Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed that may provide graphics controllers with increased thermal granularity. The graphics controller may comprise a display memory, at least one display engine coupled to the display memory, and at least one execution unit coupled to the display memory, where the at least one execution unit may begin an idle period that varies based upon a thermal event.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a graphics processing with thermal management capabilities. The graphics processing unit may include a display controller, a microprocessing engine coupled to the display controller, and a clock circuit coupled to the display controller and the microprocessing engine. The clock circuit may further include a raw clock signal coupled to the display controller, a divider coupled to the raw clock signal, and a multiplexer coupled to the divider. The divider may generate a divided version of the raw clock signal, which may be coupled to the multiplexer along with the raw clock signal. The multiplexer may selectively provide the raw clock signal and/or the divided version of the clock signal to the microprocessing engine such that the microprocessing engine may receive a timing signal that is independent of operations of the graphics processing unit and result in fewer glitches.

Abstract: The invention relates to a Jacquard machine, comprising 2 sets of knifes moving up and down in opposition, which each, at each of their extremities, are taken up in separate knife grids (4a, 4b) being driven by a cinematic drive chain (30), and each, at one of their extremities (20a, 20b), being guided into a straight motion by means of a “Watt's linkage” rod system, the height of lift of each of these extremities (20a, 20b) of the knife grids (4a, 4b) being adjustable, and the knife grids (4a, 4b) each at their first extremities (20a, 20b) being linked with at least one first driving lever (2, 2a, 2b, 10) by means of a first linking rod (3a, 3b), and at their second extremities (21a, 21b) being linked with at least a second driving lever (2, 10) by means of a second linking rod (14a, 14b), wherein per knife grid (4a, 4b) one or several elements (1, 101, 1a, 1b, 3a, 3b) of the Watt's linkage rod system are part of the cinematic drive chain (30), and the amplitude of the motion of the said extremity (20a, 20b)

Abstract: A device for modulating a first rotational motion of an input shaft (2) to a second, different from the first, rotational motion of an output shaft (3)in textile machines has a fixed complementary cam (1) provided with at least two cam profiles (1 a, 1b). At least one cam follower (5) is linked to the input and the output shafts (2, 3) and is provided with at least two contact rollers (6a, 6b), each following a different cam profile (1a, 1b), because of which the cam followers (5)are performing a rocking motion. The cam profiles (1a, 1b)arc internal cam profiles.

Abstract: A Jacquard machine, having at least two knife grids (5, 6)moving up and down in opposition on either side of the Jacquard machine, the Jacquard machine having a single-sided drive (1) for driving at least one driving lever (2,3) which is provided for driving the motion of the knife grids (5, 6) on either side of the Jacquard machine, and one traversing rocking shaft (24) being provided to transmit the motion of the driving lever (2 and 3 respectively) to the knife grids (5,6) of one of the sides of the Jacquard machine.

Abstract: The invention concerns certain crystalline solvates and hydrates of the compound of the Formula (I) which is known inter alia by way of the code number ZD1839. In particular, the invention concerns a first solvate that occurs in the presence of methanol which is designated as Form 2 ZD1839 MeOH solvate, a second solvate that occurs in the presence of dimethyl sulphoxide which is designated as Form 3 ZD1839 DMSO solvate and a trihydrate that occurs in the presence of water which is designated Form 5 ZD1839 trihydrate. The invention further concerns processes for the preparation of these solvates and the trihydrate and for their conversion back to the compound ZD1839, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in the manufacture of medicaments for use the production of an anti-proliferative effect in a warm-blooded animal such as man.

Abstract: A glass window pane breaking device comprises a suction pad for attaching the device to the window, in use, a striker rod with a breaker tip, a trigger pawl engagable with the striker rod and a remotely operable trigger which is biased normally to prevent movement of the trigger pawl and thus to retain its engagement with the striker rod when this is held against the force of charged energy storage means urging the breaker tip in a direction to break the window pane, in use. A switch is also provided to ‘arm’ the device or place it in a ‘safe’ mode.

Abstract: A hot oil/fat fire extinguisher, comprising a frame which supports a smothering material in a horizontal plane and a handle which allows the safe and effective application of the smothering material to a container of burning fat/oil. When not in use it may be stored in a holder which can be wall mounted. In the event of a container of fat/cooking oil igniting, the extinguisher can be removed from the holder by using the handle and presents a smothering material of a size and shape suitable for covering the container of burning fat/oil. This is placed over the container in the manner prescribed in the instructions of use, depriving the burning surface of air and achieving extinction.

Abstract: Foamed films of blends of low density polythene and a crystalline polyolefine which have been subjected to surface treatment.
