Abstract: A method is provided for generating a mipmap. A processor comprises a neural processing engine comprising a plurality of hardware units suitable for performing integer operations on machine learning models. The method comprises receiving initial image data and one or more commands to perform an operation for generating a further layer of image data from the initial image data that has a different resolution to the initial image data. The method processes the commands to generate the further layer using the neural processing engine of the processor.

Abstract: To perform a reduction operation to combine data values for threads in a thread group using a data processor, the data processor performs combining steps that each combine the stored combined data value result of a previous combining operation for a thread with the combined data value result of the previous combining operation for a selected another execution lane that has not yet contributed to the stored combined data value result for the thread. The data processor selects as the another execution lane of the execution processing circuitry that has not yet contributed to the combined data value result for the thread, an execution lane from a group of execution lanes whose values have been combined in the previous combining step and that have not yet contributed to the combined data value result for the thread, and having a particular relative position in the group of execution lanes.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a foam fluid dispensing device that allows for quick and easy adjustment between a straight stream and dispersed stream. A user can quickly adjust between various stream patterns using a common motion in nozzle operation. An example device can comprise a nozzle comprising a nozzle body and an inlet configured to receive a flow of fluid, with a nozzle stem centrally disposed in the nozzle and fixedly engaged with the nozzle body. The device can also comprise a foam tube configured to receive and dispense at least a portion of the flow of fluid from the nozzle, with a foam tube coupler fixedly engaged with the foam tube. The foam tube coupler can be configured to operably couple with the nozzle stem.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a dual shutoff nozzle that can mitigate a user positioning a bale handle of the nozzle in an intermediate position to achieve fog flow through the nozzle. A nozzle may be devised that allows the bale to be disposed in a fully closed position, and/or disposed in a fully open position, and to switch between a fog spray and a straight tip flow. The nozzle may comprise a first flow control element, and a shutoff component that controls the first control element. The nozzle can comprise a second flow control element that controls flow between a straight nozzle outlet and a fog pattern outlet; and the second flow control element can be controlled by a pattern sleeve using a rotation motion.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a light mounting base to which a light may be selectably coupled. The light mounting base can be selectably engaged with a target mounting surface, thereby allowing the light to be mounted thereto. The light mounting base can comprise one or more target mounting surface engaging components that can be used to selectably engage the base with the target mounting surface. The light mounting base may be configured to selectably mount on a door or panel. Further, the base may be configured to mechanically engage with a target mounting surface, such as a wall, thereby selectably fastening the light mounting base and attached light to the target mounting surface.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a flow control valve element, which may comprise a generally spherical shape. An inlet and outlet are formed in the element, with a fluid passage disposed between. The respective inlet and outlet are defined by a lip, and at least the outlet has a lip face comprising a width less than that of an adjacent element wall thickness. The element can comprise a pair of opposing flats formed in the wall, where the flats respectively comprise an external flat portion of the element wall and an opposing internal flat portion of the element wall.

Abstract: A reel apparatus includes an axle having a generally hollow fluid inlet connection and a generally hollow fluid outlet connection. A generally hollow drum is coupled to the axle, the drum having a generally circular-shaped sidewall about an elongate axis and further having a pair of generally open, opposing ends, the drum comprising a tubular element. The fluid outlet connection of the axle extends through an opening in the sidewall of the drum, and the reel apparatus is rotatable upon the axle.

Abstract: A firefighting nozzle capable of selectively producing only a solid stream, only a fog pattern or a combination of both. The passage for the fog liquid can be opened to a flushing position for flushing debris therefrom. A solid stream sleeve is removably attached to a nozzle body for allowing discharge of solid streams having different diameters. A valve ball having a ball passageway is configured to provide flow therethrough from a supply passage to an annular discharge passage in one position of said ball in which a solid stream discharge passage is closed by the ball, and to provide flow therethrough from the supply passage to the solid stream discharge passage in another position of said ball.

Abstract: A stream shaper for reducing turbulent flow has a plurality of circumferentially-spaced vanes, with alternate vanes being axially-spaced from the remaining vanes. This axial separation of vane groups reduces the flow restriction caused by the vanes at any given cross section along the length of the stream shaper as compared to a stream shaper having the same total number of vanes extending the full length of the stream shaper. Axially spacing alternate vanes from the remaining vanes also permits a significant reduction in the overall length of the stream shaper while providing the turbulence reducing effects of a much longer stream shaper with vanes that extend uninterrupted the full length of the stream shaper.
