Abstract: Techniques for controlling bandwidth in a core are described. An exemplary core includes a memory bandwidth monitor per thread local to the core, each thread's local bandwidth monitor to at least allocate bandwidth for memory requests originating from the thread according to a class of service level stored in a field of quality of service (QoS) model-specific register (MSR), the class of service level pointed to by a class of service field in a platform quality of service MSR; and execution resources to support execution of at least one thread of the core.

Abstract: A polymerisable liquid crystal (LC) compound, a corresponding polymerizable LC material, a polymer film with flat, negative, or positive optical dispersion obtainable from such a material, and the use of the polymerisable LC, polymerisable LC material and/or polymer film in optical, electro optical, electronic, semiconducting, or luminescent components or devices.

Abstract: A method and system for shifting a transmission that includes one or more mechanical clutches without clutch plates is described. In one example, a torque output of an electric machine is adjusted in response to a request to shift a transmission so that forces that hold the mechanical clutch in an engaged position may be reduced.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a transmission. The transmission system operating method includes, in one example, re-estimating a time for each phase of an alternate gear shift in response to determining one or more conditions that are indicative of an operator's intent to implement the alternate gear shift. The method further includes performing one or more gear change phases that reduce a duration to implement the alternate gear shift based on the re-estimated time for each phase of the alternate gear shift.

Abstract: An antirotation valve system for controlling flow through a valve opening defined in a compressor surface. The antirotation valve system includes a reed and a backer each having one mounting opening and one antirotation feature, and a washer.

Abstract: Methods and systems for evacuating lubricant from an area of an axle are described. The lubricant may be evacuated away from one or more clutches during low temperatures so that a clutch may be engaged while having to displace less lubricant to engage the clutch. In one example, an electric machine may be rotated to evacuate lubricant away from the clutch.

Abstract: A polymerisable liquid crystal (LC) compound, a corresponding polymerizable LC material, a polymer film with flat, negative, or positive optical dispersion obtainable from such a material, and the use of the polymerisable LC, polymerisable LC material and/or polymer film in optical, electro optical, electronic, semiconducting, or luminescent components or devices.

Abstract: A tubular component (e.g., a drill pipe, work string pipe, etc.) with one or more hardbanding treatments on an external surface of the tubular component. One or more or all of the hardbanding treatments have a helical or spiral shape. The hardbanding treatment provides 1) enhanced durability to the central region of the tubular component at potentially lower costs, 2) enhanced strength and/or rigidity of the central region of the tubular component to reduce the amount of bending or flexing of the tubular component during the insertion and/or removal of the tubular component into/from a wellbore, and/or 3) improved fluid and debris flow about the central region of the tubular component.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling shifting of a tandem axle assembly are described. In one example, a method comprises adjusting torque applied at an input connection of a first axle of a tandem axle assembly based on a clutch disengagement torque while transitioning the first axle between shift settings.

Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a multispeed transmission. In one example, a method to increasing a shift performance of a transmission with actuated clutches comprises controlling an engagement depth of a clutch based on a gear that is being selected by the clutch. A target engagement depth of the clutch may be retrieved from a gear selection matrix in a lookup table stored in the memory of a controller of the transmission. The target engagement depth may depend on an amount of torque expected to be transferred to the gear.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a powertrain. In one example, a method for a powertrain includes adjusting a coupling between a synchronization shaft and one or more of an input shaft and an output shaft in response to a clutch drag torque. The adjusting is based on speeds of one or more of the input shaft, the synchronization shaft, and the output shaft.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions and methods that utilize high-throughput oligonucleotide synthesis methods, including array-based oligonucleotide synthesis, to generate the materials needed for the gSynth and Addamer based DNA synthesis methods. Accordingly, disclosed here are compositions and methods that combine gSynth and Addamer technologies with high-throughput oligonucleotide synthesis to generate routine high-fidelity gene (target nucleic acid) synthesis.

Abstract: A gimbal assembly for supporting a camera includes a first member, a second member, a third member and a frame. The first member is arranged to support the camera and pivotally supported on the second member so as to rotate about a yaw axis with respect to the second member, the second member is pivotally supported on the third member so as to rotate about a pitch axis with respect to the third member, the pitch axis being orthogonal to the yaw axis, and the third member is pivotally supported on the frame so as to rotate about a roll axis with respect to the frame, the roll axis being orthogonal to the pitch axis and to the yaw axis. The third member is coupled with the frame so that it slides on an internal surface of the frame when the third member rotates about the roll axis.

Abstract: A coupler for releasably coupling an attachment to a heavy-equipment machine. The coupler comprises a frame, and a plurality of connection elements extending from the frame, with the connection elements configured to engage with the attachment. The coupler additionally comprises a locking pin configured to extend simultaneously through the frame and the attachment. The coupler further comprises a locking element configured to selectively engage with the locking pin to securely couple the coupler to the attachment. The coupler further comprises an actuator configured to shift the locking element between an unlocked position and a locked position.
