  • Publication number: 20120061326
    Abstract: Lipophilic, oil-absorbing and oil-adsorbing polymeric compositions are used to capture oily substances and hydrophobic materials from the surface of various aqueous media. The resultant compound floats in water, can be easily removed therefrom and can be processed in conventional refinery processes to recover the oil and the remaining components.

  • Publication number: 20110259847
    Abstract: A bottle packaging includes a groove on the neck of a bottle with the groove spaced longitudinally from a shoulder of the bottle a distance greater than or equal to a width of the groove, and upper and lower portions of the neck may have outer transverse cross-sectional dimensions that are substantially equal to one another. An upper circumferential sidewall of the groove may be chamfered, while a lower circumferential sidewall may be concave. The bottle may be combined with an adapter such that when the adapter is releasably connected to the bottle, a lowermost rim of the adapter is spaced longitudinally from an upper reach of the groove. The adapter may include a detent on an inner surface thereof adapted to removably seat in the groove to releasably connect the adapter to the bottle. A closure member may include at least one of a detent and a sealing member removably seated in the groove.

  • Publication number: 20110054714
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for implementing a scheme to configure thermal management control for a memory device resident on a memory module for a computing platform. A method is also disclosed for implementing the configured thermal management control. In a run-time environment for a computing platform a temperature is obtained from a thermal sensor monitoring the memory module. The memory module is in a given memory module with thermal sensor configuration that includes the memory device. An approximation of a temperature for the memory device is made based on thermal information associated with the given configuration of the memory module and the obtained temperature. The configured thermal management control for the memory device is implemented based on the approximated temperature. Other implementations and examples are also described in this disclosure.

  • Patent number: 7626884
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for generating a mode register set (MRS) decoded signal to identify presence of a MRS command in the register device of a registered DIMM memory, delaying the MRS decoded signal for a predetermined delay and disabling address inversion using the delayed MRS decoded signal, switching from a first command timing frequency to a second command timing frequency for a predetermined number of clock cycles, performing a MRS command to a mode register of the DRAM device, and switching back to the first command timing frequency.

  • Patent number: 7414426
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for time-multiplexed dynamic on-die termination. In an embodiment, an integrated circuit receives, during a first clock, an on-die termination (ODT) activation signal at its ODT pin. The integrated circuit also receives, during a second clock, an ODT value selection signal on its ODT pin. In an embodiment, the integrated circuit prevents a reset of the state of the ODT activation signal for a predetermined period of time to enable the multiplexing of signals on the ODT pin. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7372293
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, and apparatuses for polarity driven on-die termination. In some embodiments, an integrated circuit includes an input/output (I/O) circuit to receive a command and an on-die termination (ODT) pin to receive one or more ODT signals. The integrated circuit may further include control logic coupled to the ODT pin, the control logic to enable, at least in part, a multiplexing of an ODT activation signal and an ODT value selection signal on the ODT pin, the control logic further to control a length of termination based, at least in part, on the command. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
