Abstract: A processing system concurrency optimization system includes a processing system having first and second processing subsystems, a power system that is coupled to the first and second processing subsystems, a processing system concurrency optimization database, and a processing system concurrency optimization subsystem that is coupled to the power system and the processing system concurrency optimization database. The processing system concurrency optimization subsystem determines that a first workload has been provided for performance by the processing system, and identifies a first processing system concurrency optimization profile that is associated with the first workload in the processing system concurrency optimization database.

Abstract: A computing cooling system includes a chassis, heat dissipation device(s) in the chassis, a first fan system in the chassis configured to generate a first airflow that is directed past the heat dissipation device(s) and out of the chassis, and a second fan system in the chassis configured to generate a second airflow that is that is directed into the chassis. A board in the chassis includes a first board section located adjacent the first fan system, and a second board section located adjacent the second fan system and configured to receive the second airflow. The first board section includes first components that are thermally coupled to the heat dissipation device(s) and that are configured to operate in a first temperature range, and the second board section includes second components that are configured to operate in a second temperature range that is lower than the first temperature range.

Abstract: A computing device cooling system includes a chassis including chassis surface(s). The chassis houses component(s), chassis surface temperature sensor(s) configured to report a chassis surface temperature associated with the chassis surface(s), component temperature sensor(s) configured to report a component temperature associated with the component(s); a first fan system configured to generate a component cooling airflow that reduces the component temperature of the component(s), and a second fan system configured to generate a chassis surface cooling airflow that reduces the chassis surface temperature of the chassis surface(s). A fan control system is coupled to the chassis surface temperature sensor(s), the component temperature sensor(s), the first fan system, and the second fan system.

Abstract: A wound closure device and method are disclosed. The wound closure device includes a housing, a needle driver assembly, a needle guard assembly, and optionally, a bolster. Use of the device and method reduces the length of time it takes to successfully close a wound or incision when compared to manual suturing as well as decreases the risk of complications such as internal organ damage and hemorrhage caused by the suture needles and eventual herniation through the abdominal wall caused by a poorly and ineffectively closed wound or incision.

Abstract: Arrangements and methods are provided that modulate various display device outputs in response to detected changes in environmental conditions affecting a display screen. The arrangement responds to changing environments to maximize the quality of the display. A sensor that is responsive to the changing environment, such as changes in ambient light, is provided to modulate the display accordingly. The arrangement contains logic for utilizing the sensing input and user preferences to provide the best display under the prevailing conditions.

Abstract: A tube is provided for use in a peristaltic pump, with the tube including a cylindrical wall defining a hollow interior and a cylindrical outer surface. The tube further includes a longitudinal centerline axis and a plurality of indicia applied to the cylindrical outer surface, with the indicia including first and second indicium extending transversely to the longitudinal centerline axis. The second indicium is longitudinally spaced from the first indicium by a predetermined distance.

Abstract: A mounting plate assembly for selectively securing a sacrificial anode to the exposed surface of a tank or boat hull. The mounting plate assembly provides for a pair of watertight space mounting studs to be extended through the attached surface and provide anode engagement thereon. The studs are welded to both the mounting plate and a fixation nut on the plate to which the anode is correspondingly registerably engaged.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of determining fluid phase distribution and quantifying holdup in a wellbore. The method includes receiving a plurality of oriented probe data and grouping the oriented probe data based on a depth interval. The grouped probe data is processed and fluid phase distribution information is generated based on the processed result.

Abstract: A closed-loop torque demand power steering system suitable for large off-highway and other vehicles has no mechanical linkages or hydraulic connections entering into the driver's cab. A torque demand signal is produced electronically without any separate electromechanical torque sensor. Upon starting, the system provides synchronization between steering and steering wheels without initial corrective motion of either member. During operation the direction of the steered wheels does not drift relative to the position of the steering wheel. The circuit includes protection against spurious steering signals that might otherwise occur if the steering is moved back and forth mechanically on a transition boundary of a position sensor. In the event of certain types of failure of its primary steering system it automatically changes over to an open-loop secondary steering system that is controllable by the same steering wheel, and that has components in common with the primary system.
