Abstract: A relational model may be used to encode primitives for each of a plurality of threads in a multi-core processor. The primitives may include tasks and parameters, such as buffers. Implicitly created tasks, like set render target, may be visualized by associating those implicitly created tasks with actual coded tasks.

Abstract: A foldable frame assembly including pivotally connected first and second frame members to permit relative movement between a folded position to an unfolded position, and a fastening device mounted in an accommodating recess formed by proximate end portions of the first and second frame members. The fastening device includes a handle member operable from a releasing position to a locking position to retain the first and second frame members in the unfolded position. At the locking position, the handle member is provided within the accommodating space while at the releasing position, the handle member projects outwardly from the accommodating space.

Abstract: A bicycle chain tension adjustment assembly includes a clamping member and a clamped member. The clamping member is attached to a rear bracket in which a rear shaft of a rear wheel hub of a bicycle is mounted, and has left and right ends and an inner annular wall with an annular cam surface of an adjustable dimension so as to be placed at tightening and loosening positions. The clamped member extends rightwardly of the right end of the rear shaft, and has a peripheral wall with an axis that is offset from the axis of the rear shaft to mate with the annular cam surface when the annular cam surface is in the tightening position.

Abstract: A supporting device for a bicycle wheel includes a bicycle frame, a single vertical support tube and restraining unit. The single vertical support tube has upper and lower sections telescoped to one another and a shock-absorbing unit disposed between the upper and lower sections. The upper section is connected to the bicycle frame. The lower section is adapted to carry the bicycle wheel. The restraining unit interconnects the upper and lower sections of the supporting tube and prevents the upper and lower sections of the support tube from rotating about an axis of the support tube with respect to one another.

Abstract: A spoked wheel includes a wheel rim, a wheel hub, and a plurality of spokes that are formed integrally from fiber reinforced plastic and that interconnect the wheel rim and wheel hub. Each spoke has an intermediate portion with a symmetrical oval cross-section, a nub larger than spoke apertures in hub flanges of the wheel hub, and a bend interconnecting the nub and the intermediate portion. The bend changes gradually from the circular cross-section of the nub to the oval cross-section of the intermediate portion. The nub and the bend have abutment faces which contact tightly inclined faces of a corresponding spoke aperture so as to secure the nub and the bend on inner and outer sides of the hub flange. Each spoke further has a foot portion and a transitional portion extending from the intermediate portion and changing gradually from the oval cross-section to an elliptical cross-section of the foot portion. Each of a plurality of washers is disposed between the wheel rim and one of the spokes.
