  • Publication number: 20200027500
    Abstract: Power consumption for refresh of memory devices on a memory module is reduced by each memory device on the memory module to one of a plurality of sub channels on the memory module. Each sub channel has a thermal sensor that monitors the temperature of the DRAM chips in the region. The refresh rate is increased only for the memory devices in the sub channel in which the memory devices operate above a predefined high temperature. This results in a reduction in power required by the memory module for refresh and an increase in the maximum bandwidth of the memory module.

  • Publication number: 20190339091
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a navigation application that allows a user to peek ahead or behind during a turn-by-turn navigation presentation that the application provides while tracking a device (e.g., a mobile device, a vehicle, etc.) traversal of a physical route. As the device traverses along the physical route, the navigation application generates a navigation presentation that shows a representation of the device on a map traversing along a virtual route that represents the physical route on the map. While providing the navigation presentation, the navigation application can receive user input to look ahead or behind along the virtual route. Based on the user input, the navigation application moves the navigation presentation to show locations on the virtual route that are ahead or behind the displayed current location of the device on the virtual route. This movement can cause the device representation to no longer be visible in the navigation presentation.

  • Patent number: 10437460
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a map tool on a mobile device for implementing cartographically aware gestures directed to a map view of a map region. The map tool may base a cartographically aware gesture on an actual gesture input directed to a map view and based on map data for the map region that may include metadata corresponding to elements within the map region. The map tool may then determine, based on one or more elements of the map data, a modification to be applied to an implementation to the gesture. Given the modification to the gesture implementation, the map tool may then render, based on performing the modification to the gesture, an updated map view instead of an updated map view based solely on the user gesture.
