Abstract: A memory controller maintains a mapping of target ranges in system memory space interleaved two-ways across locations in a three-rank environment. For each range of the target ranges, the mapping comprises a two-way interleaving of the range across two ranks of the three-rank environment and offsets from base locations in the two ranks. At least one of the ranges has offsets that differ relative to each other. Such offsets allow the three ranks to be fully interleaved, two ways. An instruction to read data at a rank-agnostic location in the diverse-offset range causes the memory controller to map the rank-agnostic location to two interleaved locations offset different amounts from their respective base locations in their ranks. The controller may then affect the transfer of the data at the two interleaved locations.

Abstract: An anchoring device (40) for anchoring one or more sub-laminar bands or tapes (60a, 60b) to a pedicle screw (30), the device (40) comprising: a first portion (41) configured for attachment to at least a base portion (32 L) of a head portion (32) of the pedicle screw (32); and at least one second portion (46a, 46b) for anchoring thereto a or a respective sub-laminar band or tape (60a, 60b); wherein the first portion (41) includes first interengagement means (42Na, 42 Nb) for interengagement with corresponding notches or recesses (32Na, 32 Nb) in the head portion (32) of the pedicle screw (32) to effect the said attachment of the first portion (41) of the anchoring device (40) thereto.

Abstract: Oral care treatments are provided, including multi-component oral care compositions and methods for delivering such compositions to the oral cavity. Oral care devices and systems for implementing such oral care treatments are also provided.

Abstract: A brake (10) for the drive shaft of a vehicle or machine includes a housing (11) having an open end (12) which is adapted to be attached to the vehicle. A shaft is received in the housing (11) and is adapted to be attached to the vehicle drive shaft for rotation therewith. The shaft has a splined outer surface. A disc assembly (30) includes a plurality of rotatable discs (29) carried by the splined surface of the shaft, a plurality of stationary discs (32) which alternate with the rotatable discs (29) and a primary stationary disc (33) located at the end of the disc assembly (30), proximate to the open end (12) of housing (11). As mounted, a plurality of springs (42) cause the stationary discs (32) to engage the rotatable discs (29) to apply a braking torque to the shaft. A piston (21) is moveable to oppose the spring force and allow free rotation of the rotating discs (29). Prior to mounting, a plurality of shipping bolts (25) hold the disc assembly (30) together and axially aligned.

Abstract: Oral care compositions are described herein. The oral care compositions generally have Theological properties that are desirable for use in a dispensing toothbrush. In some instances, the oral care composition has a yield point of y Pa and a shear slope of x Pa/Sec, wherein the ratio of yield point to shear slope is less than y/(74?370x+470x2). In some instances, the oral care composition has a Newtonian viscosity at 400 Pa of less than 1.0 Pa.s.
