Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing nested kernel execution within a parallel processing subsystem. The technique involves enabling a parent thread to launch a nested child grid on the parallel processing subsystem, and enabling the parent thread to perform a thread synchronization barrier on the child grid for proper execution semantics between the parent thread and the child grid. This technique advantageously enables the parallel processing subsystem to perform a richer set of programming constructs, such as conditionally executed and nested operations and externally defined library functions without the additional complexity of CPU involvement.

Abstract: A pop up cover for a crib is provided for providing a safe, comfortable and isolated environment for a child in a crib. The pop-up cover may be made of breathable fabric panels having an integrated frame, for example a flexible frame, which can be folded (collapsed) on itself, for example when folded in specific ways if appropriate force is applied and which keeps the fabric in a taught, open position when unfolded (preventing the panels form falling inwards onto each other). The pop up cover can be lightweight and compact, quick and easy to set up, dark inside and breathable.

Abstract: A system includes a sensor carrier and an integrated data recorder. The sensor carrier includes an outer sub body and an inner sub body. The inner sub body is coupled to the outer sub body by a support leg. The inner sub body includes a recess formed therein. The sensor carrier includes a flow path defined as the space between the outer sub body, the inner sub body, and the support leg. The integrated data recorder is positioned within the recess of the inner sub body such that the integrated data recorder is substantially at the centerline of the sensor carrier. The integrated data recorder includes a sensor package including one or more drilling dynamics sensors, a processor, a memory module, and an electrical energy source.

Abstract: Method of treating a shutter of a PVD apparatus including providing a PVD apparatus comprising a chamber, a target, a substrate support positioned in the chamber and a shutter which is deployable within the chamber to divide the chamber into a first compartment in which the substrate support is positioned, and a second compartment in which the target is positioned, providing a substrate having a pasting material deposited thereon, the substrate being positioned on the substrate support, deploying the shutter within the chamber to divide the chamber into the first and second compartments. The shutter may have an underside which, in its deployed position, faces the substrate. At least one contaminant material may be present on the underside and generating a plasma in the first compartment to sputter etch pasting material onto the underside of the shutter, thereby pasting the contaminant material to the underside of the shutter.

Abstract: An actuator for a valve can include a torque module and a drive module that is configured to transmit rotational force from the torque module to a valve member (e.g., to selectively open and close the valve by rotating a flow control element thereof). A torque-sensing system can include a sensor element configured to detect a deformation of at least one of the torque module or the drive module, to monitor torque applied by the actuator to the valve.

Abstract: The present invention facilitates efficient and effective utilization of unified virtual addresses across multiple components. In one exemplary implementation, an address allocation process comprises: establishing space for managed pointers across a plurality of memories, including allocating one of the managed pointers with a first portion of memory associated with a first one of a plurality of processors; and performing a process of automatically managing accesses to the managed pointers across the plurality of processors and corresponding memories. The automated management can include ensuring consistent information associated with the managed pointers is copied from the first portion of memory to a second portion of memory associated with a second one of the plurality of processors based upon initiation of an accesses to the managed pointers from the second one of the plurality of processors.
