Abstract: A vehicle interior panel includes an adjustable locator. The adjustable locator is operable to move a panel body after the panel body is mounted to a vehicle body and enables alignment of an aesthetic feature line with a complimentary feature line of an adjacent vehicle interior panel. A post of the adjustable locator can engage a receiver of the vehicle body at a fixed location while a working surface of the adjustable locator exerts a force on a reaction surface of the panel body to move the panel body. The adjustable locator can include gear teeth, a cam surface, ratcheting features, an adjustment rotor, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for dynamically allocating memory using one or more lock-free pop-only FIFOs. One or more lock-free FIFOs are populated with FIFO nodes, where each FIFO node represents a memory allocation of a predetermined size. Each particular lock-free FIFO includes memory allocations of a single size. Different lock-free FIFOs may include memory allocations for different sizes to service allocation requests for different size memory allocations. A lock-free mechanism is used to pop FIFO nodes from the FIFO. The use of the lock-free FIFO allows multiple consumers to simultaneously attempt to pop the head FIFO node without first obtaining a lock to ensure exclusive access of the FIFO.

Abstract: A process for the production of a rheology modifier containing composition comprising the steps of: providing a rheology modifier, wherein said rheology modifier is selected from the group consisting of a water swellable polymer, a non-water soluble crystalline polymer, and mixtures thereof; providing a substantially anhydrous water-miscible liquid carrier; and dispersing said rheology modifier in said substantially anhydrous water-miscible liquid carrier to generate a slurry having a viscosity of less than 2000 mPas at 0.1 s?1 and 20° C. when measured using an AR 1000 rheometer.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for dynamically allocating memory using a nested hierarchical heap. A lock-free mechanism is used to access to a hierarchical heap data structure for allocating and deallocating memory from the heap. The heap is organized as a series of levels of fixed-size blocks, where all blocks at given level are the same size. At each lower level of the hierarchy, a collection of N blocks in the lower level equals the size of a single block at the level above. When a thread requests an allocation, one or more blocks at only one level are allocated to the thread. When threads are finished using an allocation, each thread deallocates the respective allocated blocks. When all of the blocks for a level have been deallocated, defragmentation is performed at that level.

Abstract: Embodiments of foldable substrates and methods for making foldable substrates for a motor vehicle are provided herein. The foldable substrate comprises a first wall that has a first outer surface. The first wall comprises a first natural fiber-resin impregnated blank section that is overmolded with a first quantity of polymeric resin that forms at least a portion of the first outer surface. A second wall has a second outer surface. The second wall comprises a second natural fiber-resin impregnated blank section that forms at least a portion of the second outer surface. The first and second walls are hingedly connected together.

Abstract: A process for the production of a liquid detergent composition comprising the steps of: providing an aqueous solution free of perfumes through a main stream; providing a second solution comprising at least one perfume and at least one material selected from the group consisting of surfactants, organic solvents, carboxylic acids, and mixtures thereof, through a first side stream, wherein the ratio of said perfume to said at least one material is from 0.05 to 0.5; providing at least a third solution comprising at least one aesthetic component and/or finishing component, through at least one second side stream; and mixing the solutions to provide the liquid detergent composition. The second solution is mixed with the aqueous solution at a first confluence region of said main and first side streams and the at least third solution is mixed therewith at, at least one, second confluence region, said at least one second confluence region being downstream said first confluence region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method the assessing the controllability of a vehicle by a driver in a risky or problematic situation. In order to carry out assessment of the controllability of a vehicle early, the following steps are provided: a. modelling the drive train and the movement dynamics of the vehicle, b. modelling situation conditions and environmental conditions, c. selecting a risky or problematic situation, d. selecting a driver capability type, e. modelling the driver's reaction as a function of the selected driver capability type. f. simulating the dynamic vehicle behaviour in the longitudinal and transverse directions of a planned trajectory on the basis of the drive train model and movement dynamics model for the predefined situation and environmental conditions when the selected risky or problematic situation occurs, g.

Abstract: The subject matter disclosed herein provides methods for detecting and mitigating fraudulent transactions conducted over a network. This method can access one or more data values associated with an online transaction between a first party and a second party. The first party can initiate the online transaction. The data values can characterize an identity of the first party and the second party. A score representing a likelihood that the online transaction is fraudulent can be generated. The generation of the score can be based on one or more models for detecting fraud using the data values. The score can be compared to one or more threshold scores. The online transaction can be authorized or rejected based on the comparing. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of checking the authenticity of an executable process including at least one section. The method includes, when an initial thread of the executable process is created in a suspended state, mapping from storage a copy of the executable process into a spare memory area, where it will not be executed. The method also includes comparing a header of a first section of the executable process with a header of a first section of the copy. The method further includes terminating the executable process when the header of the first section of the executable process and the header of the first section of the copy are not identical.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates efficient and effective utilization of unified virtual addresses across multiple components. In one embodiment, the presented new approach or solution uses Operating System (OS) allocation on the central processing unit (CPU) combined with graphics processing unit (GPU) driver mappings to provide a unified virtual address (VA) across both GPU and CPU. The new approach helps ensure that a GPU VA pointer does not collide with a CPU pointer provided by OS CPU allocation (e.g., like one returned by “malloc” C runtime API, etc.).
