Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a kinematic coupling between an actuator and an element controlled by the latter includes a first sensor to detect the operative movement of the actuator. A second sensor is designed to detect the actual movement of the controlled element. A computer unit, based on the operative movement of the actuator, determines an anticipated movement of the controlled element and compares this anticipated movement with the actual movement of the controlled element. An error message is emitted when a value of the deviation between the anticipated movement and the actual movement exceeds a predefined threshold value.

Abstract: A method for operating translation look-aside buffers, TLBs, in a multiprocessor system. A purge request is received for purging one or more entries in the TLB. When the thread doesn't require access to the entries to be purged the execution of the purge request at the TLB may start. When an address translation request is rejected due to the TLB purge, a suspension time window may be set. During the suspension time window, the execution of the purge is suspended and address translation requests of the thread are executed. After the suspension window is ended the purge execution may be resumed. When the thread requires access to the entries to be purged, it may be blocked for preventing the thread sending address translation requests to the TLB and upon ending the purge request execution, the thread may be unblocked and the address translation requests may be executed.

Abstract: A method for displaying a pointer in an instrument panel is described. The method comprises retrieving a current instrument status of an instrument of the instrument panel that is to be displayed, determining a pointer form on the basis of the current instrument status, retrieving of the determined pointer form from a texture atlas, and rendering the pointer in the instrument panel with the retrieved pointer form. There is further described a device for displaying an instrument panel, which device comprises a display module configured to display at least one instrument panel having at least one pointer instrument, and a controller configured to carry out the method using the display module. A vehicle having such a device is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fine machining a cylindrical workpiece surface of a workpiece blank by means of a fine machining tool. Said method comprising the following steps: generating a relative rotational movement between a tool and a workpiece blank about a machining axis which is concentric to a cylindrical workpiece surface of the workpiece blank; generating a relative feed rate between the tool and the workpiece blank along the machining axis; detecting an actual value of a process variable which is a function of a relative force between the tool and the workpiece blank and which can assume a plurality of process variable values; and continuously controlling the process variable by changing the relative feed rate in such a way that the more the relative feed rate changes, the more the actual value of the process variable deviates from a desired value of the process variable.

Abstract: A method for operating translation look-aside buffers, TLBs, in a multiprocessor system. A purge request is received for purging one or more entries in the TLB. When the thread doesn't require access to the entries to be purged the execution of the purge request at the TLB may start. When an address translation request is rejected due to the TLB purge, a suspension time window may be set. During the suspension time window, the execution of the purge is suspended and address translation requests of the thread are executed. After the suspension window is ended the purge execution may be resumed. When the thread requires access to the entries to be purged, it may be blocked for preventing the thread sending address translation requests to the TLB and upon ending the purge request execution, the thread may be unblocked and the address translation requests may be executed.

Abstract: A method for identifying occupant-specific settings for a vehicle comprises detecting a vehicle occupant; collecting biometric occupant data of the detected vehicle occupant; assembling a descriptor based on at least part of the collected occupant data; storing the descriptor in a database; and updating a cluster of descriptors in the database based on the assembled descriptor, wherein descriptors grouped in the cluster are close to each other, and wherein the cluster corresponds to the detected vehicle occupant. Based on the cluster and assembled descriptor can be assigned to the cluster, and vehicle setting data can be calculated that has been stored in association with the cluster. The vehicle setting data corresponds to occupant-specific settings for the vehicle. A vehicle comprises a system capable of performing such method.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes associating an initial use order with a plurality of target sets of a translation lookaside buffer (TLB), where the initial use order indicates an order of use of the plurality of target sets. The plurality of target sets are associated with an initial least-recently-used (LRU) state based on the initial use order. A new use order for the plurality of target sets is generated. Generating the new use order includes moving a first target set to a least-recently-used position, responsive to a purge of the first target set. The LRU state of the plurality of target sets is updated based on the new use order, responsive to the purge of the first target set. The first target set is identified as eligible for replacement according to an LRU replacement policy of the TLB, based at least in part on the purge of the first target set.
