  • Patent number: 11987287
    Abstract: A method for autonomously parking a vehicle-trailer system is provided. The method includes receiving sensor system data from a sensor system supported by the vehicle. The sensor system data includes images of surroundings along a driving path of the vehicle-trailer system. The method includes determining a local map based on the sensor system data. The local map includes surroundings along the driving path. The method includes receiving a user selection of an image location within the images. The image location representing a position in the local map associated with a selected location within the surroundings. The method includes determining a parking path from a current location of the vehicle-trailer system to the position based on the local map and instructing a drive system to execute an autonomous parking behavior causing the vehicle-trailer system to autonomously drive along the parking path and autonomously park in the selected location.

  • Patent number: 11954792
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing real-time video rendering with performance guaranteed power management are disclosed. A system includes at least a software driver, a power management unit, and a plurality of processing elements for performing rendering tasks. The system receives inputs which correspond to rendering tasks which need to be performed. The software driver monitors the inputs that are received and the number of rendering tasks to which they correspond. The software driver also monitors the amount of time remaining until the next video synchronization signal. The software driver determines which performance setting will minimize power consumption while still allowing enough time to finish the rendering tasks for the current frame before the next video synchronization signal. Then, the software driver causes the power management unit to provide this performance setting to the plurality of processing elements as they perform the rendering tasks for the current frame.

  • Patent number: 5500611
    Abstract: Voltage pullup or pulldown devices of general purpose input/output pads of integrated circuit chips are controlled by signals derived from a core of the chip and which indicate (1) if the pad is to be enabled to output a value and (2) the value of the signal to be outputted. Such devices are controlled to supply different current levels to the input/output terminals as a function of whether the chip is operating in "sleep" and interrupt modes. The device of each pad is disabled when signals or commands are supplied via the pad from the chip to circuitry external to the chip and vice versa.
