Publication number: 20220063162Abstract: A separating system for separating or separating items formed in a cavity of an injection molding system to separate them from material in the mold's runner, has a clamp plate for anchoring the separator system. The clamp plate secures a separating plate that supports a first separating pin, either directly or via an actuator. The first separating pin includes a base, a body having a cross-sectional portion, a neck having a cross-sectional portion, and a wedge-shaped tip. The system includes a support plate that supports a cavity plate, where the cavity plate has a first cavity and a first gate that fluidly couples the first cavity to a first runner channel. The separating first separating pin can be articulated to separate a molded material at a boundary between the first gate and the first cavity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2020Publication date: March 3, 2022Applicant: National Polymer International Corporation, Inc.

Patent number: 7194314Abstract: A cochlear implant wherein the return path of the electrode array is located to increase current flow through the modiolus. The return electrode is placed at various locations outside the cochlea, and into the modiolus itself. In addition, the electrode array includes an inflatable membrane that is inflated to anchor the array in position in the cochlea with the electrode contacts pressed into contact with the modiolar wall and allowing the membrane to seal with the surrounding tissue of the cochlea, increasing the longitudinal resistance along the cochlear implant electrode, decreasing shunting of the injected current via scala tympani. In experiments that were conducted the current along the modiolus was determined to be, on average, 2.4 times larger with the return electrode in the modiolus than in an extracochlear location.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2003Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Northwestern UniversityInventors: Claus-Peter Richter, Steven Ho

Patent number: 7024509Abstract: A system and method avoids passive release of interrupts in a computer system. The computer system includes a plurality of processors, a plurality of input/output (I/O) devices each capable of issuing interrupts, and an I/O bridge interfacing between the I/O devices and the processors. Interrupts, such as level sensitive interrupts (LSIs), asserted by an I/O device coupled to a specific port of the I/O bridge are sent to a processor for servicing by an interrupt controller, which also sets an interrupt pending flag. Upon dispatching the respective interrupt service routine, the processor generates two ordered messages. The first ordered message is sent to the I/O device that triggered the interrupt, informing it that the interrupt has been serviced. The second ordered message directs the interrupt controller to clear the respective interrupt pending flag. Both messages are sent, in order, to the particular I/O bridge port to which the subject I/O device is coupled.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2001Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Samuel H.

Patent number: 6832282Abstract: A system and method avoids “livelock” and “starvation” among two or more input/output (I/O) devices of a symmetrical multiprocessor (SMP) computer system competing for the same data. The SMP computer system includes a plurality of interconnected processors, one or more memories that are shared by the processors, and a plurality of I/O bridges to which the I/O devices are coupled. A cache coherency protocol is executed the I/O bridges, which requires the I/O bridges to obtain “exclusive” (not shared) ownership of all data stored by the bridges. In response to a request for data currently stored by an I/O bridge, the bridge first copies at least a portion of that data to a non-coherent buffer before invalidating the data. The bridge then takes the largest amount of the data saved in its non-coherent buffer that its knows to be coherent, and releases only that known coherent amount to the I/O device, and then discards all of the saved data.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2003Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Samuel H.

Patent number: 6701387Abstract: A method and apparatus for accommodating the speed requirements of a DMA read request from PCI protocol I/O devices attached via a DMA to a multiprocessor system mesh. A bridge between the device controller and the mesh is described which buffers the data from the memory in cache lines from which the data is delivered finally to the I/O device. The system is adaptive in that the number of cache lines required in past reads are remembered and used to determine if the number of cache lines is reduced or increased.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2000Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Roger Pannel, David W.
