Abstract: Disclosed are compounds having the formula: wherein q, r, s, A, B, C, RA1, RA2, RB1, RB2, RC1, RC2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R14, R15, R16, and R17, are as defined herein, or a tautomer thereof, or a salt, particularly a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, thereof.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to an accelerator that includes an interface and circuitry coupled to the interface. In some examples, the circuitry is configured to access compressed data, decompress the compressed data, and output the decompressed data based on a call to an application programming interface (API). In some examples, based on a first call to the API having first values, the circuitry is to decompress at least a subset of the data and output at least one strict subset of the decompressed data. In some examples, based on a second call to the API having second values, the circuitry is to decompress an entirety of the data and output the decompressed data.

Abstract: A tip cap for a turbine blade. The tip cap may include a HS-188 sheet material with a thickness of less than about 0.079 inches (about 2 millimeters) and a number of holes positioned in the sheet material.

Abstract: A core for a shell die used in casting a turbine bucket includes an elongated body shaped to create internal cooling passages in the bucket, the elongated body formed with at least one core support pin extending transversely of the elongated body and adapted to fix the core inside the shell die, at least one core support pin having an elliptical shape in cross-section. The invention also relates to a cast turbine bucket with at least one exit hole formed therein during casting. The exit hole and a plug for closing the hole are elliptical in cross-section.

Abstract: The frequency hopping adaptation algorithm is an interference avoidance algorithm allowed by the U.S. FCC for ISM band spread spectrum systems. The frequency hopping adaptation algorithm is designed for ISM band frequency hopping systems such as IEEE 802.11 FH, HomeRF 2.0 (including wide band frequency hopping), Bluetooth and other frequency hopping systems.

Abstract: A waveform synthesizer includes a data memory, an address manager, an interface and a pulse generator. The data memory has a pulse-width value storage for storing values obtained from sampling a low frequency periodic waveform at a high sampling rate. These values stored in the storage can be scaled in response to a requested magnitude by a scaler within the data memory, thereby generating a look-up table with a series of addresses. The address manager includes an address generator and an address incrementer. The address generator generates address codes for accessing the look-up table through the series of addresses. The address incrementer then adjusts the magnitude of the address increments in response to requested frequency input from the interface. The address increments are proportional to the frequency so that when the requested frequency is high, the address increments are large and more addresses are skipped over between retrieve operations.
