Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to thermal control implemented by a power management unit. In some embodiments, the power management unit itself is configured to monitor thermal conditions, implement control for one or more thermal loops, and send reduction alerts, via an inter-chip interconnect, to the processor circuitry it powers. In some embodiments, the power management unit implements both thermal and electromigration control loops. Disclosed techniques may advantageously reduce or avoid thermal issues, potentially with reduced impact on processor performance relative to traditional techniques.

Abstract: A sweatpants garment assembly for wearing sweatpants without using a drawstring includes a pair of pants that are comprised of a stretchable, loose fitting fleece. The pair of pants has a waistband and the pair of pants has a belt sleeve being integrated therein. A belt is extendable through the belt sleeve to tighten the pair of pants around the user's waist.

Abstract: The present invention relates to instruments for achieving improved accuracy in targeting objects from a distance. In particular, the present invention provides instruments designed to measure the slope of a reference point to an object at a distance. In addition, the present invention provides instruments designed to measure the cant level of a reference point to an object at a distance.

Abstract: An improved welding power supply control circuit is disclosed. The control circuit, which incorporates a microprocessor, simultaneously adjusts the power supplied to a welding electrode and the speed of the electrode, in accordance with a selected power/speed relationship table or curve. The power/speed relationship of a selected table can be further modified manually, as by a potentiometer, to optimize the weld. Feedback circuitry senses the frequency of the weld and the weld voltage, to regulate the power and to modify the slope of the voltage/current output curve, respectively.

Abstract: The specification describes a mechanism for controllably advancing material such as wire to a work station. The mechanism includes two frusto-conical shaped wheels mounted in a face to face relationship so that the wire is pulled through the nip formed by a rotation of the wheels. One wheel has an associated bias adjustment means which is adapted to vary the pressure exerted by one wheel on the other. A flexible wire guide, and an adjustable spool holder form part of the mechanism.

Abstract: The specification describes a control unit for use with the welding gun of an arc welding assembly. A single adjustable means in the welding gun effects changes in the control unit to regulate welding voltage as well as the speed at which the electrode wire is fed to the welding site.
