  • Patent number: 11977766
    Abstract: A hierarchical network enables access for a stacked memory system including or more memory dies that each include multiple memory tiles. The processor die includes multiple processing tiles that are stacked with the one or more memory die. The memory tiles that are vertically aligned with a processing tile are directly coupled to the processing tile and comprise the local memory block for the processing tile. The hierarchical network provides access paths for each processing tile to access the processing tile's local memory block, the local memory block coupled to a different processing tile within the same processing die, memory tiles in a different die stack, and memory tiles in a different device. The ratio of memory bandwidth (byte) to floating-point operation (B:F) may improve 50× for accessing the local memory block compared with conventional memory. Additionally, the energy consumed to transfer each bit may be reduced by 10×.

  • Publication number: 20240139372
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for depositing polymer and/or other layers onto surfaces of, for example, implantable medical devices. In some embodiments, the polymer and/or other coating layers are deposited via plasma polymerization deposition. In some embodiments, primer layers are deposited via plasma polymerization deposition. A coating layer can be formed over a primer layer. The deposited layers can be bioresorbable and/or bioabsorbable.

  • Publication number: 20240140160
    Abstract: Currently, some work vehicles and/or off-road vehicles come from the manufacturer lacking tow hooks—or even a strong point on the rear bumper assembly and/or the chassis to install a tow hook. A non-limiting example of this sort of vehicle is the Toyota Tundra. It is highly desirable for such a vehicle to be able to be towed by another vehicle and/or have connection points for recovery from stuck in a natural hazard like mud or water. A novel and improved sway bar bushing bracket with a tow hook design is disclosed. In particular, the manufacturer-installed sway bar bushing bracket may be replaced with a reinforced sway bar bushing bracket with an integrated tow hook that may serve as a more robust sway bar bushing bracket, as well as providing a strong connection point with a tow hook.

  • Publication number: 20240125733
    Abstract: A sensor component includes a sensor including a sensor surface and a reaction site in cooperation with the sensor and exposing the sensor surface. The reaction site including a reaction site surface. A surface agent is bound to the reaction site surface or the sensor surface. The surface agent includes a surface active functional group reactive with Bronsted base or Lewis acid functionality on the reaction site surface or the sensor surface and including distal functionality that does not have a donor electron pair.

  • Patent number: 11953953
    Abstract: An avionics unit assembly for an aircraft can include an avionics unit (e.g., an underwater locator device, “ULD”), and a battery to power the avionics unit. The avionics unit assembly can further include a housing that encases the avionics unit and the battery. The housing includes a vent port for exhausting an emission from the housing during a failure of the avionics unit. The avionics unit assembly can further include one or more of a suppressor that filters the emission, a shield element that is resistant to chemical and/or thermal effects of the emission, and a bracket for mounting the avionics unit to a surface. A method integrating the avionics unit assembly onto a forward aircraft bulkhead at a mount location under an aircraft radome and for manufacturing the avionics unit, and an aircraft including the avionics unit are also described.

  • Patent number: 11937733
    Abstract: A hollow cylinder (102) contains hot water for making a hot beverage, for example, coffee. The cylinder (102) has an inner wall (102a) extending along an axis (104) from an open upper end (102b) to an open lower end (102c) of the cylinder. A perforated closure (106) is releasably securable to the cylinder (102) to hold the coffee at the lower end (102c). A cap (110) carries a plunger (112) configured and arranged for sealing engagement with the inner wall (102a) of the cylinder (102). In use, the cap (110) is rotatable on the cylinder (102) about the axis (104) and is connected to the cylinder (102) by a helical formation. Rotation of the cap (110) on the cylinder (102) drives the plunger (112) towards the lower end (102c) of the cylinder (102) to press the hot water through the perforated closure (106) and the coffee held thereon and then into the vessel (118).

  • Publication number: 20230340315
    Abstract: Ether amines, or salts thereof, are proposed for use herein as lubricity additives for drilling fluids. Methods for wellbore operations and for improving lubricity include adding an ether amine to the drilling fluid. The ether amine is represented by the general formula: where R1 is represented by the general formula: where R5 is a straight chain, branched, or cyclic aliphatic radical with about 3 to 20 carbon atoms; X is 0 to 10; R2 is a straight chain, branched, or cyclic aliphatic radical with about 3 to 20 carbon atoms; and R3 and R4 are each one of H or a straight chain, branched, or cyclic aliphatic radical.

  • Publication number: 20230340786
    Abstract: Described herein is a coupling device, associated parts and a method of use thereof. In one aspect, a coupling device is described comprising a sleeve with an inner surface that encloses at least part of at least one elongated element to be coupled; and at least one deformation means fitted with interference between, and causing local deformation about, at least part of the inner surface of the sleeve and/or an adjacent outer surface of the at least one elongated element. A deformation means insertion tool, a coupling sleeve, a deformation means, and a method of coupling at least one element are also described. The described coupling device, associated parts and a method of use offer the ability to couple together different elements in a strong and/or ductile manner, coupling being tuneable as needed to suit the preferred application. The coupling described may overcome art issues associated with bulky size of coupling, in particular, radial protrusion.
