  • Patent number: 10642336
    Abstract: A processor adjusts frequencies of one or more clock signals in response to a voltage droop at the processor. The processor generates at least one clock signal by generating a plurality of base clock signals, each of the base clock signals having a common frequency but a different phase. The processor also generates a plurality of enable signals, wherein each enable signal governs whether a corresponding one of the base clock signals is used to generate the clock signal. The enable signals therefore determine the frequency of the clock signal. In response to detecting a voltage droop, the processor adjusts the enable signals used to generate the clock signal, thereby reducing the frequency of the clock signal droop.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4987635
    Abstract: A trowel is provided with a curved edge conformingly shaped to fit the interior dimensions of a can so as to permit a complete removal of the material contained within the can. Additionally, a top edge of the trowel is angled to permit the removal of material retained beneath the interior rim of the container.
