摘要： A V-twin engine having a crankcase and a pair of cylinders defining a V-space therebetween, wherein the V-space is substantially enclosed, and a carburetor is positioned within the V-space. An intake air preheating arrangement supplies heated intake air to the carburetor, and a carburetor heating arrangement heats the V-space and the carburetor which is positioned within the V-space. Each of the foregoing arrangements, used separately or in combination within one another, aids in preventing “freeze-up” of the carburetor during running of the engine in a cold environment.

摘要： A method and computer-readable storage representing resources in a cluster by a plurality of attribute-value pairs that together are part of a “resource profile,” in which each attribute-value pair defines all, or a portion of, a management policy that applies to the resource. A clusterware manager configures a resource according to the resource profile, and follows a resource profile syntax that specifies a runtime value for the resource in which an actual value is substituted at runtime.

摘要： A method for offloading computation flexibly to a communication adapter includes receiving a message that includes a procedure image identifier associated with a procedure image of a host application, determining a procedure image and a communication adapter processor using the procedure image identifier, and forwarding the first message to the communication adapter processor configured to execute the procedure image. The method further includes executing, on the communication adapter processor independent of a host processor, the procedure image in communication adapter memory by acquiring a host memory latch for a memory block in host memory, reading the memory block in the host memory after acquiring the host memory latch, manipulating, by executing the procedure image, the memory block in the communication adapter memory to obtain a modified memory block, committing the modified memory block to the host memory, and releasing the host memory latch.

摘要： Techniques are provided for managing caches in a system with multiple caches that may contain different copies of the same data item. Specifically, techniques are provided for coordinating the write-to-disk operations performed on such data items to ensure that older versions of the data item are not written over newer versions, and to reduce the amount of processing required to recover after a failure. Various approaches are provided in which a master is used to coordinate with the multiple caches to cause a data item to be written to persistent storage. Techniques are also provided for managing checkpoints associated with the caches, where the checkpoints are used to determine the position at which to begin processing recovery logs in the event of a failure.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for improving the performance associated with transferring a data item and obtaining a lock in a multi-node system by interpreting the block transfer message as a lock grant message. Typically when a Holder of a data item transfers a data item (e.g. block) to a Requestor of that data item, the Holder will down-convert its lock for that data item and send a message to the Master of this data item indicating that a down-convert has been performed. Subsequently, the Master sends a lock grant message to the Requestor of the data item to inform the Requestor that it has been granted a lock for the data item. By interpreting the block transfer message as a lock grant message, the down-convert message and the lock grant message can be eliminated, which results in improved performance.

摘要： A roll to roll machine which incorporates the features of using a video camera and monitor to locate the intersection of the sewing needle and material and create a visual image of this intersection so that a remote operator can create a pattern of thread sewn into the material as the material passes from one or more feed rollers to a pickup roller. The movement of the vertically oriented U-shaped frame which carries the sewing machine head is controlled by one process controller while the sewing and stitching functions of the sewing machine head is controlled by a second process controller.

摘要： An automatic quilting machine for use in stitching individual selected patterns into a large fabric such as a bedspread or quilt. The bedspread or quilt is stretched on a large metal frame which is mounted on a table which can be moved in the X-direction, the Y-direction, or any X-Y combination direction. The sewing machine head is mounted on a cross beam which is aligned at the approximate center point of the metal frame on which the fabric is stretched. The needle of the sewing machine head can stitch a pattern into any location in the fabric and the metal frame is moved in any direction relative to the fixed sewing machine head in order to bring the desired stitch location on the fabric into alignment with the sewing machine head. The pattern can be created through reading by a scanner which then converts the pattern into machine readable language which is stored in a process controller. Alternatively, the pattern can be hand drawn on a monitor by graphic systems such as a mouse combined with computer aided design programs which provide graphic menus and through which the drawn pattern can be converted into machine readable language which is then stored in the memory of a process controller. The stored pattern can be subsequently stitched into the fabric through commands from the process controller which direct a remote control apparatus to move the table in the desired direction to create the pattern.

摘要： An automatic quilting machine for use in stitching individual selected patterns into a large fabric such as a bedspread or quilt. The bedspread or quilt is stretched on a large metal frame which is mounted on a table which can be moved in the X-direction, the Y-direction, or any X-Y combination direction, either through a manually operated automatic joystick or mouse or through an automatic remote control directed by a computer. The sewing machine function is controlled by one computer connected to the sewing machine head and the quilting table motion in the X-direction, Y-direction, and X-Y direction is controlled by a separate computer. When it is desired to change a sewing machine computer function such as a stitch or accessory functions such as trim, the sewing machine computer can be independently reprogrammed. When it is desired to change the pattern, the separate computer controlling the X-Y table movement direction can be independently reprogrammed. It is not necessary to reprogram both funcions which is an enormous task. Instead, only one of the functions needs to be reprogrammed, thereby greatly simplifying the process.

摘要翻译： 一种自动绗缝机，用于将各种选定图案拼接成大面料如床罩或被子。 床罩或被子被拉伸在大的金属框架上，该金属框架安装在可以通过手动操作的自动操纵杆或鼠标在X方向，Y方向或任何XY组合方向上移动的桌子上，或通过 由计算机执行的自动遥控。 缝纫机功能由连接缝纫机头的一台电脑控制，X方向，Y方向和X-Y方向的绗缝台运动由单独的计算机控制。 当想要改变缝纫机的计算机功能如针迹或诸如修剪的附件功能时，可以独立地重新编程缝纫机计算机。 当需要改变图案时，可以独立地重新编程控制X-Y台移动方向的分立计算机。 没有必要重新编程这两个功能，这是一项巨大的任务。 相反，只需要重新编程一个功能，从而大大简化了过程。
