Title: Transparently increasing power savings in a power management environment
Inventor: NAYAR NARESH
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2011-06-08
Abstract: A mechanism is provided for transparently consolidating resources of logical partitions. Responsive to the existence of the non-folded resource on an originating resource chip, the virtualization mechanism determines whether there is a destination resource chip to either exchange operations of the non-folded resource with a folded resource on the destination chip or migrate operations of the non- folded resource to a non-folded resource on the destination chip. Responsive to the existence of the folded resource on the destination resource chip, the virtualization mechanism transparently exchanges the operations of the non- folded resource from the originating resource chip to the folded resource on the destination resource chip, where the folded resource remains folded on the originating resource chip after the exchange. Responsive to the absence of another non-folded resource on the originating resource chip, the vitalization mechanism places the originating resource chip into a deeper power saving mode.

Title: Controller for vehicle for accurate speed estimation
Inventor: BLYTH MICHAEL
IPC: B60K7/00
Filed: 2013-06-10
Abstract: A motor vehicle 100 is provided with control means operable to measure a speed of travel of the vehicle 100 over a surface. The measurement is responsive to a measured speed of a driven wheel. When it is required to verify measured vehicle speed the control means automatically reduces an amount of torque applied to at least one of a plurality of driven wheels111-114 and measures a speed of rotation of the wheel whilst the applied torque is reduced; and updates a stored speed value corresponding to a speed of the vehicle 100 over the ground. The control system determines following a reduction in torque applied to the wheel 111-114 that the vehicle speed is consistent with one or more speed measurements made by alternative means, e.g. accelerometer. A controller 140 comprises the control means and a method of operation is disclosed which is particularly suited to vehicles having four electric wheel motors 111M-114M. This provides improved accuracy of speed estimation during acceleration when slip may occur.
