Patent number: 11947465Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving, at an operating system executing on a processor, a write request from a program to write data to a memory. The write request includes a virtual memory address and the data. It is determined that the virtual memory address is not assigned to a physical memory address. Based on the determining, the unassigned virtual memory address is assigned to a physical memory address in an overflow memory. The data is written to the physical memory address in the overflow memory and an indication that the write data was successfully written is returned to the program. Future requests by the program to access the virtual memory address are directed to the physical memory address in the overflow memory.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Michael Peter Lyons, Andrew C.

Patent number: 11092480Abstract: Light obstruction can be detected using a light obstruction sensor. In one example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a light obstruction sensor, light being emitted by a light source, a light level being associated with the light, and the light source and the light obstruction sensor being disposed in a light assembly. The method further includes determining, by a processing device, whether the light level exceeds a first threshold. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the light level exceeds the first threshold, determining that the light being emitted by the light source is at least partially impaired by an object. The method further includes validating, by the processing device, the determination that the light source is at least partially impaired by the object to confirm whether the light source is at least partially impaired by the object.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Tynan J.

Patent number: 10933807Abstract: A method for visual hazard avoidance of a road hazard is provided. The visual hazard avoidance is implemented by an on-road projection system, which is integrated into a vehicle. The on-road projection system includes a projector and a computing device. The on-road projection system implements the method while the vehicle is in motion. The computing device causes the projector to generate a projection on a road as the vehicle is approaching the road hazard. Note that the projection identifies a tire path of the vehicle. The computing device also causes the projector to terminate the projection on the road once the road hazard in passed.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Tynan J.
