Title: Method and apparatus for maintaining data coherence in a non-uniform compute device
Inventor: Jonathan Curtis Beard
IPC: G06F12/084
Filed: 2017-03-16
Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes one or more host processors with first processing units, one or more caches with second processing unit, a non-cache memory having a third processing unit and a reorder buffer operable to maintain data order during execution of a program of instructions. An instruction scheduler routes instructions to the processing units. Data coherence is maintained by control logic that blocks access to data locations in use by a selected processing unit other than the selected processing unit until data associated with the data locations are released from the reorder buffer. Data stored in the cache is written to the memory if it is already in a modified state, otherwise the state is set to the modified state. A memory controller may be used to restrict access to memory locations to be operated on.

Title: Electromagnetic apparatus for active intervention to molten pool shape
Inventor: JIANZHONG ZHOU
IPC: C23C24/10
Filed: 2020-04-28
Abstract: Bench 1, for a workpiece, has a rotating electromagnetic field which can induce current in a molten pool on the workpiece, to change the size and shape of the melted pool. A rotating metal rod (figure 3; 9, figure 4) is in electrical connection with upper and lower metal rings 2-1, 2-2; and an AC power source. A motor (7, figure 3) can rotate the metal rod (figure 3; 9, figure 4) to generate a spinning toroidal magnetic field, which acts perpendicularly on an outer surface of the molten weld pool, thereby changing the height, depth and width of the liquid pool. Induced current within the molten pool can generate Lorentz forces, which can inwardly compress the outer surface of the pool, to change the pool shape; e.g., reducing pool depth but increasing the width. Laser cladding, laser welding, laser melt injection and laser melting pool dimensions can be altered.

Title: Methods and apparatus to define stages for multi-variate batch control analytics
Inventor: STEVE MURRAY
IPC: G05B19/418
Filed: 2016-09-14
Abstract: A current stage in a current batch process is identified based on process control data associated with process parameters, and independently of batch events such as a start or end of procedures, operations, or phases in a batch recipe. A model corresponding to the current stage is applied to the current batch process. The model is generated 514 for each stage by retrieving control data from previous batch processes 504 and, for each previous process, using the data to detect a beginning of that stage based on when the data first meets user-specified definitions of that stage 506 and detecting an ending when those definitions are no longer met 508, and analysing the data between the beginning and end 510. The current stage may be determined based on user-specified definitions associated with the process parameters or may correspond to a portion of the process associated with a particular interaction of the process parameters.

Title: Variable-flow-channel water-hammer-prevention air valve and design method therefor
Inventor: HUICHAO DAI
IPC: G06F30/17
Filed: 2021-04-13
Abstract: A variable-flow-channel water-hammer-prevention air valve, comprising a valve body (2) having an air intake/exhaust port (204) in the top, wherein a ball valve seat (3) and a floating ball (4) are arranged below the air intake/exhaust port (204); the valve body (2) is provided with at least one swing check valve (6) capable of being opened inwards; and the swing check valve (6) comprises: a swing valve flap (602) connected to a valve body hinge (601), a variable-flow-channel air inlet (603) controlled by the swing valve flap (602) to open or close, means (604) for limiting the opening degree of the swing valve flap, and sealing means (605). According to the air valve, air intake is achieved via the air intake/exhaust port and the variable flow channel during air intake, and air exhaust is achieved only via the air intake/exhaust port during air exhaust, such that the area of an air intake/exhaust flow channel is changed so as to achieve rapid air intake and slow air exhaust, which solves the problem of an uncertain closing procedure of a restrictor ring under stress caused by strong three-dimensional characteristics during air exhaust, and also solves the problem of an instable spring acting force. By means of the air valve, the inflow area and outflow area can be set as desired according to a numerical simulation result, which can conveniently meet design requirements.
