Patent number: 11965470Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a turbocharger includes a compressor having a compressor wheel, a turbine provided within a housing, and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) flow path. The EGR flow path includes a first fluid connection in the housing and located in proximity to the turbine, a second fluid connection located in proximity to a trailing edge of the compressor wheel, an EGR control valve disposed between the first fluid connection and the second fluid connection, the EGR control valve configured to selectively operate the turbocharger in a low-heat mode having an EGR up to 50% and an operational mode having an EGR rate typically less than 35%.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Joseph Powell McHenry, Paul Troxler, Robert Malcolm Wallace, Michael Harris, Robert Lotz, Michael J.

Publication number: 20240095404Abstract: Data integrity checks for reducing communication latency is described. A transmitting endpoint transmits data to a receiving endpoint by generating an integrity tag for a first subset of data blocks and a second integrity tag for a second subset of data blocks. In implementations, the first and second integrity tags overlap at least one data block and are offset based on computational complexities of generating the integrity tags. A receiving endpoint generates comparison tags for each of the integrity tags and uses the comparison tags to validate an authenticity of received data. In response to validating the first and second integrity tags, data blocks covered by both the first and second integrity tags are released for use. Additional integrity tags are generated and validated for subsequent subsets of data blocks during data communication, thus reducing latency by offsetting times at which comparison tags are generated and validated.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Shaofeng An, Shiqi Sun, Michael James Tresidder, YanFeng Wang, Peter Malcolm Barnes

Patent number: 8627193Abstract: Selection and presentation of media streams, in which presentation is not limited by order imposed by the digital content representative of those media streams, in response to bookmarks and watchpoints settable and usable by a user. Bookmarks reference a location within the media stream, not necessarily pre-selected and possibly dynamically selected, in which a presentation can be started or restarted therefrom. Watchpoints reference a location within the media stream, or a presentation state for the media stream, in which an action can be triggered thereby. Bookmarks and watchpoints provide a general technique for presenting selections from media streams in response to metadata.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Kaleidescape, Inc.Inventors: Paul Rechsteiner, Shawn Neely, Lawrence Kesteloot, Michael A.

Patent number: 8359334Abstract: Integrating a file system with a RAID array that exports precise information about the arrangement of data blocks in the RAID subsystem. The present invention uses separate current-write location (CWL) pointers for each disk in the disk array where the pointers simply advance through the disks as writes occur. The present invention writes on the disk with the lowest CWL pointer. A new disk is chosen only when the algorithm starts allocating space for a new file, or when it has allocated N blocks on the same disk for a single file. A sufficient number of blocks are defined as all the buffers in a chunk of N sequential buffers in a file. The result is that CWL pointers are never more than N blocks apart on different disks, and large files have N consecutive blocks on the same disk.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Network Appliance, Inc.Inventors: David Hitz, Michael Malcolm, James Lau, Byron Rakitzis

Patent number: 8280051Abstract: Secure presentation of media streams includes encoding the media streams into digital content, encrypting a portion of that digital content, the portion being required for presentation, in which the encrypted version is substantially unchanged in formatting parameters from the clear version of the digital content. Selecting those portions for encryption so there is no change in distribution of the media stream: packetization of the digital data, or synchronization of audio with video portions of the media stream. When encoding the media stream into MPEG-2, refraining from encrypting information by which the video block data is described, packet formatting information, and encrypting the video block data using a block-substitution cipher. A block-substitution cipher can be used to encrypt each sequence of 16 bytes of video data in each packet, possibly leaving as many as 15 bytes of video data in each packet in the clear.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2010Date of Patent: October 2, 2012Assignee: Kaleidescape, Inc.Inventors: Michael A.

Publication number: 20120237078Abstract: A method of embedding information in digital content representing media streams. The method includes (1) selecting a set of locations within that digital content reprensenting the media stream to embed information, (2) selecting a set of possible alterations to make at those locations, and (3) making a subset of the possible alterations. The set of locations and possible alterations is herein sometimes called a “watermark.” The subset of actual alterations that are made is herein sometimes called a “fingerprint.” The method determines a set of locations at which there are alternative versions of digital content representing the same media stream, such as one being the original and one being an alternative version of the same digital content, herein sometimes called the “original movie” and the “alt-movie,” or herein sometimes called the “original block” and the “alt-block” for a particular block in the digital content representing the media stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2012Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: KALEIDESCAPE, INC.Inventors: Stephen Watson, Daniel A.
