  • Publication number: 20200187699
    Abstract: A divided cooking device with a lid including a base having at least one side wall rising vertically from the base. The base and the at least one sidewall create an interior volume. A plurality of dividers is located within the interior volume such that each divider rises vertically from the base. The dividers connect to the at least on sidewall and create a plurality of different cooking sections. The different cooking sections have a combination of different cooking surfaces and cooking materials. The device has a lid that is configured to fit around the top edge of the at least one side wall.

  • Publication number: 20060101226
    Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for transferring data directed to virtual memory addresses to a device memory. Indicator bits are set for ranges of device memory addresses in a device accessible over an Input/Output (I/O) bus indicating whether gathering is enabled for the device memory address ranges. Transfer operations are processed to transfer data to contiguous device memory addresses in the device. A determination is made as to whether the indicator bits for the contiguous device memory addresses indicate that gathering is enabled. A single bus I/O transaction is generated to transfer data for the contiguous device memory addresses over the I/O bus in response to determining that the indicator bits for the contiguous device memory addresses indicate that gathering is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20050034736
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a lockable ashtray comprising a cover defining at least one aperture therein, a hinge connecting the cover to a lower section. The cover is reversibly locked to the lower section or the cylinder shaped vessel. A Tray for holding cigarette butts is located out of sight beneath the cover. The at least one aperture has a diameter or width sufficiently small to hinder an adult or child intent on removing cigarette butts from the ashtray. In another embodiment the cover defining at least one aperture is attached to a cylinder shaped vessel having an inner lining defining an internal cavity at least partly filled with a bottom layer of immobile material and an upper layer of the non-inflammable material.
