Publication number: 20200012331Abstract: This application relates to techniques that adjust the sleep states of a computing device based on user proximity detection procedures. The technique includes detecting a first pattern, using a first subset of sensors of one or more sensors coupled to the computing device, to determine if the object is proximate to the computing device. Provided the first pattern is not indicative of the object being proximate to the computing device, the technique detects a second pattern, using a second subset of sensors of the one or more sensors, to determine if the object is proximate to the computing device. Furthermore, provided either the first pattern or the second pattern is indicative of the object being proximate to the computing device and provided a first portion of a computer system within the computing device is operating within a low-power sleep state, the technique causes the first portion to enter into a high-power sleep state.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Joshua P. de CESARE, Jonathan J.

Publication number: 20200012332Abstract: A memory controller component of a memory system stores memory access requests within a transaction queue until serviced so that, over time, the transaction queue alternates between occupied and empty states. The memory controller transitions the memory system to a low power mode in response to detecting the transaction queue is has remained in the empty state for a predetermined time. In the transition to the low power mode, the memory controller disables oscillation of one or more timing signals required to time data signaling operations within synchronous communication circuits of one or more attached memory devices and also disables one or more power consuming circuits within the synchronous communication circuits of the one or more memory devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Frederick A. Ware, Robert E. Palmer, John W. Poulton, Andrew M. Fuller

Publication number: 20200012333Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor core has one or more execution units, a first memory array having a first protection circuit to provide soft error protection to the first memory array, and a control circuit. A power controller coupled to the core may include a protection control circuit, in response to an update to an operating voltage to be provided to the core, to cause the core to disable the first protection circuit. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Alexander Gendler, Arkady Bramnik, Lev Makovsky

Publication number: 20200012334Abstract: A power management application running in a Chassis Management Controller reads utilization values of each server node dynamically in real time and assigns a respective priority to each server node based on its utilization value. The range of the utilization values is divided into terciles and the corresponding priorities assigned to the terciles are as HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW. The priorities are uses as guidelines for allocating power from a manageable power budget to each server node. A chassis power budget specified by an administrator includes the manageable power and unmanageable power used, for example, to power utilities, such as fans. Care is taken that a HIGH priority server node always receives its maximum power consumption rate, with the LOW priority server node receiving no less than its maximum power consumption rate. The MEDIUM priority server node receives at least the mean between its maximum and minimum power consumption rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Vikram Bodireddy, Sriranjan Bose

Publication number: 20200012336Abstract: A virtual/augmented reality-based system for guiding patients through rehabilitation exercises and providing real time feedback is disclosed. In various embodiments the system, methods, and computer program products relate to guiding and measuring neck and shoulder motion, specifically protraction and retraction motions. A virtual reality environment includes a fixed object having a guidance feature and a moveable object having a complementary shape to the guidance features. Whether the fixed object is in a complimentary orientation to the movable object is determined. When the fixed object is in a complimentary orientation with the movable shape, an indication is presented to the user to perform a motion. A plurality of sensors determines a plurality of measurements relating to the motion of the user. Whether the fixed object is in a complementary orientation with the movable object is determined based on the plurality of measurements.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Inventors: Eran Orr, Miki Levy
