TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an open platform architecture and methods for shared resource access management, where a redirection module in kernel space receives requests for access to resources from applications in user space.
Abstract: An open platform architecture and methods for shared resource access management are provided. A redirection module in kernel space receives requests for access to resources from applications in user space. The redirection module routes signals representative of the received requests to a device driver interface in user space. Components of the device driver interface include resource management modules and device drivers that correspond to available resources. The resource management modules generate queries to the device drivers regarding availability of the requested resources. Upon receipt of resource status information from the device drivers, components of the device driver interface generate schedules for granting access to the requested resources. Further, the device driver interface components control access to the resources in accordance with the generated schedules including issuing responses to the requesting applications and the device drivers of the requested resources.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a safety control system for vehicles, which includes, a communication device having at least one of an input accessible from within the vehicle and an output communicated within a vehicle, and a controller communicated with the sensor and the communication device to selectively suppress one of said input and said output in response to a sensed parameter of a vehicle's condition being outside of a threshold.
Abstract: According to one aspect of one embodiment of the present invention, a safety control system for vehicles, includes, a communication device having at least one of an input accessible from within the vehicle and an output communicated within the vehicle, at least one sensor operable to sense at least one condition related to vehicle operation, and a controller communicated with the sensor and the communication device to selectively suppress at least one of said input and said output in response to a sensed parameter of said at least one condition being outside of a threshold. When an input is suppressed, the driver is prevented from accessing or inputting information into the communication device. When an output is suppressed, communication between the device and the driver of a vehicle is suppressed to, among other things, avoid distracting the driver during certain driving situations or conditions relating to the driver, vehicle and/or environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed system providing scalable methodology for real-time control of server pools and data centers is described, the method comprises steps of: providing a resource policy specifying allocation of resources amongst the plurality of programs; determining resources available at the majority of machines; detecting requests for resources by each of the programs running on each plurality of machines.
Abstract: A distributed system providing scalable methodology for real-time control of server pools and data centers is described. In one embodiment, a method is described for regulating resource usage by a plurality of programs running on a plurality of machines, the method comprises steps of: providing a resource policy specifying allocation of resources amongst the plurality of programs; determining resources available at the plurality of machines; detecting requests for resources by each of the plurality of programs running on each of the plurality of machines; periodically exchanging resource information amongst the plurality of machines, the resource information including requests for resources and resource availability at each of the plurality of machines; and at each of the plurality of machines, allocating resources to each program based upon the resource policy and the resource information.

TL;DR: The Wireless Integrated Network Sensor Next Generation (WINS NG) as mentioned in this paper nodes provide distributed network and Internet access to sensors, controls, and processors that are deeply embedded in equipment, facilities, and the environment.
Abstract: The Wireless Integrated Network Sensor Next Generation (WINS NG) nodes provide distributed network and Internet access to sensors, controls, and processors that are deeply embedded in equipment, facilities, and the environment. The WINS NG network is a new monitoring and control capability for applications in transportation, manufacturing, health care, environmental monitoring, and safety and security. The WINS NG nodes combine microsensor technology, low power distributed signal processing, low power computation, and low power, low cost wireless and/or wired networking capability in a compact system. The WINS NG networks provide sensing, local control, remote reconfigurability, and embedded intelligent systems in structures, materials, and environments.

TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for maintaining functionality of software includes initially providing the vehicle with software resident on computer-readable medium to enable it to operate and interact with components thereof and updating the vehicle software by receiving a wireless transmission from one or more remote locations.
Abstract: System and method for maintaining functionality of software includes initially providing the vehicle with software resident on computer-readable medium to enable it to operate and interact with components thereof and updating the vehicle software by receiving a wireless transmission from one or more remote locations, e.g., a location maintained by a dealer or manufacturer of the vehicle. The software may be diagnostic software for a diagnostic module which diagnoses operability of components of the vehicle. Different remote locations may be responsible for different portions of the vehicle-resident software and may therefore provide different software upgrades, based on need.

TL;DR: In this paper, a data storage and retrieval device and method is described, which includes at least one magnetic storage medium configured to store target data and at least a re-configurable logic device comprising an FPGA coupled to the at least 1 magnetic medium and configured to read a continuous stream of target data therefrom, having been configured with a template or as desired to fit the type of search and data being searched.
Abstract: A data storage and retrieval device and method is disclosed. The device includes at least one magnetic storage medium configured to store target data and at least one re-configurable logic device comprising an FPGA coupled to the at least one magnetic storage medium and configured to read a continuous stream of target data therefrom, having been configured with a template or as otherwise desired to fit the type of search and data being searched. The re-configurable logic device is configured to receive at least one search inquiry in the form of a data key and to determine a match between the data key and the target data as it is being read from the at least one magnetic storage medium. This device and method can perform a variety of searches on the target data including without limitation exact and approximate match searches, sequence match searches, image match searches and data reduction searches. This device and method may be provided as part of a stand-alone computer system, embodied in a network attached storage device, or can otherwise be provided as part of a computer LAN or WAN. In addition to performing search and data reduction operations, this device may also be used to perform a variety of other processing operations including encryption, decryption, compression, decompression, and combinations thereof.
