Abstract: An anode apparatus for mounting on an external surface of a concrete structure to provide cathodic protection of metal members in the concrete uses a pre-assembled body which is typically elongate carrying a longitudinal anode, which can be sacrificial or impressed current, together with a supporting material having a front face for attachment to the surface and an impermeable plastic covering material at the rear face covering the anode and the supporting material when the front face is attached to the surface of the concrete. A channel defined on the front face is arranged to receive a layer of a conformable ionically conductive adhesive material for attachment to the external surface. A distance of the edge of the covering material is arranged to be similar to a distance of the metal from the external surface such that wetting and drying effects of environmental moisture are the same for the anode as for the metal components.

Abstract: Techniques for data manipulation using integer matrix multiplication using pipelining are disclosed. A first integer matrix with dimensions m×k and a second integer matrix with dimensions k×n are obtained for matrix multiplication within a processor. The first and second integer matrices employ a two's complement variable radix point data representation. The first and second integer matrices are distilled into (j×j) submatrices. A first variable radix point format and an initial value for an accumulator register are configured dynamically. A first variable radix point format is configured dynamically for the first integer matrix and a second variable radix point format is configured dynamically for the second integer matrix. Multiply-accumulate operations are executed in a pipelined fashion on the (j×j) submatrices of the first integer matrix and the second integer matrix, where a third variable radix point format is configured for the result.
