  • Publication number: 20240116584
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a trailer. One example system includes a transceiver and an electronic controller coupled to the trailer and the transceiver. The electronic controller is configured to determine that a tractor has entered an area proximate to the trailer. The electronic controller is configured to determine that the tractor has mechanically coupled to the trailer. The electronic controller is configured to receive, via the transceiver, a command related to a component of the trailer. The electronic controller is configured to operate the component based on the command.

  • Publication number: 20230306551
    Abstract: Described herein is a graphics processor comprising a processing resource configured to perform processing operations, a codec configured to compress and decompress data associated with the processing operations, and circuitry configured to calculate a metadata address for a compressed surface based on a flat virtual memory address mapping between the address of the compressed surface and the metadata address. The compressed surface is to store data associated with a processing operation to be performed by the processing resource and the metadata address is a virtual address that stores compression metadata for the compressed surface. The circuitry can configure the codec to access the compressed surface based on the compression metadata.

  • Publication number: 20220138286
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for encryption based technology. Data may be encrypted locally with a graphics processor with encryption engines. The graphics processor components may be verified with a root-of-trust and based on collection of claims. The graphics processor may further be able to modify encrypted data from a non-pageable format to a pageable format. The graphics processor may further process data associated with a virtual machine based on a key that is known by the virtual machine and the graphics processor.

  • Patent number: 11246800
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a lockable canister for retaining and selectively dispensing medications is disclosed. To prevent drug diversion, a plurality of doses of medication may be loaded into the locking canister at a central pharmacy and then the canister may be locked to prevent unauthorized removal of medication in transit to a remote automated dispensing unit that may be located in a remote pharmacy. The lockable canister may include a canister housing and a canister cover that may be locked to the canister housing to enclose the plurality of doses of medication. The canister cover may include tamper evident or tamper resistant features. The canister may include one or more locking mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access to the medication in the canister in transit or before it is specifically authorized for dispensing.

  • Patent number: 11217336
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a remote automated dispensing unit (ADU) may include an enclosed cabinet, one or more locking mechanisms to keep the cabinet secure, one or more doors on the cabinet to allow access to the internal components, and a computer system that manages the dispensing of inventory. The ADU may include a mechanism for the dispensing of medications for individual patients including: one or more canisters for storing medications, one or more canister base stations for securing the one or more canisters to the ADU, and a chute and funnel system for the guidance of medications as they fall from the canisters into a packaging station for packaging medications into packages for particular patients. One or more sensors may be used to detect misdispensing of medications, and a combination of sensors and operating sequences may be used to reduce the amount of misdispensed medication.

  • Patent number: 9478000
    Abstract: A method for sharing memory between a central processing unit (CPU) and an input/output (I/O) device of a computing device is described. The method may include creating an allocation of memory for the I/O device to operate on. The method includes detecting whether the allocation is not page-aligned, wherein an allocation is page-aligned when its base address and size be evenly divisible by the applicable page-size. The allocation may be successfully shared, even if not page-aligned, even if an operating system of the computing device doesn't support sharing of non-page-aligned allocations.
