Abstract: A mounting structure has characteristics, properties, or features that provide stability for the accessories mounted or supported in relation thereto. The mounting structure may be in the form of a rigid or a semi-rigid composition, which may be formed at least in part by, or sufficiently covered or coated with, a material having a damping capacity, or an ability to isolate an accessory for a vessel, a slotted track supported in relation to the vessel, or a mounting arrangement supported in relation to the vessel or the slotted track. The mounting structure may be in the form of an extension arm for offsetting the accessory laterally, crosswise or transversely in relation to the vessel, slotted track, or mounting arrangement. The extension arm may include, or carry, a surface, that is configured to interlock with a surface of a mating structure, namely, a mounting arrangement and/or an accessory or accessory mount.

Abstract: Examples describe memory refresh operations for memory subsystems. One example is a method for a memory controller, the method including entering a first state upon exiting self-refresh state, wherein the first state comprises activating a first timer. The method includes entering a second state from the first state upon detecting an end of an active period and detecting that the first timer has not expired. The method includes entering a third state from the second state upon detecting expiration of the second state, wherein the third state comprises re-entering the self-refresh state.

Abstract: A state-of-the-art memory controller and methods for using the same are disclosed. The memory controller is intended for use with dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) circuitry. In one example, a memory controller includes a reordering preprocessor circuitry coupled to a reordering scheduler circuitry. The reordering scheduler circuitry is configured to control a reordering scheduler queue, and is coupled to DRAM circuitry. The reordering preprocessor circuitry is configured to control a preprocessor queue and reorder transactions in the preprocessor queue so as to increase the DRAM circuitry performance.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for adding one or more features (e.g., high bandwidth memory (HBM)) to a qualified stacked silicon interconnect (SSI) technology programmable integrated circuit (IC) region by providing an interface (e.g., an HBM buffer region implemented with a hierarchical switch network) between the added feature device and the programmable IC region. One example apparatus generally includes a programmable IC region and an interface region configured to couple the programmable IC region to at least one fixed feature die via a first plurality of ports associated with the at least one fixed feature die and a second plurality of ports associated with the programmable IC region. The interface region is configured as a switch network between the first plurality of ports and the second plurality of ports, and the switch network includes a plurality of full crossbar switch networks.

Abstract: An attachment configured to be captured and lifted by a bucket of a vehicle includes a back end proximate the bucket, in operation; a left side; a right side; a front end distal from the bucket, the front end defining a bottom surface; connection means for receiving a forward edge of the bucket, wherein the bucket can engage and lift the attachment; and means defining a material handling area between the left side, right side, front end, and back end, the material handling area including apertures for sifting, wherein material rolls up into the material handling area when the attachment moves forward so that material can be sifted in the sifting area.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for the regulation of microRNA processing. The invention presents methods for inhibiting the activity of a Lin-28-like polypeptide and methods for treating a subject with cancer comprising administering to a subject with cancer a compound that inhibits the activity of a Lin-28-like polypeptide. Compositions comprise isolated polynucleotides and expression cassettes comprising the same that promote the processing of at least one of a regulated primary microRNA transcript by Drosha and a regulated precursor microRNA by Dicer when introduced into or expressed in a cell. Compositions and methods are also provided for the selective suppression of target polynucleotides by a microRNA based on the level of expression of a Lin-28-like polypeptide within a cell.

Abstract: A coated ice skate blade includes an ice skate blade having a plurality of sides and a bottom, and a compressive coating applied to the sides of the ice skate blade. Also provided is a method of producing a coated ice skate blade including receiving an ice skate blade having a plurality of sides and an unground bottom, applying a compressive coating to the sides and the bottom of the ice skate blade, and grinding the bottom of the ice skate blade to produce a radius of hollow. Another method includes receiving an ice skate blade having a plurality of sides and a ground bottom, and applying a compressive coating to the sides and the bottom of the ice skate blade.

Abstract: A golf club head in accordance with the invention includes a front wall defining a forward striking face having an engineered texture thereon. The engineered texture includes a prescribed, regular pattern of discrete, geometric shapes spaced at least 0.1 mm apart from each other, each shape having a volume that is less than 0.0007 mm3. Preferred methods of manufacturing the engineered texture of the forward striking face include treating the face by chemical etching, precision micro-saw-cutting, and laser cutting. The engineered texture enhances the performance of the golf club head upon striking a golf ball, providing one or more of an increased high backspin, a lower launch angle, and a higher balls speed, as compared to a golf club head not incorporating such an engineered texture.

Abstract: A bowling accessory device for preventing two inner sections of a bowling finger from assuming a straight line comprises a strip-like member with a first ring-like member affixed to the member at a first end thereof and removably accommodating a section of a bowling finger. A second ring-like member is affixed to the second opposite end of the strip-like member and removably accommodates next-adjacent section of the bowling finger. An adjusting member adjustably affixed to the second ring-like member selectively varies the distance between the first and second ring-like members at their sides opposite the strip-like member thereby preventing the sections of the finger in the ring-like members from assuming a straight position.
