  • Publication number: 20240025292
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing a state of charge of a hybrid vehicle battery using an eCAT. Electrical energy is provided to a hybrid system for storage at the battery of the hybrid system. A first state of charge of the battery of the hybrid system is determined. Upon determining that the first state of charge is within a predetermined upper range, a determination is made as to whether to increase energy supplied to one or more hybrid vehicle components, the one or more hybrid vehicle components comprising at least the eCAT. At least a portion of the electrical energy is consumed at the eCAT.

  • Patent number: 7363574
    Abstract: A system and method for a parallel CRC calculation is provided. A set of parallel inputs are loaded into a control register, and this control register is then used with a parallel table look-up operation to look up CRC entries for each of the inputs using a single instruction. This is repeated until each input has been processed completely to produce a complete CRC. The parallel table look-up operation may be executed using the PowerPC Altivec vperm instruction.

  • Patent number: 7307453
    Abstract: Methods and computer readable media are provided for implementing state machines in parallel. A control vector is generated from current state and input bits. This vector is then used to determine the next state and any output bits for each of a plurality of state machines in parallel. In some implementations, the Altivec vperm instruction is used to perform a parallel table look-up.

  • Publication number: 20050163313
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are used to generate outputs according to a ciphering algorithm which for each of the outputs operates on a respective input using a respective key. The ciphering algorithm has a plurality of rounds in which functions are evaluated. For a least one of the functions, outputs are generated by looking up at least one look-up table with each look-up table being looked-up in parallel using respective inputs. Different methods for parallel table look-up are provided. The methods allows the ciphering algorithm to be implemented partially or entirely in parallel. An example parallel implementation involves the Kasumi algorithm in which S7 and S9 functions are evaluated in parallel for a plurality of inputs using vector instructions on an SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) architecture.

  • Publication number: 20050161107
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus used for loading concrete components through a loading hopper of a mixing truck. It comprises a substantially vertically-disposed cement discharge pipe substantially centered within the discharge hopper. A water inlet is also provided in the discharge hopper. An aggregate feeding mechanism having an outlet above the discharge hopper allows providing aggregates to the mixture. This apparatus is less vulnerable to congestion since cement falls directly into the mixing truck and is encapsulated in the other concrete components. It also provides less and possibly no airborne dust particles because of encapsulation. Overall, the apparatus and the corresponding method provide an increase in flow and discharge of concrete components, thereby allowing faster loading of mixing trucks.
