  • COOLING SYSTEMS FOR COOLING ELECTRIC MACHINES WITHIN ELECTRIFIED VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20200328656
    Abstract: This disclosure details cooling systems for cooling electric components, such as electric machines, within electrified vehicles. Exemplary cooling systems may include a spray bar positioned relative to a rear face of a stator of the electric machine. In some embodiments, the spray bar may be positioned axially between the rear face of the stator and a torque converter housing. One or more nozzles of the spray bar are configured to direct a coolant between adjacent back irons of the stator, onto end windings of the stator, or both. Actively cooling the stator allows the electric machine to operate at higher torques and speeds, thereby increasing performance.

  • Technology For Providing Memory Atomicity With Low Overhead
    Publication number: 20200310798
    Abstract: An integrated circuit with support for memory atomicity comprises a processor core. The processor core comprises a data cache unit (DCU), a store buffer (SB), a retirement unit, and memory atomicity facilities. The memory atomicity facilities are configured, when engaged, to (a) add an SB entry to the SB, in response to the processor core executing a store instruction that is part of an atomic region of code; (b) cause the SB entry to become senior, in response to the retirement unit retiring the store instruction; and (c) cause the SB entry to become walk enabled, in response to the retirement unit committing a transaction associated with the atomic region. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Securely-attaching removable lid for cup
    Publication number: 20200307869
    Abstract: A lid for secure engagement with a disposable plastic cup to prevent spilling and allow for vigorous mixing of enclosed contents. The lid includes a guidance skirt, an orientation securing layer, and a secure engagement layer. The guidance skirt provides guidance of the rim of the cup into the orientation securing layer. The orientation securing layer helps stabilize the orientation of the lid during transition into the secure engagement layer. Furthermore, the lid has good flight characteristics when tossed as a flying disk because the profile of its cross-section roughly approximates the shape of an airfoil, and multiple substantially vertical portions near the perimeter of the lid augment the moment of inertia.

  • Transitioning between interface modes based on stored state information
    Patent number: 10776136
    Abstract: A technique is described herein for managing the manner in which a computing device transitions from one user interface (UI) mode to another. The technique stores state information that describes prior states of UI features that have appeared in previous UI presentations, with respect to different UI modes. When transitioning from a first UI presentation (associated with a first UI mode) to a second UI presentation (associated with a second UI mode), the technique leverages the state information to restore one or more aspects of a prior-encountered state associated with the second UI mode.
