Abstract: Disclosed is an escapement mechanism (1) for a timepiece, designed to cooperate with an oscillator arranged to carry out oscillations, said mechanism (1) comprising:—a count wheel (7) arranged for step-wise forward rotation depending on the oscillations of the oscillator;—an impulse wheel (11) designed to be kinematically linked to a power source, said impulse wheel (11) being arranged to be periodically blocked and released under the control of the count wheel (7) and to supply impulses to the oscillator, characterized in that:—when said escapement mechanism (1) is operating, the count wheel (7) is continuously subjected to a torque;—and the count wheel (7) is arranged to rotate forward by one half-step of its toothing for every vibration of the oscillator.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a neural processor circuit with scalable architecture for instantiating one or more neural networks. The neural processor circuit includes a data buffer coupled to a memory external to the neural processor circuit, and a plurality of neural engine circuits. To execute tasks that instantiate the neural networks, each neural engine circuit generates output data using input data and kernel coefficients. A neural processor circuit may include multiple neural engine circuits that are selectively activated or deactivated according to configuration data of the tasks. Furthermore, an electronic device may include multiple neural processor circuits that are selectively activated or deactivated to execute the tasks.

Abstract: Aqueous cathodic electrocoat compositions with improved edge protection and methods for preparing such electrocoat compositions are described herein. In an exemplary embodiment, an electrocoat composition includes water; a crosslinkable resin comprising a binder of an epoxy-amine adduct and a crosslinking agent; a neutralizing agent for neutralizing the epoxy amine adduct, wherein the neutralizing agent has a pKa value of greater than 0; and a pigment paste. The pigment paste may comprise silica, barium sulfate or silica and barium sulfate.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a tire layer (e.g., tire tread or carcass layer) having a rubber composition including a pyrazolone-based compound in combination with reinforcing filler material and optionally a processing aid, and tires using the same, that provides desirable tire performance properties, such as improvements in tear strength without negatively impacting stiffness or hysteresis. In one embodiment, the tire layer includes a rubber composition having an elastomer (e.g., natural or isoprene rubber), a pyrazolone-based compound, reinforcing filler selected from carbon black only, carbon black/silica blends only, or graphene, functionalized graphene, carbon nanotubes, functionalized carbon nanotubes or mixtures thereof further optionally with carbon black, and an optional processing aid, such as a metal glycerolate, in desirable amounts to provide enhanced tear strength without negatively impacting stiffness or hysteresis.

Abstract: A chloroprene-unsaturated nitrile copolymer composition containing 100 parts by mass of a chloroprene-unsaturated nitrile copolymer having 3 to 20% by mass of a structural unit derived from an unsaturated nitrile monomer, and 0.05 to 2.0 parts by mass of a xanthogen compound.

Abstract: An anti-vibration rubber composition contains: a polymer comprising component (A); and components (B) to (E). The mixing ratio of the components (B) and (C) is in a range of (B)/(C)=99/1 to 96/4 in weight ratio. As a result, it becomes possible to achieve a low dynamic magnification and to achieve both durability and weather resistance at a high level. (A) diene rubber; (B) silica; (C) carbon black; (D) silane coupling agent; (E) dihydrazide compound represented by general formula (1). [in general formula (1), R represents an alkylene group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, a cycloalkylene group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, or a phenylene group].
