Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a memory to store a work queue including work queue entry slots, a processing device to write work queue entries to the work queue in a consecutive and cyclic manner, and a network device including a network interface to share packet over a network, and packet processing circuitry to read the work queue entries from the work queue in a consecutive and cyclic manner, the work queue entries indicating work to be performed associated with the packets, dequeue respective ones of the work queue entries read from the work queue responsively to reading the respective work queue entries from the work queue, add the work queue entries to an execution database used to track execution of the work queue entries, and execute the work queue entries in the execution database.

Abstract: A device and method for cleaving a sample includes: creating an indentation on a top surface of the sample by applying a downward force along a vertical axis, the axis perpendicular to the top surface of the sample; providing a breaking pin located under the sample to touch the bottom surface of the sample at a position that is directly opposite from the indentation; and, a cleaving bar for applying a downward force on the sample by providing a left side and right side breaker pin wherein the downward force comprises a left-side downward force extended through the left-side breaker pin and right-side downward force through the right side breaker pin. Further, the pins that provide the left-side and right-side downward force are disposed on a breaker bar and arranged to be on opposite sides of a vertical axis that extends through the indentation on the top surface.

Abstract: A locking device integrated in a control knob, a control device, a valve and the like, configured to rotate with respect to a seating therebeneath and having a latching device that includes a latch plate configured to slidingly reciprocate within a housing inside the control knob. The latch plate has a tongue appended thereto and protruding therebeneath for releasably engaging a slot in the seating, such that when the latch plate is in the outer position, the tongue engages the slot and latches the control knob preventing its rotation with respect to the seating, and when the latch plate is in the inner position, the tongue is disengaged from the slot and is unlatched from the control knob, allowing its rotation with respect to the seating.
