Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments that communicate label information for documents between two enterprise computer systems. The two computer systems operate asynchronous from each other, and have limited available resources for use in buffering information passing between them. To that end, traditional API architectures that utilize method calls and return parameters do not operate well in this environment, as a first computer systems resources can become exhausted if a second computer system is able to generate data faster than the first computer system can consume it. The problem is exacerbated if an error is experienced when processing the consumed data, especially if there are no resources available to store the data until the error can be cleared. To solve this problem, the disclosed embodiments provide an ability for a consumer to request that data previously delivered to it be delivered again by the producer, in some embodiments, after a specified time delay.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for interleaving textures. In the disclosed techniques, multiple textures that would otherwise be accessed separately are interleaved into a single, interleaved texture that can be used to access the multiple textures together. The interleaved texture can include alternating blocks from the multiple textures. The interleaved texture can be generated when the multiple textures are being loaded into memory. Further, the interleaved texture can be accessed using multiple texture headers that are associated with different textures in the interleaved texture. Each of texture headers includes a stride indicating the distance between two blocks from a same texture in the interleaved texture.

Abstract: The disclosed method may include configuring one or more brakes based on a braking-related attribute expected at a geographic location being traversed by a personal mobility vehicle. By configuring the application of brakes of a personal mobility vehicle based on terrain, environmental conditions, and other geographic features, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels based at least in part on the location of the personal mobility vehicle. By configuring brake engagement based on a combination of controls and map data, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a system for managing cache memory in a computing system. The system includes a sectored cache memory that provides a mechanism for sharing sectors in a cache line among multiple cache line allocations. Traditionally, different cache line allocations are assigned to different cache lines in the cache memory. Further, cache line allocations may not use all of the sectors of the cache line, leading to low utilization of the cache memory. With the present techniques, multiple cache lines share the same cache line, leading to improved cache memory utilization relative to prior techniques. Further, sectors of cache allocations can be assigned to reduce data bank conflicts when accessing cache memory. Reducing such data bank conflicts can result in improved memory access performance, even when cache lines are shared with multiple allocations.

Abstract: Personal mobility vehicles, their various components, methods and systems for controlling, using, tracking, and/or interacting with personal mobility vehicles, and methods and systems for integrating personal mobility vehicles within dynamic transportation networks so that a personal mobility vehicle (PMV) can be used in combination with a vehicle of a transportation provider to efficiently complete a transportation request are discussed. For example, a PMV may be used in combination with a lane-constrained vehicle to improve travel time between two locations in situations where the time it may take for a lane-constrained vehicle to reach the starting location may be affected by traffic congestion at the starting location. The PMV may transport a transportation requestor from a starting location to an intermediate location away from the traffic congestion to then transfer to a lane-constrained vehicle for the remainder of the trip.

When the piston is in the upper position, the valve cartridge limits water flow through the primary water outlet and allows water flow through the bypass water outlet, and when the piston is in the lower position, the valve cartridge allows water flow through the primary water outlet and limits water flow through the bypass water outlet.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for optical coherence metrology or tomography across an extended area of an eye with improved registration. At least two optical coherence tomograms are acquired, with each tomogram containing data from regions of an anterior surface of the eye that are at least partially overlapping, and data from one or more deeper structures such as the retina or the anterior or posterior lens surfaces. The tomograms are then processed to register the data from the overlapping portions of the anterior surface regions, thereby registering the data from the deeper structures. In certain embodiments the reference arm of the apparatus comprises a compound reflector having at least two axially separated reflective surfaces for applying differential delays to different portions of the reference beam. The depth of field of the apparatus is thereby extended to enable measurement of eye length.
