  • Publication number: 20210406069
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosures for scheduling code in a multiprocessor system. Code is portioned into code blocks by a compiler. The compiler schedules execution of code blocks in nodes. The nodes are connected in a directed acyclical graph with a top node, terminal node and a plurality of intermediate nodes. Execution of the top node is initiated by the compiler. After executing at least one instance of the top node, an instruction in the code block indicates to the scheduler to initiate at least one intermediary node. The scheduler schedules a thread for execution of the intermediary node. The data for the nodes resides in a plurality of data buffers; the index to the data buffer is stored in a command buffer.

  • Patent number: 11201077
    Abstract: A method includes transferring multiple discrete components from a first substrate to a second substrate, including illuminating multiple regions on a top surface of a dynamic release layer, the dynamic release layer adhering the multiple discrete components to the first substrate, each of the irradiated regions being aligned with a corresponding one of the discrete components. The illuminating induces a plastic deformation in each of the irradiated regions of the dynamic release layer. The plastic deformation causes at least some of the discrete components to be concurrently released from the first substrate.

  • Publication number: 20210316869
    Abstract: The present invention relates, but without limitation, to a system and method for detecting the formation of ice on a surface of a body (1) on which an air stream impinges. Said system comprises: a first and a second temperature detectors (2, 5) with different thermal inertia; and an electro-optic module (10) connected to both detectors (2, 5). Thus, by calculating the different responses of the detectors (2, 5) it is possible to detect the ice formation on a body (1), and more advantageously, the almost instantaneously freezing of supercooled water on a body (1). The present invention can be applied to aircrafts, wind turbines or to electrical power transmission lines.

  • Patent number: 11131106
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for the containment of vertical structures using a flexible, collapsible, and movable shroud. The shroud containment system protects the surrounding environment by catching liquid and solid debris and contaminants from the inside and protects the enshrouded structure and workers from wind, debris, contaminants, and precipitation on the outside as well as providing enhanced protection against falling persons and equipment. The shroud also conceals the vertical structure in whole or in part and greatly eases the setup, takedown, and relocation of the shroud along the axis of the vertical structure due to its modular, impermanent design and method of erection, collapse, and translation.
