20110255918	PAVING MACHINE CONTROL AND METHOD - A control and a method of control for a machine that applies a material to a subgrade at a work site and pulls a floating screed, having a screed plate, over the top surface of the material behind the machine is useful in paving with asphalt material. The floating screed is attached to the machine by a tow arm at a tow point on said tow arm. The vertical height of the tow point is controlled by an hydraulic cylinder on said machine in response to a valve control signal applied to an hydraulic valve by a valve control drive. The screed determines the thickness of the material on the subgrade and is manipulated by adjusting the height of the tow point. A first sensor is mounted on the floating screed for sensing three-dimensional position. A second sensor for senses the pitch of said screed. A processor circuit is responsive to the first and second sensors for determining the height of the trailing edge of the screed plate and the movement of the screed over the top surface of the material. An adjusted height error value is combined with a tow point correction value produced by a three dimensional positioning system to provide for adjustment of the tow point by no more than a predetermined amount as the screed plate travels a predetermined minimum distance.	10-20-2011

20130017079	DEBRIS BLOWING AND/OR VACUUM APPLIANCEAANM ARMSTRONG; JonathanAACI OakenshawAACO GBAAGP ARMSTRONG; Jonathan Oakenshaw GBAANM Hill; StephenAACI Wotton-under-EdgeAACO GBAAGP Hill; Stephen Wotton-under-Edge GBAANM Stones; KevinsAACI Bishop AucklandAACO GBAAGP Stones; Kevins Bishop Auckland GB - A debris blowing and/or vacuum appliance. The appliance comprises a body including a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet for exhausting fluid externally of the body, a volute located in a flowpath between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet and a centrifugal impeller located within the volute and rotatable by a motor to generate a flow of fluid, and a diffuser located immediately downstream of the centrifugal impeller between the centrifugal impeller and a volute outlet region. The diffuser comprises an annular channel surrounding the centrifugal impeller and has substantially constant radial width such that the impeller is radially spaced from the volute walls by at least the width of the diffuser. By providing such an arrangement, the efficiency of the impeller can be improved.	01-17-2013

20130017078	IMPELLER ARRANGEMENTAANM ARMSTRONG; JonathanAACI DurhamAACO GBAAGP ARMSTRONG; Jonathan Durham GBAANM HILL; StephenAACI GloucestershireAACO GBAAGP HILL; Stephen Gloucestershire GB - An impeller arrangement for location for use with a blower and/or vac device, the impeller being rotatable about an axis of rotation and comprising a base, a shroud and a plurality of blades located therebetween, the shroud comprising an impeller inlet defining a passageway to the plurality of blades, a barrier arrangement located adjacent the impeller inlet to restrict airflow between the impeller and its housing. By providing such an arrangement, inlet losses to the impeller can be reduced when compared to known arrangements. The interaction between these components forms a barrier to bleeding of the airflow away from the inlet, reducing the likelihood of air passing between the impeller and its housing and improving the inlet efficiency of the impeller.	01-17-2013

20090147557	3D CHIP ARRANGEMENT INCLUDING MEMORY MANAGER - Systems, apparatuses and methods involving centralized memory management capable of allocating and de-allocating memory for all subsystems dynamically. One embodiment involves a base substrate, a logic die(s) on the base substrate and having a subsystem(s), a memory die(s) having a memory module(s), a memory management unit, a first data interface connecting the memory management unit with the at least one logic die, a second data interface connecting the memory management unit with the at least one memory die, a configuration interface connecting the memory management unit with the at least one memory die, where the configuration interface includes face-to-face connections, a control interface connecting the memory management unit with the at least one logic die, where the memory die(s) and the logic die(s) are arranged in a stacked configuration on the base substrate, and the memory management unit is adapted for managing memory accesses from the subsystem(s) by negotiating an allowed memory access with the subsystem(s) via the control interface and configuring the at least one memory module according to the allowed memory access via the configuration interface.	06-11-2009
20100058016	METHOD, APPARATUS AND SOFTWARE PRODUCT FOR MULTI-CHANNEL MEMORY SANDBOX - A method, apparatus, and software product allow signalling toward a multi-channel memory subsystem within an application processing architecture, and routing of that signalling via a single sandbox which provides memory protection by controlling memory usage and blocking the signalling if it is unauthorized. The signalling via the sandbox leads to a plurality of different memory locations, and the sandbox is an intermediary for substantially all execution memory accesses to the multi-channel memory subsystem.	03-04-2010
20100058025	METHOD, APPARATUS AND SOFTWARE PRODUCT FOR DISTRIBUTED ADDRESS-CHANNEL CALCULATOR FOR MULTI-CHANNEL MEMORY - A method, apparatus, and computer program product are used for reading from a table that splits a plurality of physical addresses between a plurality of channels. One of the physical addresses is determined based at least partly on a virtual address used by an execution device such as the hardware environment, and based at least partly on information about a channel. Then, the physical address is provided to the execution device.	03-04-2010
20100231286	Thermal Sensors For Stacked Dies - The invention relates to a method for obtaining temperature values from at least two thermal sensors arranged on resources within a three-dimensional die structure determining at least a partial three-dimensional temperature distribution for said die structure and controlling activity of said resources of said dies in response to said three-dimensional temperature distribution.	09-16-2010
20130198434	Apparatus and Method to Provide Cache Move With Non-Volatile Mass Memory System - A method includes, in one non-limiting embodiment, receiving a command originating from an initiator at a controller associated with a non-volatile mass memory coupled with a host device, the command being a command to write data that is currently resident in a memory of the host device to the non-volatile mass memory; moving the data that is currently resident in the memory of the host device from an original location to a portion of the memory allocated for use at least by the non-volatile mass memory; and acknowledging to the initiator that the command to write the data to the non-volatile mass memory has been executed. An apparatus configured to perform the method is also described.	08-01-2013
