  • Publication number: 20170290095
    Abstract: A disclosed computer-implemented method for heating an item in a chamber of an electronic oven towards a target state includes heating the item with a set of applications of energy to the chamber while the electronic oven is in a respective set of configurations. The set of applications of energy and respective set of configurations define a respective set of variable distributions of energy in the chamber. The method also includes sensing sensor data that defines a respective set of responses by the item to the set of applications of energy. The method also includes generating a plan to heat the item in the chamber. The plan is generated by a control system of the electronic oven and uses the sensor data.

  • Publication number: 20160124627
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for adjusting point of sale (POS) interfaces. In some embodiments, a POS device includes a memory, a display and a sensor. The memory is configured to store data and computer-executable instructions. The display is configured to present a user interface, the user interface having a first interface and a second interface. The sensor is configured to detect an adjustment in a physical position of the POS device from a first position and from a second position. The first interface is presented in the first position and the second interface is presented in the second position. The first interface has a first set of functionalities that is prevented from being accessible in the second interface.

  • Patent number: 8407451
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor with multiple hardware units that generate program application load, store, and I/O interface requests to system busses within the information handling system. The processor includes a resource allocation identifier (RAID) that links the processor hardware unit initiating a system bus request with a specific resource allocation group. The resource allocation group assigns a specific bandwidth allocation rate to the initiating processor. When a load, store, or I/O interface bus request reaches the I/O bus for execution, the resource allocation manager restricts the amount of bandwidth associated with each I/O request by assigning discrete amounts of bandwidth to each successive I/O requester. Successive stages of the instruction pipeline in the hardware unit contain the resource allocation identifiers (RAID) linked to the specific load, store, or I/O instruction.

  • Patent number: 8229727
    Abstract: A system and method for incorporating design behavior and external stimulus in microdevice model feedback using a shared memory is presented. The invention describe herein uses the attached memory model to provide additional heuristics to an application executing on an emulation system's device model, which results in a more detail and real-life device emulation. The attached memory model provides a storage area for a runtime software environment to store emulation data, which is subsequently provided to the device model during emulation. The emulation data may include 1) randomization stimuli to the device model, 2) additional runtime data for checking heuristics, and 3) emulation data points that are otherwise not accessible to the device model.
