  • Publication number: 20190161382
    Abstract: Systems for producing articles from glass tube include a converter having a base with a plurality of processing stations and a turret moveable relative to the base. The turret indexes a plurality of holders for holding the glass tubes successively through the processing stations. The systems further include a gas flow system or a suction system for producing a flow of gas through the glass tube during one or more heating, forming, separating or piercing operations. The flow of gas through the glass tube produced by the gas flow system or suction system may be sufficient to evacuate or purge volatile constituents of the glass from the glass tube and/or pierce a meniscus formed on the glass tube during separation, thereby reducing the Surface Hydrolytic Response (SHR) of the interior surface of the glass tube and articles made therefrom.

  • Patent number: 10216989
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for providing additional information for text in an image. In some implementations, a computing device receives an image including text. Optical character recognition (OCR) is performed on the image to produce recognized text. A word or a phrase is selected from the recognized text for providing additional information. One or more potential meanings of the selected word or phrase are determined. One of the potential meanings is selected based on other text in the image. A source of additional information corresponding to the selected meaning is selected for providing the additional information to a user's device.

  • Patent number: 10216520
    Abstract: A compressing instruction queue for a microprocessor including a storage queue and a redirect logic circuit. The storage queue includes a matrix of storage locations including N rows and M columns for storing microinstructions of the microprocessor in sequential order. The redirect logic circuit is configured to receive and write multiple microinstructions per cycle of a clock signal into sequential storage locations of the storage queue without leaving unused storage locations and beginning at a first available storage location in the storage queue. The redirect logic circuit performs redirection and compression to eliminate empty locations or holes in the storage queue and to reduce the number of write ports interfaced with each storage location of the storage queue.
