Abstract: Heat shrinkable films comprised of polyesters comprising certain combinations of glycols and diacids in particular proportions. These polyesters afford certain advantageous properties in the resulting shrinkable films including toughness and/or ageing, and thus are suitable as replacements for commercially available shrink films made using poly(vinyl chloride).

Abstract: A memory access request is initiated by a first peripheral device. The memory access request includes a virtual address. A host physical address (HPA) associated with the virtual address is determined. An identifier of a base address register (BAR) associated with the HPA is determined by the first peripheral device. The memory access request is transmitted using the identifier of the BAR to a second peripheral device.

Abstract: Multilayer crystallizable heat shrinkable films and sheets comprising amorphous copolyester compositions and crystallizable copolyester compositions which comprise residues of terephthalic acid, neopentyl glycol (NPG), 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), ethylene glycol (EG), and diethylene glycol (DEG), and which incorporate recycled PET, in certain compositional ranges having certain advantages and improved properties including recyclability.

Abstract: A command manager can be configured to enforce respective command execution policies for each of multiple queues according to respective command fence instructions. In an example, the command manager can be configured to receive a first packet comprising a first fence instruction and a first command for a first queue and, responsive to the first fence instruction indicating fence participation, increment a fence counter and provide the first command to a command execution unit, such as a memory controller of a memory device. The command manager can receive a first response message from the command execution unit based on the first command and can decrement the fence counter. In an example, the command manager comprises a portion of an accelerator device that uses an unordered interconnect, such as a Compute Express Link (CXL) interconnect, to communicate with a host device.

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.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns snake-derived peptides and the useful application of such peptides to inhibit bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic infections. The disclosed peptides are also useful for the treatment of an inflammatory condition or cancers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
