  • Publication number: 20250232048
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus and products for modifying a union file system are described herein. In some aspects, a method and apparatus include a processing device and memory, wherein the memory stores computer program instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to receive a user request to modify a file in a union file system and in response to a user having permission to read the file, copy up the file from a lower layer read-only file system of the union file system to an upper layer file system that is writeable, to produce a copied-up file. The copied-up file is modified in the upper layer file system based on a new file in the request. The new file in some implementations is a file to replace a file in the UFS or a file that is added to a directory in the UFS.

  • Patent number: 12346701
    Abstract: Global variables are shared between programs associated with different addressing modes. A first program of an application records an allocated address to a global variable in a global variable sharing area (GVSA). The first program is associated with a first addressing mode. The first program specifies the global variable to be shared across different addressing modes. An address of the GVSA is passed to a second program of the application that is loaded after the first program has been loaded. The second program is associated with a second addressing mode different from the first addressing mode. The second program also specifies the global variable in the second program to be shared across different addressing modes. The second program retrieves the allocated address to the global variable from the GVSA based on the address of the GVSA. The second program accesses the global variable based on the retrieved allocated address.

  • Publication number: 20250124933
    Abstract: Methods for generating an object based audio program, renderable in a personalizable manner, and including a bed of speaker channels renderable in the absence of selection of other program content (e.g., to provide a default full range audio experience). Other embodiments include steps of delivering, decoding, and/or rendering such a program. Rendering of content of the bed, or of a selected mix of other content of the program, may provide an immersive experience. The program may include multiple object channels (e.g., object channels indicative of user-selectable and user-configurable objects), the bed of speaker channels, and other speaker channels. Another aspect is an audio processing unit (e.g., encoder or decoder) configured to perform, or which includes a buffer memory which stores at least one frame (or other segment) of an object based audio program (or bitstream thereof) generated in accordance with, any embodiment of the method.

  • Patent number: 12277942
    Abstract: Methods for generating an object based audio program which is renderable in a personalizable manner, e.g., to provide an immersive, perception of audio content of the program. Other embodiments include steps of delivering (e.g., broadcasting), decoding, and/or rendering such a program. Rendering of audio objects indicated by the program may provide an immersive experience. The audio content of the program may be indicative of multiple object channels (e.g., object channels indicative of user-selectable and user-configurable objects, and typically also a default set of objects which will be rendered in the absence of a selection by a user) and a bed of speaker channels. Another aspect is an audio processing unit (e.g., encoder or decoder) configured to perform, or which includes a buffer memory which stores at least one frame (or other segment) of an object based audio program (or bitstream thereof) generated in accordance with, any embodiment of the method.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for analysing a property of a cornea of an eye using terahertz (THz) radiation are provided. The method includes projecting a first THz wave onto a surface of the cornea and detecting a first reflected wave being a reflection of the first THz wave reflected from the surface of the cornea. The method further includes deforming the cornea, projecting a second THz wave onto the surface of the cornea after the deforming and detecting a second reflected wave being a reflection of the second THz wave reflected from the surface of the cornea after the deforming. Finally, the method includes calculating the property of the cornea based on the first reflected wave and the second reflected wave.

  • Publication number: 20240389021
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to reducing power consumption of an electronic device scanning for wireless communication signals while maintaining or even improving an efficiency of the scanning operations. To do so, the electronic device may include more than one scan core, such as a main core and a receiving core. The receiving core may have limited functionality compared to the main core. For example, the receiving core may only receive wireless signals (including scanning for wireless signals). That is, the receiving core may not support certain operations that consume relative high power that are supported by the main core, such as transmission of signals. In this way, operation of the receiving core, either in place of or in addition to the main core, may reduce power consumption of the electronic device by avoiding high power consuming operations, such as data transmission, while scanning for various signals.

  • Publication number: 20240362309
    Abstract: An authentication screen that prevents access to at least one application via the computing device can be rendered on a display of a computing device. The computing device can scan a physical medium that is external to, and independent of, the computing device to acquire challenge data for a user from the physical medium and the computing device can acquire response data from the user. In response to a successful match between the challenge data and the response data, the authentication screen can be removed from the display and access to the at least one application can be granted. Once access to the computing device is granted to the user, the computing device can identify the user and manage the challenge data, response data, SSO sessions, and/or personalized device configurations.

  • Patent number: 11947993
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes creating a first file control block in a primary runtime environment with a first addressing mode and a second file control block in a secondary runtime environment with a second addressing mode, where both the first file control block and the second file control block describe a status of a first file of a caller program in the primary runtime environment. The parameters of the first file of the caller program in the primary runtime environment are passed to a target callee program in the secondary runtime environment. An anchor is added in the first file control block as a link to the second file control block. The first file control block are the second file control block synchronized with updates to the first file in the primary runtime environment and the passed parameters of the first file in the secondary runtime environment.
