Title: A vehicle having a system and method of scheduling driver interface tasks
Inventor: FILEV DIMITAR PETROV
IPC: B60W50/08
Filed: 2010-07-29
Abstract: A vehicle's dynamic handling state, driver inputs to the vehicle, etc. may be examined to determine one or more measures of driver workload. Driver interface tasks may then be delayed and/or prevented from executing based on the driver workload so as to not increase the driver workload. Alternatively, driver interface tasks may be schedule for execution based on the driver workload and caused to execute according to the schedule, for example, to minimize the impact the executing driver interface tasks have on driver workload. For example, driver interface tasks may include forwarding in-coming calls to voice mail and/or generating an audio output and/or generating a visual output and/or generating a tactile output. Some of the interface tasks are delayed or prevented from being executed based on a maximum value of generated parameters and/or if the driver workload fall within a predetermined range of values.

Filed: 2014-02-17
Abstract: An integrated circuit 100 such as a system on chip (SoC) may indicate critical battery status without powering-on a substantial portions of the circuit including the host processing cores. The SoC includes a power control unit 150 that generates an indicator to indicate that the battery charge of battery 190 has reached or decreased below a critical battery charge level. In response to the indicator, microcontroller 135, sends a request to power management unit 150 to power up static memory 134 and display unit 160 and configures one or more configuration registers with configuration values. Controller 135 also causes critical battery status data to be stored in static memory 134. Display controller 165, in response to the configuration values, retrieves such data from the static memory to display critical battery status data in a visual form (e.g. a battery symbol) on display screen (280). The other portions of the SoC including dynamic memory, system agent, media processors, and memory controller hubs may be powered-down while critical battery status is displayed on the screen. One or more blocks may be powered on based on identifiers of the blocks. A special boot sequence may be initiated by controller 135.

Title: Dynamically adjusted threshold for population of secondary cache
Inventor: GUPTA LOKESH MOHAN
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2012-10-19
Abstract: The population of data to be inserted into secondary data storage cache is controlled by determining a heat metric of candidate data; adjusting a heat metric threshold; rejecting candidate data provided to the secondary data storage cache whose heat metric is less than the threshold; and admitting candidate data whose heat metric is equal to or greater than the heat metric threshold. The adjustment of the heat metric threshold is determined by comparing a reference metric related to hits of data most recently inserted into the secondary data storage cache, to a reference metric related to hits of data most recently evicted from the secondary data storage cache; if the most recently inserted reference metric is greater than the most recently evicted reference metric, decrementing the threshold; and if the most recently inserted reference metric is less than the most recently evicted reference metric, incrementing the threshold.

Title: Signal processing systems and methods
Inventor: ASHWORTH IAN
IPC: G01R23/16
Filed: 2014-05-23
Abstract: A signal processor comprises first 704 and second 706 discrete Fourier transform (DFT) modules, associated first 708 and second 710 detection modules which compare the power of components in the DFTs with power thresholds, a frequency correction module 712, a frequency difference module 714 and an output module 716. The first DFT module applies a first DFT of a first frame length and the second DFT module applies a DFT of a second, shorter frame length. The frequency correction module determines a correction to the frequency detected by the second DFT using the change in phase between frames. By comparing the difference in frequency detected by the first and second DFTs against a frequency threshold, the signal processor is able to distinguish short pulses which coincide with long pulses having a small difference in frequency. The carrier frequencies of the long and short pulses may also be determined.
