  • Publication number: 20240103728
    Abstract: Recovering worker shares from read prioritization including: while read accesses (RA) to a storage device (SD) are being prioritized over write accesses (WA) to the SD: determining a first count of RA to the SD; performing a first adjusting of a base read share percentage (RSP) to a first adjusted RSP for RA to the SD based on the first count of RA; and controlling read access to the SD based on the first adjusting; determining that RA to the SD have completed being prioritized over WA to the SD; and after RA to the SD have completed being prioritized: determining a second count of WA to the SD; performing a second adjusting of the first adjusted RSP to a second adjusted RSP for RA to the SD based on the second count of WA; and controlling write access to the SD based on the second adjusting.

  • Patent number: 10746823
    Abstract: A transport device for transporting an NMR sample to a probe head (16), having a shuttle (15) and a locking apparatus (3) for the rotor (5), which, when attaching the shuttle to the probe head, releases the rotor, and having a detecting apparatus for detecting the rotor in the shuttle. The probe head has a positioning apparatus (2), which holds the probe head in a defined measuring position relative to the shuttle. The detecting apparatus includes a sensor line, which transmits a signal dependent on the position of the probe head to the shuttle's end. A first portion (1a) of the sensor line is mounted inside the shuttle and extends from the rotor in a transport state to the end of the shuttle. A second portion (1b) of the sensor line is mounted inside the probe head and, in the measuring position, is directly adjacent to the first portion.

  • Patent number: 10473735
    Abstract: A temperature-controlled NMR probe has a lower insert portion formed of multiple parts including two disc-shaped sub-elements that are not mechanically rigidly interconnected, lie flat against one another in the mounted state and are perpendicular to the z axis. The first sub-element (3.1), in terms of material and geometric structure, fulfils the function of electrically insulating the RF and HV lines fed through the lower insert portion, has an electrical conductivity sigma<103 S/m, mechanically and retains components of the NMR probe constructed on the lower insert portion. The second sub-element (3.2) retains the first sub-element on a main frame (7) of the NMR probe, and is made of a ductile plastics material or metal having a mechanical breaking strength ?>100 N/mm2 and a melting temperature TS>250° C. This achieves high breaking strength and resistance to thermal stress while simultaneously attaining required RF and HV properties.
