Abstract: The work machine system comprises a tractor unit releasably connectable to interchangeable trailer units by a coupling. When a trailer unit is coupled to the tractor unit a work machine is formed for performing work functions. The tractor unit may not be capable of movement between trailer units when uncoupled, for example because it comprises only one pair of wheels rotating about a single axis and as such would tip over without support. The alignment system comprises a platform for supporting and holding the tractor unit thereon and a platform transport system to move the platform relative to the trailer units. Therefore, alignment for coupling between the tractor and trailer units can be achieved.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatuses of fine grain data migration in using memory as a service (MaaS) are described. For example, a memory status map can be used to identify the cache availability of sub-regions (e.g., cache lines) of a borrowed memory region (e.g., a borrowed remote memory page). Before accessing a virtual memory address in a sub-region, the memory status map is checked. If the sub-region has cache availability in the local memory, the memory management unit uses a physical memory address converted from the virtual memory address to make memory access. Otherwise, the sub-region is cached from the borrowed memory region to the local memory, before the physical memory address is used.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for intelligently dispatching vehicles to a vehicle service center to progress vehicles at a predefined rate through sequential stations of the vehicle service center. The disclosed systems can analyze services associated with vehicles. Based on the services, the disclosed systems can determine how to order, within a virtual queue, vehicles corresponding to the services. For example, the disclosed systems can predict a complexity associated with a service for a vehicle, and in turn, determine whether adding the vehicle to the service queue will allow the vehicle to move through a set of sequential stations in accordance with the predefined progression rate. In response, the disclosed systems can dispatch the vehicle, refrain from dispatching the vehicle, or otherwise dynamically respond to enable the vehicle to move through the set of sequential stations in accordance with the predefined progression rate.
