Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a technique to decompose 64-bit per-lane virtual addresses to access a plurality of data elements on behalf of a multi-lane parallel processing execution resource of a graphics or compute accelerator. The 64-bit per-lane addresses are decomposed into a base address and a plurality of per-lane offsets for transmission to memory access circuitry. The memory access circuitry then combines the base address and the per-lane offsets to reconstruct the per-lane addresses.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable the offload of address calculations required to access a data element within an array of data elements from primary compute resources of a graphics processor to the memory access circuitry of the graphics processor. The memory access circuitry is configured to receive a message to access a data element of an array of data elements in the memory, the message to include an index of the data element in the array of data elements, calculate a byte address for the data element based in part on the index of the data element in the array of data elements, and submit a memory access request to the memory to access the data element at the byte address.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides fibers and filaments formed from polyamide polymers polymerized with dual termination of the amino and carboxyl end-groups, referred to herein as dual-terminated polyamides, or dual terminated PA. In one embodiment, the dual-terminated polyamide is considered “highly terminated” and is useful in producing stain resistant textiles such as carpet fibers, for example.

Abstract: A system senses, analyzes, and reports a collision event experienced by a person or object. A sensor module records angular velocities over time and a processor analyzes the sensed velocities, calculates properties of angular velocities, such as jerk and jolt, compares these properties with threshold values selected to correlate to predicted severities of injury to the person or object, and transmits information regarding these properties to a communication device controlled by user-designated persons. Group tracking and communication devices ar used by monitors to manage multiple persons equipped with sensor modules. The sensor modules and group tracking and communication devices are designed to be portable, attachable, and detachable so that they can be attached to different types of gear used by persons engaging in different activities.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method surrounding the sensing, recording and communicating information pertaining to users providing a portable identification and diagnostic reporting system configured with data storage, sensors, processing, and transmission means to notify intended recipients of identification, sensed, collected and prewritten user data. Communication of such data, stored on local devices and/or cloud based storage, and executed through means such as UHF, nearfield and other wireless communication protocols. The apparatus, system and method are intended for use in scenarios including but not limited to social, medical and emergency applications.

Abstract: Polyamide base resins with improved crystallization dynamics for the production of reinforced polyamide compositions having improved surface, shrink, warpage and mechanical properties such as toughness. The polyamide base resins are copolymers of polyamide 6 and polyamide 66, formed of ratios that are tailored to reduce the crystallization rate and final crystallization extent when used in melt processing to produce glass filled articles. The copolymers demonstrate improved polyamide morphology dynamics that in turn impart improved final properties in reinforced molded articles, such as improved surface finish, improved toughness/impact resistance, reduced warpage, and more symmetrical shrinkage properties.

Abstract: A survival backpack has an airbag and emergency notification system. Upon triggering of the airbag, the system is activated and configured to connect with a third party communication device either immediately or upon expiration of a countdown sequence. The system may emit an audible alert to prompt the user to cancel the connection if rescue is not needed. When connected, the system may transmit a message or other information to another which may help in recovering or assisting the user of the backpack. The system may provide location information, which allows the third party communication device to dispatch emergency responders, and may enable two-way communication with local or remote rescuers.

In some embodiments, the stoves are plancha-style stoves comprise cast iron planchas that are more durable and efficient that existing stoves. The plancha-style stoves, described herein may comprise a combustion chamber comprising an inlet, a stack chamber comprising an inlet and an outlet; a gas path chamber, comprising a ceiling and a floor, wherein the ceiling is defined by a removable plancha cooking surface having a substantially planar upper surface and a lower surface; a chimney box; and a chimney. In many embodiments, the stack chamber defines a cross-sectional area that is larger than the cross-sectional area of the inlet to the combustion chamber to prevent smoke from escaping the combustion chamber through the inlet.
