  • Publication number: 20240126552
    Abstract: Processor-guided execution of offloaded instructions using fixed function operations is disclosed. Instructions designated for remote execution by a target device are received by a processor. Each instruction includes, as an operand, a target register in the target device. The target register may be an architected virtual register. For each of the plurality of instructions, the processor transmits an offload request in the order that the instructions are received. The offload request includes the instruction designated for remote execution. The target device may be, for example, a processing-in-memory device or an accelerator coupled to a memory.

  • Patent number: 5749482
    Abstract: A support beam for a storage rack has a tubular profile, which defines a ledge opening upwardly and inwardly, and which defines a generally flat, indicia-receiving surface facing outwardly and either downwardly or upwardly at an angle from about 20.degree. to about 70.degree. relative to a vertical plane. Alternatively, the tubular profile may define two such surfaces defining an obtuse angle relative to each other, namely an upper surface at an angle from about 20.degree. to about 45.degree. relative thereto and a lower surface at an angle from about 45.degree. to about 70.degree. relative thereto, or a generally arcuate, indicia-receiving surface having a suitable measurement. The indicia-receiving surface enables a person who is standing, or who is sitting on a lift truck, to have a generally perpendicular line of sight to such surface. The support beam may also be used in combination with a properly positioned fire extinguishing device to extinguish a fire in a supported load.

  • Patent number: 4444401
    Abstract: A seal member of elastomeric material which is shaped to fit sealably within a recess of a flow diverter body. On the inside of the diverter body, a seal is effected against a slidable cylindrical valve sleeve. On the outside of the diverter body, a seal is effected against a permanent housing. The seal is constructed with an outer section having a generally circular opening, an inner section having an oblong opening and a connecting section between the outer and inner section having a bore therein connecting the circular opening with the oblong opening. A rigid support member embedded in the elastomeric material provides rigidity and strength to the seal member.
