  • Publication number: 20240037038
    Abstract: Circuitry, systems, and methods are provided for an integrated circuit including an acceleration function unit to provide hardware acceleration for a host device. The integrated circuit may also include interface circuitry including a cache coherency bridge/agent including a device cache to resolve coherency with a host cache of the host device. The interface circuitry may also include cacheline state tracker circuitry to track states of cachelines of the device cache and the host cache. The cacheline state tracker circuitry provides insights to expected state changes based on states of the cachelines of the device cache, the host cache, and a type of operation performed.

  • Publication number: 20070269666
    Abstract: Improved methods for treating metal surfaces, and especially soft metal aluminum or magnesium surfaces, involves contacting such surfaces with an aqueous mixture or composition containing boron nitride at acidic or basic pH levels. Preferably, aluminum concrete form sections are treated using an aqueous boron nitride composition including potassium hydroxide and having a pH of from about 12-14. Such forms are treated by spraying or similar methods resulting in a chemical reaction between the boron nitride and metal.

  • Patent number: 5887889
    Abstract: The stroller includes a frame inclined downward and forward, the frame having left and right side frame members joined by a handle at their upper rear ends. A single front wheel is mounted on an axle at the lower front end of the frame. Left and right swing arms extend downward and rearward from pivotal attachments on the left and right side frame members, respectively. Left and right rear wheels are mounted on axles at the lower ends of the swing arms. There is no rigid connection or horizontal member between the front and rear axles, thereby permitting the stroller to clear higher curbs or carry cargo that extends into the space between the front and rear axles, while also reducing the weight of the stroller. On each side of the stroller a resilient member is detachably connected between the swing arm and a point on the side frame member above and to the rear of the point at which the swing arm is attached.
