  • Publication number: 20210236222
    Abstract: A method for positioning an input device of a workstation for use by a seated user in controlling a robotic surgery system is disclosed. The input device is operable to generate input signals representing a position of a hand controller moveable within an input device workspace. The method involves determining a vertical position of the hand controller within the input device workspace for an input signal received from the input device while a seated user's hand is grasping the hand controller in an initialization position defined with respect to the user's body. The method also involves determining a user ergonomic height of the input device based on the vertical position of the hand controller at the initialization position, and causing a platform of the workstation on which the input device is mounted to move vertically with respect to a base of the workstation to position the input device at the ergonomic height.

  • Publication number: 20210183215
    Abstract: A system providing various improved perceptions techniques for haptic feedback above interactive surfaces that require no contact with either tools, attachments or the surface itself is described. A range of receptors in a perceiving member which is part of the human body is identified to create substantially uniformly perceivable feedback. A vibration frequency that is in the range of the receptors in the perceiving member is chosen and dynamically altered to create substantially uniformly perceivable feedback throughout the receiving member.

  • Publication number: 20210179179
    Abstract: A side-impact crash structure may be positioned proximate an end of a vehicle to reduce impact forces imparted to an occupant during a side collision. The side-impact crash structure may include energy absorbers positioned on lateral sides of the vehicle between the passenger compartment and a longitudinal end of the vehicle. The energy absorbers may be configured to absorb impact forces over a limited ride-down distance (the distance over which the deceleration occurs) to prevent damage to both the occupants and one or more components or systems of the vehicle. The energy absorbers can be configured to deform along an oblique axis of the vehicle under a compressive force. The side-impact crash structure may include one or more load spreaders disposed between the energy absorbers that disperse the impact force to other portions of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20210173655
    Abstract: Providing express memory obsolescence in processor-based devices is disclosed. In this regard, an instruction set architecture (ISA) of a processor-based device provides a memory load instruction indicating a final memory load operation from a memory address (i.e., after the memory load operation represented by the memory load instruction is performed, the value at the memory address need not be maintained). Upon receiving the memory load instruction by an execution pipeline of the processor-based device, an entry corresponding to the memory address of the memory load instruction is located in an intermediate memory external to the system memory of the processor-based device, and used to perform the final memory load operation. After the final memory load operation is performed using the entry, a value of an obsolete indicator for the entry is set to indicate that the entry can be reused prior to its contents being written to the system memory.

  • Publication number: 20210165658
    Abstract: Obsoleting values stored in registers in a processor based on processing obsolescent register-encoded instructions is disclosed. The processor is configured to support execution of read and/or write instructions that include obsolescence encoding indicating that one or more of its source and/or target register operands are to be obsoleted by the processor. A register encoded as obsolescent means the data value stored in such register will not be used by subsequent instructions in an instruction stream, and thus does not need to be retained. Thus, such register can be set as being in an obsolescent state so that the data value stored in such register can be ignored to improve performance. As one example, data values for registers having an obsolescent state can be ignored and thus not stored in a saved context for a process being switched out, thus conserving memory and improving processing time for a process switch.

  • Publication number: 20210133262
    Abstract: A method of purchasing tires includes providing a web site stored on a web server accessible from a computing device. The web site displays a page for a consumer, including instructions for locating a placard containing tire information, a request to take a photo of the placard and a request to upload the photo. Once the photo is uploaded, it is stored on the web server. An optical character recognition program is in communication with the web server and is used to analyze the photo. Characters in the photo corresponding to tire size information on the placard are identified. The identified tire size information is correlated in a database to a listing of pre-stored tire information to verify whether the identified tire size information is appropriate for the vehicle. A message is returned to the web site from the web server including the results of the identification and correlation.
