environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Hari R.

Publication number: 20210382739Abstract: A fine-grain selectable partially privileged container virtual computing environment provides a vehicle by which processes that are directed to modifying specific aspects of a host computing environment can be delivered to, and executed upon, the host computing environment while simultaneously maintaining the advantageous and desirable protections and isolations between the remaining aspects of the host computing environment and the partially privileged container computing environment. Such partial privilege is provided based upon directly or indirectly delineated actions that are allowed to be undertaken on the host computing environment by processes executing within the partially privileged container virtual computing environment and actions which are not allowed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2020Publication date: December 9, 2021Inventors: Amber Tianqi GUO, Frederick J.
