Title: Validating virtual address translation
Inventor: RAVI L SAHITA
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2015-05-27
Abstract: A page miss handler receives a guest virtual address associated with a memory access operation by a virtual machine managed by a virtual machine manager. A tentative guest physical address is received corresponding to the guest virtual address and in view of an address translation data structure it is determined whether an expected guest physical address corresponds to the tentative guest virtual address. If a validation operation is determined to be required an exit may be signalled. This may be employed in a processing core executing a first application, typically a virtual machine manager, and a second application, typically a virtual machine, associated, respectively, with first and second privilege levels. An address validation component validates the mapping of a first address, typically a guest virtual address, to a second address, typically a guest physical address. Validation occurs using an address translation data structure, preferably a Restricted Linear Check (RLC) table, maintained by the first application. The first and second addresses are defined, respectively, in first and second address spaces of the second application.

Title: Vehicle seat change assist
Inventor: OSWALDAO PEREZ BARRERA
IPC: B60W40/08
Filed: 2018-04-24
Abstract: A method/system comprises a process 500 which includes at block 510 a computer receiving data describing autonomous vehicle operations from input devices, e.g. sensors. At block 515 the computer receives a seat-change request, e.g. via user interface 20. At block 520 the computer determines a threshold amount of seat-change time. Next, at a block 525 the computer determines whether one or more seat-change conditions are met based on the data describing the vehicle operations. Upon determining that seat-change conditions are met, process 500 moves to block 545 and the computer actuates an output device to indicate that the seat-change request has been granted, e.g. by instructing a light (38, fig 2) to provide green light. If the seat-change condition is not met, the process 550 moves to block 530 and the computer determines whether the seat-change conditions can be met by slowing the vehicle. If no, the process 500 moves to block 540 where the computer actuates the output device to indicate that the seat-change request has been denied, e.g. by instructing the light to provide a red light.

Title: Modified base detection with nanopore sequencing
Inventor: STEPHEN TURNER
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2013-06-10
Abstract: Methods, compositions, and systems are provided for the characterization of modified nucleic acids. Nanopore sequencing is performed using a processive enzyme such as a helicase, exonuclease or polymerase to control the rate of translocation of a single strand of a nucleic acid through the pore. The presence and identity of a modified base can be determined by monitoring the kinetics of translocation through the pore. When the enzyme interacts with a modified base that is not within the nanopore, its effect on, for example, speed of translocation can be detected and used to characterize and identify the modified base. The method can be used to sequence hemi-genomic DNA, comprising a genomic strand and a nascent strand.
