Abstract: Methods are provided for reliving excess vacuum from a fuel tank. In response to elevated fuel tank vacuum levels, a canister purge valve is opened to dissipate the vacuum to an engine intake manifold while the engine is not combusting. Alternatively, the purge valve is opened to dissipate the excess vacuum to the intake manifold while the engine is combusting during conditions when the likelihood of air-fuel ratio errors are lower or when any incurred errors are better tolerated.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer readable media for calculating the capacity of a provider by calculating, using biographical data representing the provider, a first total units of service that are available to be offered to consumers during a first time period; calculating a second total units of service potentially available from the provider for a proposed second time period using a projection based in part on a model of consumer demand for the units of service; determining a third total units of service that are unavailable during the second time period based on at least one known or projected unavailability; and calculating a capacity based on the third total units of service and the second total units of service, the capacity being a capacity for a proposed promotion representing a maximum total of instruments to be offered in the proposed promotion by the provider.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for bone cavity preparation. Formed broaching members may be supported inside a bone by a rotator. The broaching members may be bowed out inside the bone to create a cavity having a shape determined by the broaching members and bone anatomy.

Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method initiate, in connection with a context switch operation, a prefetch of data likely to be used by a thread prior to resuming execution of that thread. As a result, once it is known that a context switch will be performed to a particular thread, data may be prefetched on behalf of that thread so that when execution of the thread is resumed, more of the working state for the thread is likely to be cached, or at least in the process of being retrieved into cache memory, thus reducing cache-related performance penalties associated with context switching.

Abstract: A worktop (1) comprising a leaf (3) hingedly coupled to a wall (6) about a hinge axis (7) by a pair of support mechanisms (91) between a usable state and a folded state. Each support mechanism (91) comprises a first mounting member (93) and a second mounting member (92) which are pivotally connected by a main pivot pin (94) which defines the hinge axis (7). A strut (15) extends between the first and second mounting members (93,92). A first pivot pin (19) at a first end (17) of the strut (15) is slideable and pivotal in an elongated first guide track (96) in the first mounting member (93) between first and second positions (73,74). A second pivot pin (20) at a second end (18) of the strut (15) is pivotal in a slideable element (25), which in turn is slideable in a second guide track (14) of the second mounting member (92) between first and second positions (26,27).

Abstract: Images for information handling system manufacture and maintenance are created and managed by manipulating the images as virtual machines through a secure remote network interface, such as a virtual private network or virtual desktop infrastructure. Operating system and application installation and updates, such as service packs and patches, are performed on a virtual machine of the image to adjust the image as desired, and then the image is transformed for loading on physical information handling systems, such as newly manufactured information handling systems or deployed information handling systems in need of maintenance.

Abstract: A system includes an ordering module, an asset tagging module, a database, and a manufacturer server. The ordering module is configured to receive an order for a component from a web browser. The asset tagging module is configured to receive information for an asset tag from the web browser, and to receive a selection of a location on the component to place the asset tag. The database is configured to store the order for the component, the information for the asset tag, and the location of the asset tag on the component. The manufacturer server is configured to retrieve the order for the component, the information for the asset tag, and the location of the asset tag on the component, and to direct printing of the information on the asset tag and placement of the asset tag at the location on the component prior to placing the component in packaging for the component.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for implementing polymorphic branch history table (BHT) reconfiguration. A BHT includes a plurality of predetermined configurations corresponding predetermined operational modes. A first BHT configuration is provided. Checking is provided to identify improved performance with another BHT configuration. The BHT is reconfigured to provide improved performance based upon the current workload.

Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method initiate, in connection with a context switch operation, a prefetch of at least one instruction likely to be executed by a thread prior to resuming execution of that thread. As a result, once it is known that a context switch will be performed to a particular thread, one or more instructions may be prefetched on behalf of that thread so that when execution of the thread is resumed, those instructions are more likely to be cached, or at least in the process of being retrieved into cache memory, thus enabling a thread to begin executing instructions more quickly than if the thread was required to fetch those instructions upon resumption of its execution.
