20090044676 | POWER TILT ASSEMBLY FOR BAND SAW - A power tilt assembly for a band saw has a power tilt harp plate and a length of silent chain about the harp plate's perimeter. The chain is anchored to the harp plate at each end by a chain tensioner. The column of a blade carrying frame incorporates a tilt motor and a tilt motor shaft to drive a silent chain sprocket around a portion of which the silent chain is looped. A pair of idlers are used to maintain this portion of the silent chain in contact with the sprocket. As the tilt gear motor is actuated, the sprocket moves along the chain thereby moving the column of the blade carrying frame with it. A power tilt brake pad controls incremental movement of the column and a power tilt pointer indicates degree of tilt of the column and the corresponding angle of vertical cut to the machine operator. | 02-19-2009 |
20090071311 | CANTED AND VERTICAL BLADE ASSEMBLY - The present invention provides for a vertical band saw frame assembly comprising a support column having a top and a bottom, the support column having a lower band wheel attached thereto. The band saw frame further provides for a tilt plate having a plurality of apertures attached to the top of the support column and a mounting plate. The tilt plate provides a mounting platform for the upper band wheel, blade tensioning assembly, blade guide, and blade break sensor. In a preferred embodiment, the tilt plate is attachable to the mounting plate in two positions, a first position in vertical alignment with the lower band wheel and a second position in which the upper band wheel further from the support column and at an angle to the first position to create a canted cutting blade angle. | 03-19-2009 |
20110072949 | ROTATING BLADE GUIDE ASSEMBLY - A rotating blade guide assembly includes a blade guide carrier and means for rotating the carrier from a first position to a second position. The support structure for the assembly provides a means of supporting the assembly in both positions while allowing an opening for the band to be inserted without twisting in the first position. The first position would be that blade orientation when the blade is placed about a pair of band wheels. The second position would be the blade orientation when the blade is rotated 90° to a cutting position. In this way, the orientation of the blade is changed when the blade guide carrier is rotated from the first position to the second position. The assembly further provides means for securing the blade guide carrier in the second position to provide accurate alignment and prevent rotation of the carrier during use. | 03-31-2011 |

20090249036 | EFFICIENT METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EMPLOYING A MICRO-OP CACHE IN A PROCESSOR - Methods and apparatus for using micro-op caches in processors are disclosed. A tag match for an instruction pointer retrieves a set of micro-op cache line access tuples having matching tags. The set is stored in a match queue. Line access tuples from the match queue are used to access cache lines in a micro-op cache data array to supply a micro-op queue. On a micro-op cache miss, a macroinstruction translation engine (MITE) decodes macroinstructions to supply the micro-op queue. Instruction pointers are stored in a miss queue for fetching macroinstructions from the MITE. The MITE may be disabled to conserve power when the miss queue is empty-likewise for the micro-op cache data array when the match queue is empty. Synchronization flags in the last micro-op from the micro-op cache on a subsequent micro-op cache miss indicate where micro-ops from the MITE merge with micro-ops from the micro-op cache. | 10-01-2009 |
