Abstract: A remote accessor apparatus captures a state of an existing data store and exports the state to a hosted projected data store. When a file operation interceptor apparatus receives a request, it determines whether it requires a transmission from the existing data store or it can be fulfilled locally. An operation controller combines local and transmitted data to fulfill the requested file operation and stores the difference locally. On-demand, read/write requests are intercepted and fulfilled by a combination of locally provisioned file content operations and remote access requests to the agent apparatus in whole or in part. Upon first request, file contents are transferred to meet application need but are then retained for other users and other uses. Upon request, a new state for the existing data store is provided by combining archived data with local file operations.

Abstract: A circuit budgets torque among independent field-oriented motor control circuits. A desired vehicle yaw turning moment is received from an operator control input. The circuit determines a positive or negative torque target for each electrically powered drive wheel and transmits it to an adaptive field-oriented motor control circuit which provides voltage magnitude and voltage frequency to a poly-phase synchronous alternating current electric motor. When wheel loading, limited traction, or stability prevents any motor from attaining the torque target, that data is returned to the budgeting circuit and torque budget is adjusted for all adaptive field-oriented motor control circuits. Varying numbers of powered wheels are assigned torque depending on vehicle dynamics. Performance of the vehicle can be adapted to driver capabilities. A vehicle may serve as a driving simulator for diverse vehicles.

Abstract: An approach is described for providing unified technological stack management (e.g., via a global storage instance) where metadata is delocalized from storage nodes. The approach includes creating a global storage instance, wherein the global storage instance contains metadata for a storage layer including a plurality of storage nodes, and wherein the global storage instance is delocalized from the plurality of storage nodes. The approach also includes receiving a database operation request from an operating system layer. The approach further includes mediating the database operation request between the operating system layer and the storage layer using the global storage instance.

Abstract: An apparatus transforms vehicle operator intentions to wheel propulsion controls using an operator interface, sensors, a torque budgeting circuit, at least four motor controllers, and a vehicle/operator personality profile store. The store provides instructions and parameters which control dynamic vehicle responsiveness and reflect an operator's personality. The instructions and parameters are accessible by an application programming interface (API). Vehicle characteristics may be recorded by operating the vehicle through a prescribed route or evolution. A revised performance profile of a vehicle can be installed when the vehicle is reconfigured. Performance of a vehicle is modified to mimic a different vehicle by installing a new software dynamic performance profile. The API enables an open architecture for developers to customize vehicle dynamics without cutting metal.

A circuit can transform and reverse serial data frames into and out of Internet Protocol packets including an encrypted IP packet. It includes a circuit to dispose of CAN data frames which are inconsistent with any mission of locally attached CAN or LIN compatible devices. The method of operation includes: receiving and dynamically installing configuration data to connect to an Ethernet medium as a terminus or as a relay in a ring, subscribe to a Intranet Vehicle Private Network, determine Quality of Service priority and recipient identification, receive and transform LIN and CAN data frames to IP packets, encrypt and decrypt packets for transmission, and conduct sender verification and data frame consistency.

Abstract: A networking apparatus couples a plurality of vehicle nodes to improve bandwidth, security, and subsystem independence. The networking apparatus couples a plurality of thin client units to a single virtualized master control unit container host. Each thin client unit transforms CAN protocol messages to encrypted packets for a real time Ethernet interconnect. Vehicle subsystem modules connect via a personalized thin client unit which will filter, correct, and authenticate messages at the periphery of the networking apparatus. Between thin client units, the host encrypts and decrypts a message, directs the message to the proper recipient, authenticates each message, and centrally provides the functionality of a plurality of electronic control units. The virtualized master control unit container host may be updated over the air and perform installation and validation checks of a new version of one or more electronic control unit images while the vehicle is in operation using a previous version.

Abstract: A circuit controls a polyphase alternating current electric motor with adaptive adjustments to voltage magnitude and voltage frequency when it receives measurements of wheel slip and wheel skid. The apparatus receives target torque requests as well as sensor data from a wheel and local motion and acceleration detectors. When the target torque is not attainable because of loading or loss of traction, the circuit adaptively determines and provides an attainable torque and transmits the attainable torque value which enables other target torque requests to be amended.

Abstract: A propulsion apparatus powers a vehicle in two dimensions: linearly forward and backward and rotationally in a horizontal plane. A plurality of electric motors applies angular force around a vertical axis of rotation passing through the center of mass of a four wheeled vehicle by delivering unequal magnitude and phase of electrical voltage to four polyphase Alternating Current (AC) motors each individually powering a single wheel. An adaptive torque control circuit transforms operator controlled vehicle steering into current or voltage magnitude and voltage frequency powering each of the four poly-phase AC motors.

Abstract: A coherent file system and method of operation for a file state authority coupled to file state sub-set satellites addresses congestion and latency effects on a plurality of peer workstation clients organized in neighborhoods. Very large files are versioned and metadata recorded in a file state view determines which file blocks make up each version of a committed file. Metadata may be requested from neighboring workstations to locate desired file blocks. File block transmission is minimized to fulfill read requests only when not accessible at a workstation's local file block store.

Abstract: Each one of many networked user workstation apparatuses may commit a file into the variant controlled file system by storing a version tracking record for each change log and content point for each block of the file into its local file system view store, and transmitting a version tracking record to a network attached file state ledgerdemain store. Each user workstation displays a file system view of every variant of every file in the file system for selection. When required, the workstation applies change logs to content points according to first a local file system view store for a version tracking record, then requesting and comparing version tracking records from confederated repositories at other user workstation apparatuses, and if unsatisfied, obtains a version tracking record from a network attached file state ledgerdemain store.
