  • Publication number: 20240111444
    Abstract: Examples include techniques to reduce power consumption for a distributed computational model mapped onto a multi-processing node system. Examples are described of processing nodes relaying indicator information to enable clock gate circuitry to determine whether or not to gate a clock to stall consuming compute circuitry based on availability of data to consume. Examples are also described of processing nodes relaying indicator information to enable clock gate circuitry to determine whether or not to gate a clock to stall producing compute circuitry based on available buffer capacity at a consuming compute circuitry.

  • Publication number: 20150040329
    Abstract: A dock leveler includes an inflatable bellows to which pressurized air is selectively coupled. The inflatable bellows is arranged to raise and lower a distal portion of a hinged ramp in response to the degree to which the inflatable bellows is inflated with compressed air. A relief valve is coupled to the inflatable bellows, where the relief valve is arranged to selectively release compressed air from the inflatable bellows in response to an operator action that is (for example) intended to lower the ramp. An exhaust manifold is arranged to receive the selectively released air from the relief valve and to directionally exhaust a focused stream of compressed air underneath the hinged ramp so that the compressed air is directed to move debris towards the distal portion of the hinged ramp to facilitate cleaning of the loading dock pit that lies underneath the hinged ramp.

  • Publication number: 20150013083
    Abstract: A dock leveler includes an inflatable bellows to which pressurized air is selectively coupled. The inflatable bellows is arranged to raise and lower a distal portion of a loading dock ramp in response to the degree to which the inflatable bellows is inflated with compressed air. A control valve is coupled to the inflatable bellows, where the control valve is arranged to selectively release compressed air from the inflatable bellows in response to an operator action that is (for example) intended to lower the ramp. An exhaust manifold is arranged to receive the selectively released air from the control valve and to directionally exhaust a focused stream of compressed air underneath the ramp so that the compressed air is directed to move debris towards the distal portion of the ramp to facilitate cleaning of the loading dock pit that lies underneath the ramp. A solar power subsystem stores solar energy to power a compressor that provides the compressed air.

  • Patent number: 8627529
    Abstract: A central pressurized air supply selectively couples pressurized air to one or more dock levelers to pivot a hinged ramp of a dock leveler. Each dock leveler includes an inflatable member to which the pressurized air is selectively coupled, and the inflatable member is arranged to pivot about the hinged ramp of a respective dock leveler. A control system allows continued operation of the system during adverse conditions.

  • Patent number: 8221166
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method are disclosed for eliminating phantom power wastage utilizing a power tap. An insulation casing creates a receiving space for a printed circuit board which mounts male blades, female receptacles, phantom power indication and a mechanical electrical switching capability is disclosed. The conductive male blades and female receptacles create a cross pattern for a two pronged power tap that allows miniaturization of the power tap so as to allow full access to adjacent electrical outlets. Switching states include normally open which permits zero power flow and normally closed which permits power indication and allows power to flow from conductive male blades to conductive female receiving receptacles.

  • Publication number: 20120073325
    Abstract: A jewelry ornamental article including a plurality of links (2, 2?, . . . ) connected to each other by connecting means (5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 5a?, 5b?,6a?, 6b?, 7, . . . ) so as to form a chain. Each link (2, 2?, . . . ) includes a frame (3, 3?, . . . ) that extends in a vertical direction (V) and supports at one of its ends a mounting (4, 4?, . . . ) suitable to house a decorative member. The links (2, 2?, . . . ) are linked together so that the mountings (4, 4?, . . . ) of adjacent links (2, 2?, . . . ) face opposite surfaces of said chain in the vertical direction (V). This arrangement minimizes the size of the gaps that are formed between the links when the chain is closed in a ring-like manner, thus obtaining a remarkably higher continuity of color, design and brightness than the reversible chains known in the field.
