Abstract: Technologies are generally described to coordinate group members that may be at distinct locations and optionally moving in distinct directions to meet at a coordinated meeting point and/or to move in a common direction. A coordinated meeting point may optimize a parameter of interest for each of the group members or group as a whole. Example parameters may include distance, time, fuel usage, remaining resource levels, a network coverage, and group members' patience, mood, and/or tiredness factors. In some examples, a controller may determine the meeting point that minimizes a parameter of interest for the group members or whole group, where the meeting point may be stationary or dynamic. The controller may map the calculated meeting point to a geographical location, and may determine an optimal or preferred route from each group member to the meeting point to gather the group members together optimizing for a particular parameter of interest.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for providing a wireless local area network. In some examples, a method performed under control of a first device may include connecting to an access point that is configured to provide a wireless local area network, transmitting, to a second device, a request of connecting to the first device, receiving, from the second device, a response of connecting to the first device, configuring an ad-hoc network group including the first device and the second device based, at least in part, on a network load of the first device and a network load of the second device, and providing a wireless local area network to the second device included in the ad-hoc network group.

Abstract: In some examples, a distributed file system is described. The distributed file system may include multiple data nodes and a director unit. The multiple data nodes may each include one or more data blocks. The director unit may include multiple master nodes configured in a peer-to-peer distributed architecture and operably coupled to the multiple data nodes. Each of the master nodes may be configured to receive a task related to managing data with respect to the distributed file system; to manage a distribution of the task among one or more of the plurality of master nodes; and to communicate a task status and a status of at least a part of the distributed file system to each of the other master nodes.

Abstract: In an SM-MIMO wireless communication system, multiple transmitting antennae may be utilized to transmit wireless signals that carry signal sequences. A selection of the multiple transmitting antennae may be configured to represent a portion of the signal sequences so that channel state information (CSI) is not required at the receiving end of the SM-MIMO system.

Abstract: Techniques are generally described for cache management in a processor with a cache. In response to receiving a bulk memory modification instruction, data blocks of the cache associated with the bulk memory modification instruction may be identified. A cache coherence state of the identified data blocks may also be identified. The updated cache coherence state may be indicative of a zero value of the data blocks and the cache coherence state of the identified data blocks may be updated without modification to a cache data array.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for coordination of structured light-based image detectors. In some examples, one or more structured light sources may be configured to project sets of points onto the scene. The sets of points may be arranged into disjoint sets of geometrical shapes such as lines, where each geometrical shape includes a subset of the points projected by an illumination source. A relative position and or a color of the points in each geometrical shape may encode an identification code with which each illumination source may be identified. Thus, even when the point clouds projected by each of the illumination sources overlap, the geometrical shapes may still be detected, and thereby a corresponding illumination source may be identified. A depth map may then be estimated based on stereo vision principles or depth-from-focus principles by one or more image detectors.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described that relate to managing and/or generating sensor data. An example method may include receiving output data generated by a pressure sensor. The method may also include determining surface data, indicative of a surface type associated with a force applied to a surface of the pressure sensor, based on the output data. Furthermore, the method may include adjusting the output data based on the surface data to facilitate generating adjusted output data indicative of an adjusted pressure value generated by the pressure sensor.

Abstract: Technologies are generally provided for methods and circuitry to rank a large number of cells in a timeframe of about one sense cycle. In some examples, an architecture may be implemented to rank memory cells such as volatile memories, non-volatile memories, and other types of data storage devices, where there may not be an equivalent to threshold voltage. In other examples, an arbitrary group of circuits, such as in neural networks where there may not be an equivalent control gate to set the timing resolution, may be ranked. Relative sense timing may be used to rank the cells having different current carrying abilities. A ramped gate voltage may be used to control the timing resolution and to reduce contention between close separate cells. Digital logic may be used to latch and/or record the rank information.
