  • Patent number: 11932457
    Abstract: A container system may include a vessel with a cavity for storing foodstuff and/or small items, and a cover for sealing the contents of the vessel. The cover may be reconfigurable from a first configuration to be transversely slid along a channel formed on an upper edge of the vessel and a second configuration to seal the vessel when positioned over the cavity. The cover may include a lid and an actuator to reconfigure the cover. The actuator may include an actuator plate and a plurality of struts arranged between the actuator plate and the lid. When the lid is positioned over the cavity, the actuator plate may be urged in a vertically upward direction relative to the vessel by the struts, to seal the lid against the vessel.

  • Patent number: 11934834
    Abstract: Instruction scheduling in a processor using operation source parent tracking. A source parent is a producer instruction whose execution generates a produced value consumed by a consumer instruction. The processor is configured to track identifying operation source parent information for instructions processed in a pipeline and providing such operation source parent information to a scheduling circuit along with the associated consumer instruction. The scheduling circuit is configured to perform instruction scheduling using operation source parent tracking on received instruction(s) to be scheduled for execution. The processor is configured to compare sources and destinations for each of the instructions to be scheduled based on the operation source parent information to determine instructions ready for scheduling for execution.

  • Patent number: 11934833
    Abstract: A streaming engine employed in a digital signal processor specifies a fixed read only data stream. Once fetched the data stream is stored in two head registers for presentation to functional units in the fixed order. Data use by the functional unit is preferably controlled using the input operand fields of the corresponding instruction. A first read only operand coding supplies data from the first head register. A first read/advance operand coding supplies data from the first head register and also advances the stream to the next sequential data elements. Corresponding second read only operand coding and second read/advance operand coding operate similarly with the second head register. A third read only operand coding supplies double width data from both head registers.

  • Patent number: 11934304
    Abstract: Circuitry comprises memory access circuitry to control memory access by mapping virtual memory addresses in a virtual memory address space to physical memory addresses in a physical memory address space, the memory access circuitry being configured to provide a sparse mapping in which a mapped subset of the virtual memory address space is mapped to physical memory while an unmapped subset of the virtual memory address space is unmapped, the memory access circuitry being configured to discard write operations to virtual memory addresses in the unmapped subset of the virtual memory address space and processing circuitry to execute program code defining a processing operation to generate processed data and to store the processed data in a memory region of the virtual memory address space applicable to that processing operation; detector circuitry to detect whether the memory region is entirely within the unmapped subset of the virtual memory address space.

  • Patent number: 11922049
    Abstract: A request is received to perform a multi-plane operation for data residing on a first plane and a second plane of a memory device. A first set of trim values is obtained from a first set of registers of the memory device. The first set of trim values corresponds to a first voltage shift for the data at the first plane. A second set of trim values is obtained from a second set of registers of the memory device. The second set of trim values corresponds to a second voltage shift for the data at the second set of trim values for the data at the second plane. The multi-plane operation is performed using at least the first set of trim values for the data at the first plane and at least the second set of trim values for the data at the second plane.

  • Patent number: 11920259
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a washable flame retardant viscose fabric. The viscose fabric includes a flame retardant viscose fiber; and a method of preparing the viscose fiber includes the following steps: impregnation, squeezing, ageing, yellowing, addition before spinning, spinning, bundling, drafting, cutting off, first washing, desulfurization, second washing, pickling, third washing, application of oil bath, drying, and packaging. Before spinning, an aqueous dispersion of flame retardant, an aqueous dispersion of hyperbranched nanocellulose and a dispersant are uniformly added to a spinning glue using a pre-spinning injection system. During the production of the flame retardant viscose used, the aqueous dispersion of flame retardant, the aqueous dispersion of hyperbranched nanocellulose and the dispersant are introduced into the spinning glue by the pre-spinning injection system before spinning, so that the flame retardant has a high residual rate in the subsequent coagulation bath.
