Title: Adaptable precision triggering mechanism

Abstract

A precision triggering mechanism for engaging a portion of a device and a method of using the same are provided. The mechanism comprises an electric linear motor, a force limiter, a force sensor, an engagement slide, and a controller. The electric linear motor includes a drive rod, a driver that applies a force to the drive rod to move the drive rod linearly, and a sensor for detecting a linear position of the drive rod. The force limiter is connected to the drive rod and is configured to absorb an amount of axial force asserted by the drive rod above a maximum amount. The force sensor is connected to the force limiter and is configured to detect an amount of force applied by the force limiter on the force sensor. The engagement slide includes an end extending from the force sensor for engaging the portion of the device. The controller is configured to receive a signal representative of the linear position of the drive rod from the sensor of the electric linear motor; receive from the force sensor a signal representative of the amount of force applied by the force limiter; and direct the driver of the electric linear motormore » « less

Dynamically adapting mechanism for translation lookaside buffer shootdowns

Patent Basu, Arkaprava; Greathouse, Joseph L.

An operating system (OS) of a processing system having a plurality of processor cores determines a cost associated with different mechanisms for performing a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) shootdown in response to, for example, a virtual address being remapped to a new physical address, and selects a TLB shootdown mechanism to purge outdated or invalid address translations from the TLB based on the determined cost. In some embodiments, the OS selects an inter-processor interrupt (IPI) as the TLB shootdown mechanism if the cost associated with sending an IPI is less than a threshold cost. In some embodiments, the OS comparesmore » « less
