  • Publication number: 20250181521
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes: bandwidth estimator circuitry configured to: obtain a first memory transaction; and determine a consumed bandwidth associated with the memory transaction; and gate circuitry configured to: permit transmission of the memory transaction to a memory controller circuitry; determine whether to gate a second memory transaction generated by a source of the first memory transaction based on the consumed bandwidth of the first memory transaction; and when it is determined to gate the second memory transaction, prevent transmission of the second memory transaction for an amount of time based on the consumed bandwidth.

  • Publication number: 20250153447
    Abstract: The invention describes a method of manufacturing a wind turbine rotor blade (4), which method comprises at least the steps of providing a rotor blade mould (1) comprising a lower mould (11) and a segmented upper mould (12), the segmented upper mould (12) comprising a root end mould section (120) and a number of airfoil mould sections (121, 122); and arranging a composite material layup (2) in the lower mould (11). The inventive method comprises further steps of arranging the upper mould (12) over the composite layup (11) by: placing the root end mould section (120) at the position of an airfoil mould section (121); moving the root end mould section (120) in a longitudinal direction (Dz) to its intended position at the root end (20) of the composite layup (2); and placing the airfoil mould sections (121, 122) in their positions on the composite layup (2).

  • Publication number: 20250060887
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are described to facilitate access control in memory. An example method includes accessing state values stored in non-volatile memory, the state values corresponding to a state of the non-volatile memory; responsive to obtaining a request to enter a diagnostic mode, authenticating credentials corresponding to the request; determining the state of the non-volatile memory based on the state values; and determining whether to permit or prohibit access to the non-volatile memory based on the determined state.

  • Patent number: 11432533
    Abstract: A guide dog apparatus comprises a form fitting guide dog harness, an extensible and rotatable human guiding handle, and a single point attachment mechanism connecting the dog harness and human guiding handle. The harness includes a dorsal panel and a ventral panel. A user handle is connected to an attachment member that is mounted to the dorsal panel of the harness and which includes a clamping gudgeon that retains a pintle attached to the handle in a desired orientation. The apparatus positively couples linear guiding forces in the ventral, dorsal, cranial, and caudal directions. The guiding handle attachment positively couples rotational guiding forces about the vertical dorsoventral axis and the horizontal anteroposterior axis. Freedom of rotation is provided about the lateral horizontal left-right axis. The user is able to laterally adjust the distance between grip and the harness.
