Title: Barrier requests to maintain transaction order in an interconnect with multiple paths
Inventor: RIOCREUX PETER ANDREW
IPC: G06F13/16
Filed: 2010-04-30
Abstract: Components of a data processing system, such as processors and memories, communicate over an interconnect 10. Initiators 20-26 send transaction requests to recipients 30-36. Requests, which are transmitted after a barrier request, are delivered after the barrier request and requests transmitted before the barrier request are delivered before it. When the barrier request reaches a point 41, 42 in the interconnect circuitry where there are divergent paths, the barrier request is duplicated along all the paths. A barrier response is generated from a divergent point when one has been received from all the paths. A barrier response is generated from a convergent node when a barrier request has been received on all paths. Once a barrier response has been received by a node, subsequent requests may be forwarded.

Title: Bullet assembly apparatus
Inventor: PLATTS IAN DAVID
IPC: F42B33/02
Filed: 2013-03-26
Abstract: A cartridge assembly device (1) comprises a base (20) upon which a cartridge case Y filled with powder (propellant) Z. A bullet X is placed in the open end of the cartridge Y. Depressing handle (30) causes sliding shaft 21A to rise causing said case and bullet to move in contact with shaft 11A. The distal end of said shaft 11B is in contact with a spring 15 and a piston 12 moving in a cylinder 13. As the shaft moves upwards the bullet enters the container until it contacts the powder therein. Compressive force then causes pressure in the cylinder to rise and the pressure generated is displayed on the pressure gauge 14. The handle is raised until a desired pressure is achieved. The objective of the device is to ensure consistent compressibility of the propellant powder resulting in uniformity of each cartridge when fired.
