Publication number: 20240122367Abstract: A pop up cover for a crib is provided for providing a safe, comfortable and isolated environment for a child in a crib. The pop-up cover may be made of breathable fabric panels having an integrated frame, for example a flexible frame, which can be folded (collapsed) on itself, for example when folded in specific ways if appropriate force is applied and which keeps the fabric in a taught, open position when unfolded (preventing the panels form falling inwards onto each other). The pop up cover can be lightweight and compact, quick and easy to set up, dark inside and breathable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Kathryn Beck Mallory, Louise Wingfield Childs, Maureen Carroll, Stephen Jones, Jeffrey Juskowich

Publication number: 20230297426Abstract: Various embodiments include techniques for utilizing resources on a processing unit. Thread groups executing on a processor begin execution with specified resources, such as a number of registers and an amount of shared memory. During execution, one or more thread groups may determine that the thread groups have excess resources needed to execute the current functions. Such thread groups can deallocate the excess resources to a free pool. Similarly, during execution, one or more thread groups may determine that the thread groups have fewer resources needed to execute the current functions. Such thread groups can allocate the needed resources from the free pool. Further, producer thread groups that generate data for consumer thread groups can deallocate excess resources prior to completion. The consumer thread groups can allocate the excess resources and initiate execution while the producer thread groups complete execution, thereby decreasing latency between producer and consumer thread groups.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Rajballav DASH, Stephen JONES, Jack Hilaire CHOQUETTE, Manan PATEL, Ronny M.
