  • Publication number: 20240287240
    Abstract: This invention relates to chemical polymer compositions, methods of synthesis, and fabrication methods for devices regarding polymers capable of displaying shape memory behavior (SMPs) and which can first be polymerized to a linear or branched polymeric structure, having thermoplastic properties, subsequently processed into a device through processes typical of polymer melts, solutions, and dispersions and then crossed linked to a shape memory thermoset polymer retaining the processed shape.

  • Patent number: 12039201
    Abstract: Host and accelerator devices can be coupled using various interfaces, such as Compute Express Link (CXL). In an example, user applications can have protected access to a shared set of control parameters for different queues. A protocol can allow an application to use a unique memory page at the accelerator device through which the application can access control parameters, such as can be used to control memory-based communication queues or other queues. In an example, there can be multiple sets of control parameters in a single memory page. The protocol can allow views of the single memory page from respective different application processes. In an example, the protocol can include or use an access check to detect and handle unauthorized accesses to particular parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240225414
    Abstract: A dish rack for cleaning reusable plastic dishware can include a bottom support wall, a sidewall defining an outer frame, and a cover positionable over the bottom support wall. In some examples, the dish rack includes spaced-apart prongs extending upwardly from the bottom support wall. In use, an operator can load reusable plastic dishware on or between the prongs of the dish rack and close the cover. This can enclose the reusable plastic in a space bounded between the bottom support wall, the sidewall defining the frame, and the cover. Once loaded, the operator can insert the dishrack into the dishwasher to clean the reusable plastic dishware while retained in the dish rack. The dish rack can allow the reusable plastic dishware to be properly cleaned while minimizing or eliminating problems associated with the comparatively light reusable plastic dishware moving in response to high pressure water within the dishwasher.

  • Patent number: 12008243
    Abstract: A system includes a host device, a memory device, and a command manager configured to reorder respective command responses for corresponding commands between the host device and the memory device. The command manager is further configured to receive a command response associated with a transaction identifier for each command. An index value for the command is written to a reordering queue. In response to a command response write for the command response, the index value from the reordering queue is read. The index value is written in an index update queue. A network write index update message is transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20240069795
    Abstract: A system includes a host device having a first buffer with ordered data. An accelerator device has a data movement processor and a reordering buffer. A multiple-channel interface couples the host device and the data movement processor of the accelerator device. The data movement processor is configured to issue a read command for a portion of the ordered data. In coordination with issuing the read command, an entry of the reordering buffer is allocated. A transaction identifier for the read command is allocated. Unordered responses are received from the host device via the multiple-channel interface. The responses include respective portions of the ordered data and a respective transaction identifier. The responses are reordered in the reordering buffer based on the respective transaction identifiers and the allocated entry of the reordering buffer.

  • Publication number: 20240069805
    Abstract: A system includes a memory device and a command manager configured to reorder read requests. The command manager is configured to receive a read response associated with a transaction identifier for the read request. A free list entry for the read request is allocated from a free list. The free list entry is associated with a transaction identifier of the read request. A tail index of a reordering queue is written to a remapping queue based on the free list entry. The tail index is configured to provide a write address of the reordering queue that is allocated for the read request. A read response associated with the transaction identifier for the read request is received. The read response is written to the allocated entry of the reordering queue.

  • Patent number: 11892929
    Abstract: A management system is described. The management system includes an interface coupled to a plurality of infrastructure appliances and one or more processors to monitor each of the plurality of infrastructure appliances, detect a malfunction at a first of the infrastructure appliances, and transmit a display message to one or more of the plurality of infrastructure appliances that are adjacent to the first infrastructure appliance, wherein a display message indicates one or more activity light indicators to be activated at an adjacent infrastructure appliance.

  • Publication number: 20240028390
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to an arrangement comprising a first hardware compute element and a hardware balancer element. The first hardware compute element may send a first request message to a hardware balancer element. The first request message may describe a processing task. The hardware balancer element may send a second request message towards a second hardware compute element for executing the processing task and send to the first compute element a first reply message in reply to the first request message. After sending the first reply message, the hardware balancer element may receive a first completion request message indicating that the processing task is assigned and send, to the first hardware computing element, a second completion request message, the second completion request message indicating that the processing task is assigned.

  • Patent number: 11844641
    Abstract: An x-ray tube source is disclosed that allows differential phase shift, attenuation, and x-ray scattering features of an object to be acquired in a single exposure. Such multiplexed x-ray tube source includes multiple x-ray spot origins controlled in such a way that each slightly separated spot is temporally modulated “ON and OFF” at differing frequencies. In an x-ray interferometer system, such x-ray tube source forms multiple illumination beams of a single angular view of an object's feature but each with different interference fringe locations. A composite image can be acquired with a high frame-rate digital detector as a component element in such x-ray interferometer system. Such composite image can be subsequently de-multipexed and separately presented according to each spot-source illumination beam.
