Abstract: Systems and methods for improving the degree to which programs utilize processor resources during execution. A number of different versions of a program are received, as is a set of performance metrics describing desired performance of the program versions. The programs are then analyzed to determine the amount of processor resources used on a particular processor when the programs are executed to meet the performance metrics. At runtime, a program version that meets its performance metrics without exceeding the available processor resources is selected for execution by the processor. Program versions may be versions written to utilize processors in differing manner, such as by adjusting the numerical precision at which operations are performed or stored. If no program version meets its performance metrics without exceeding the available processor resources, the performance metrics may be reduced and program selection may be based on these reduced performance metrics.

Abstract: A chain link includes a base area, confined by four sides, and first to third link portions respectively on first to third sides. The first and second link portions respectively receive first and second connection elements for connecting the chain link to first and second adjacent chain links, and respectively and relatively define first and second rotational axes of adjacent first and second chain links. The third link portion receives a third connection element for connecting the chain link to a tool receptacle and defines a third rotational axis of a rotary motion of the tool receptacle in relation to the chain link. The first and second axes define a first plane, the first plane is parallel to the chain link base area, and the third axis lies outside the first plane. A tool magazine for a machine tool includes a link chain from chain links for the tool transport.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a dental composition with optimized viscosity and/or rheological behavior. The present invention provides a dental composition comprising: (d) at least one carboxylic acid functional polymer, (e) at least one acid derivative with stronger acidity than the carboxylic acid functional polymer (a), substituted with at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated group, (f) 0.1 to 10 weight % of water, wherein the carboxylic acid functional polymer (a) and the acid derivative (b) are present at least in an amount effective that the dental composition exhibit shear thinning and/or a viscosity from 1.0 to 20 Pa·s, when measured with a plate/plate geometry and at a shear rate of 0.5 to 1 s?1. It further relates to the use of this dental composition and to a method for preparing a dental adhesive.
