  • Patent number: 10176102
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a content addressable cache that is optimized for SSD use are disclosed. In some embodiments, the cache utilizes an identifier array where identification information is stored for each entry in the cache. However, the size of the bit field used for the identification information is not sufficient to uniquely identify the data stored at the associated entry in the cache. A smaller bit field increases the likelihood of a “false positive”, where the identification information indicates a cache hit when the actual data does not match the digest. A larger bit field decreases the probability of a “false positive”, at the expense of increased metadata memory space. Thus, the architecture allows for a compromise between metadata memory size and processing cycles.

  • Publication number: 20170346398
    Abstract: A DC/DC power converter connected to a DC power source/load having first and second DC terminals. The DC/DC power converter operates in voltage step-up and step-down modes. The converter includes first and second DC buses connected to the first and second DC terminals and third and fourth DC buses defining a DC link. Energy storage devices are connected between the third and fourth buses. A first converter leg includes a first branch with switches and a second branch. Each switch includes a controllable semiconductor switch and an anti-parallel connected freewheeling diode. A controller switches the controllable semiconductor switches between a conducting and non-conducting state, in the step-up and step-down modes, switching to supply power from the DC power source/load to the DC link in the step-up mode and to supply power from the DC link to the DC power source/load in the step-down mode.

  • Patent number: 9696966
    Abstract: The software development tool (701) forms part of a software development kit (700). The software development tool (701) receives as input object files (606) and library files (607) and subjects the object file instructions and data definitions of the object files and the library files to re-sequencing to generate new object files and the links between them which are semantically equivalent to the input object files and library files and which are used to generate an optimized executable. The software development tool (701) is capable of automatically generating an executable, without requiring any modification of the source code, which is optimized to execute more deterministically and with respect to execution time; reduced processor and memory requirements; reduced off-chip memory accesses; reduced memory latency.

  • Patent number: 9677252
    Abstract: A tooth for earthmoving and mining equipment, including a cutting tip; and a mounting portion rearward of the cutting tip, the mounting portion having ‘a cavity therein opening to the rear and including a cone portion extending forward from the rear opening and terminating in a beak portion. The cone portion being defined at least in part by spaced apart upper and lower faces and opposed spaced apart side faces, the upper and lower faces being joined to the side faces by curved corner faces and the opposed upper and lower faces converging towards each other and the opposed side faces converging towards each other away from the rear opening so that the curved corner faces diminish away from the rear opening.

  • Publication number: 20170034470
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses utilize multiple, independent sensing devices to collaboratively gather sensing data. A server or one of the sensing devices receives information which is used to select a target, and the device commences gathering sensing data of a target. The server or the device then solicits other devices to provide additional perspectives of the target. The other devices can solicit still other devices, in a cascading or other fashion. The concurrent, multiple perspectives thus gathered are provided to a collector, and can be mosaicked or otherwise stitched together.

  • Publication number: 20150161648
    Abstract: System and methods for capturing, managing, and triggering user journeys is provided. The system is configured to enable participating individuals (e.g., a user) to generate and deliver trackable digital objects. The digital objects can be associated with enterprises, goods, services, etc. Each object can be traced by the system over a user journey, for example, as the digital object is referred through a user's social connections, to capture rich metadata. Each interaction with the digital object can be tracked by the system and the captured data attributed to the originating user, intermediate users, among other users and entities. The system provides accurate and clear measurement of influence on any one of the originating users and downstream users who interact with the digital object. In some implementations, the tracked data can be used to trigger additional processes based on action events associated with the digital object.

  • Publication number: 20150163311
    Abstract: Systems and methods deliver the opportunity for audience members to fully engage their contacts and combine television entertainment with social media activity that is trackable. A participant can register their “social vote” by signing up to a fan distribution campaign. The participant can share the campaign into their social networks. The act of sharing the campaign creates a trackable digital object unique to that participant that is injected into the participant's social network. As the participant's friends, connections, family, etc., interact with the trackable digital object, the activity is traceable to the participant and the participant's influence over their network can be measured and rewarded even across multiple social media channels or other distribution channels. In the social voting context, the participant can be rewarded based on the number of votes the participant collects across their social network channels, for example, as the participant's friends engage in social voting.
