Abstract: A first die has a port to couple the first die to a second die over a die-to-die interconnect. The port includes circuitry to implement a physical layer of the die-to-die interconnect, send first protocol identification data over the physical layer to identify a first protocol in a plurality of protocols, send first data over the interconnect to the second die, wherein the first data comprise data of the first protocol, send second protocol identification data over the physical layer to identify a different second protocol in the plurality of protocols, and send second data over the interconnect to the second die, wherein the second data comprise flits of the second protocol.

Abstract: A foam glass aggregate slicing and reduction machine and system which rapidly, effectively, and economically reduces large pieces of aggregate to required sizes with minimal powdery waste. The machine comprises a foam glass aggregate collection chute having a bottom outlet section for discharging foam glass aggregate onto a holdbar located adjacent to the outlet section. A rotating roller supports a plurality of rotating roller knives which slices large pieces of foam glass aggregate to reduce the aggregate to fragments, with minimal powdery waste. A foam glass aggregate guide member directs foam glass aggregate towards the rotating roller. A foam glass aggregate filtering bar having rows of intervening spaces is located below the guide member and adjacent to the rotating roller.

Abstract: Isostatic moulding apparatus comprises a fixed frame assembly comprising an upper bolster, a lower bolster and connecting rods with a clamp cylinder in the lower bolster; a pressure vessel with removable end members is mounted on a support which is pivotably mounted on one of the connecting rods so that the pressure vessel can be swung into the fixed frame assembly to overlie the piston of the clamp cylinder. The pressure vessel and the clamp cylinder are connected to a common source of hydraulic pressure fluid so that application of pressure simultaneously clamps the end members and effects moulding of a compact within the pressure vessel. After the pressure vessel is swung out of the fixed frame, a cylinder is extended to move a trolley down cam tracks to lower the bottom end member of the pressure vessel so that the compact can be removed therefrom.

Abstract: A drive wheel for rotating a workpiece while the latter is in contact with a grinding wheel during a grinding operation. The drive wheel is in the form of a pneumatic tire with a tire valve which permits easy variation of the internal pressure in the drive wheel. Thus the relative softness or hardness of the drive wheel can be changed in accordance with requirements attendant to the grinding operation. The drive wheel is motor-driven and a speed control device operates to slow the motor drive shaft when high torque loads are applied to the drive wheel by the workpiece, during heavy cutting of the workpiece by the grinding wheel. Thus the workpiece rotates slowly during heavy cutting and faster during light cutting.
