Abstract: Systems and methods relate to a bus adapter for a storage network. The bus adaptor includes a context memory comprising a first storage for uncacheable exchange resource indicators (XRI) and a second storage for cacheable XRI. The bus adapter also includes a host backing store unit configured to provide access to the different tier memories present locally or externally in the host memory extension using several caching sub-units and with the capability of an optional pinning operation for the cacheable XRI based upon at least one of input/output phase, first in line up to a limit, a region of a virtual context address associated with the cacheable XRI indicators, a protocol associated with the cacheable XRI, a size of a transaction, or work queue information.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes receiving video content comprising a first data portion comprising parameters that control a visual appearance of frames of video content presented by a content-presentation device. The content-presentation device is communicatively coupled to a light unit that is (i) present in a viewing area of the content-presentation device and (ii) configured to provide ambient light in the viewing area. The method also includes extracting, from the received video content, a second data portion, separate from the first data portion, specifying one or more light control parameters that a controller associated with the light unit is configured to interpret as instructions for controlling the light unit. The method also includes transmitting the extracted second data portion to the controller to facilitate the controller controlling the light unit according to the specified one or more light control parameters.

Abstract: Processes and systems for making recycle content hydrocarbons, including olefins, from recycled waste material. Recycle waste material may be pyrolyzed to form recycle content pyrolysis oil composition (r-pyoil), at least a portion of which may then be cracked to form a recycle content olefin composition (r-olefin). In some cases, the pyrolysis and cracking may be carried out in different sections of the same furnace, or in different furnaces in the same cracker facility. Pyrolysis conducted in a furnace may or may not require retrofitting a furnace previously used to crack alkanes to form olefins.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon cracker stream is combined with recycle content pyrolysis oil to form a combined cracker stream and the combined cracker stream is cracked in a cracker furnace to provide an olefin-containing effluent. The r-pyoil can be fed to the cracker feed. More specifically the-pyoil is present in said feedstock in an amount of not more than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the feedstock.

Abstract: A composition having a recycle content value is obtained by reacting a recycle content feedstock to make a recycle content alpha olefin or by deducting from a recycle inventory a recycle content value applied to an alpha olefin composition. At least a portion of the recycle content value in the feedstock or in an allotment obtained by an alpha olefin manufacturer has its origin in recycled waste and/or pyrolysis of recycled waste and/or in thermal steam cracking of recycle content pyoil.

Abstract: Systems and methods of communicating in a network use rate limiting. Rate limiting units (either receive side or transmit side) can perform rate limiting in response to a) a maximum number of bytes that can be solicited over a first period of time is exceeded, b) a maximum number of bytes that are outstanding over a second period of time is exceeded; or c) a maximum number of commands that are outstanding over a period of time is exceeded as part of CMD_RXRL. The CMD_RXRL can have three components (a) max bytes, b) outstanding bytes, c) outstanding commands. TXRL contains the component of max bytes or maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted over a third period of time to match the speed of a receive link, or any node or link through the network/fabric.

Abstract: Radio Frequency (RF) amplifier design with RFIC suffers gain variations from gain variations due to wafer process variations, temperature changes, and supply voltage changes. Three methods are proposed to achieve constant amplifier gain, either through on-chip wafer calibration, or self-calibration. Through automatic adjustment of amplifier bias current, the proposed methods maintain constant amplifier gain over process, temperature, supply voltage variations. Under the proposed Method 1, a constant transconductance Gm with enhanced gain accuracy is maintained via wafer calibration. Under the proposed Method 2, a constant transconductance Gm is maintained by time-domain averaging through different transistors. Under the proposed Method 3, a constant Gm*R or RF gain is maintained considering the impedance of a matching network of the RF amplifier.

Abstract: A number of command processing devices, architectures, and methods are described. One example of a command processing device is disclosed to include a classification engine configured to classify input commands, a sequencer in communication with the classification engine, one or more thread managers in communication with the sequencer, and one or more sub-processing engines in communication with each of the one or more thread managers. The sequencer may control staging of work across multiple threads and processing elements within threads. Each of the one or more thread managers are configured to delegate work to different sub-processing engines. Each of the one or more sub-processing engines are configured to perform sub-tasks in connection with completing processing of an input command received at the classification engine based on particular sub-tasks assigned to the one or more sub-processing engines by the one or more thread managers.

Abstract: A networking adaptor and method of transferring data are depicted and described herein. One example of the networking adaptor is provided with a host interface and a network interface. The network interface may include a transmit portion and a receive portion. The transmit portion may include a first set of data paths and the receive portion may include a second set of data paths. Both the first set of data paths and second set of data paths are configurable to be aggregated or de-aggregated to support a single port operation that represents a combined bandwidth of the data paths in the first set of data paths or the second set of data paths.
