Filed:

Mar 27, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/108042

Inventors:

Jerry Coffin - San Clemente CA, US
Thomas Reynolds - Canajoharie NY, US
Troy Rhett - Albany NY, US

International Classification:

E01H005/06

US Classification:

037/266000

Abstract:

A plow edge and a plow flap, for example, a snow plow edge and a snow plow flap, having improved durability and performance compared to prior art metallic or elastomeric edges or flaps. The plow edge and plow flap are fabricated from an elastomeric material, for example, a cord-reinforced elastomeric material. According to one aspect of the invention, the cord-reinforced elastomeric materials are elongated members fabricated from tire parts, for example, used treads from pneumatic tires. Tire treads having integral reinforcing cords, for example, metallic or polymer cords or belts provide enhanced strength and durability. The plow edges and flaps may be used on plows for transferring many types of media along a surface, for example, gravel, sand, water, or other liquids, but in one aspect of the invention, the edges and flaps are used for snow plows.

International Classification:

Abstract:

A process for fabricating cord-reinforced-rubber structural materials from used tires and a cord-reinforced-rubber structural material. The process includes the following steps for handling and treating the tires: removing the side walls from the tires; removing at least some of the tread material from the tire to provide an essentially uniform tread thickness; cutting the tires in a transverse direction to provide elongated strips of tire material having at least some inherent curvature; removing at least some of the inherent curvature by compressing the strips to at least about 100 psi and heating the strips to at least 200 degrees F to remove at least some of the inherent curvature; mating the strips with a gum rubber adhesive; and bonding the strips and gum rubber adhesive by compressing them to about 100 psi and heating them to at least 200 degrees F. By removing at least some of the inherent curvature the strips of rubber material are more easily handled during subsequent processing. The structural materials produced typically take the form of boards and planks, but may used for fabricating other structures such as panels, walls, and bulkheads, among other things.

International Classification:

G06F 13/40

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for efficient scaling of fabric architectures such as those based on PCIe technology, including up to very large fabrics and numbers of hosts/devices for use in ultra-high performance applications such as for example data centers and computing clusters. In one aspect, methods and apparatus for using Non-Transparent Bridge (NTB) technology to export Message Signaled Interrupts (MSIs) to external hosts are described. In a further aspect, an IO Virtual Address (IOVA) space is created is used as a method of sharing an address space between hosts, including across the foregoing NTB(s). Additionally, a Fabric Manager (FM) entity is disclosed and utilized for programming e.g., PCIe switch hardware to effect a desired host/fabric configuration.

Inventors:

- San Diego CA, US
Jerry Coffin - San Diego CA, US
Andy White - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/06

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided for performing write-with-response operations in a network on a chip architecture. In response to receiving an instruction to perform a write-with-response operation, a writer computing resource of a computing system (implemented using the network on a chip architecture) executes this instruction by performing a write operation for writing data to a memory location followed by a response operation for notifying a notification target computing resource of the computing system that the data has been written to the memory location.

G06F 12/10

Abstract:

Systems and methods to be used by a processing element from among multiple computing resources of a computing system, where communication between the computing resources is carried out based on network on a chip architecture, to send first data from memory registers of the processing element and second data from memory of the computing system to a destination processing element from among the multiple computing resources, by sending the first data to a memory controller of the memory along with a single appended-read command.
