Abstract:
Systems and methods of managing workloads provide for detecting a workload for a system having a first processor core with a first performance indicator and a second processor core with a second performance indicator. The workload is scheduled based on the first and second performance indicator settings. In one embodiment, a performance feasibility index is calculated for each core based on the core's frequency setting and utilization and the workload is assigned to the core associated with the highest index.
Abstract:
A box-shaped beach-cleaning trailer is configured to be loaded with, and collectively carry beach-cleaning equipment and a litter collection station. The beach-cleaning equipment are towed by a vehicle to collect litter on the sands. The litter collected by the beach-cleaning equipment is collected in the litter collection station. The trailer includes a pair of rail members disposed on upper edges of the respective opposite side wall portions such that the rail members face each other with an opening therebetween. A sieve unit is detachably mounted on the rail members, and is configured to move a back-and-forth direction along the rail members. The sieve unit is moved in a back-and-forth direction manually; or by using a driving mechanism including a drive wheel, a driven wheel, and a connecting rod arranged between the sieve unit and the driven wheel, for separating colleted litter of various sizes from sand.
Abstract:
An LAC manages multicast destinations, and forms and distributes copies of the multicast packets. An L2TP tunnel and an L2TP session are formed between LAC 1-i and LNS 2-i, and LNS 2-i is connected to network NW2 such as the Internet. Data is transferred between a subscriber and the network through the L2TP connection. LNS 2-i and sever S1 are connected through network NW2 which has routers. A packet transfer apparatus enables LAC 1-i to manage subscriber information and to form and distribute copies of the packets to the subscribers when server S1 on network NW2 distributes multicast packets of a program or the like to the subscribers.
Abstract:
A personal watercraft includes a saddle ride type seat provided at a roughly central portion of a watercraft body, an engine mounted on the lower side of the seat and directed in a front-rear direction of the watercraft body, and cylinders provided in the engine are arranged in the front-rear direction of the watercraft body. First to fourth intake pipes communicated with the cylinders are extended from a side surface of the engine, and an air box containing the intake pipes is provided in a space between the engine and a left side wall. The air box includes a box main body and a cover body, and the cover body is disposed facing toward the left side wall. The left side wall facing toward the cover body is provided with an opening, and a side cover is provided to be capable of being fitted to and detached from the opening. Maintenance or inspection of intake system equipment can be easily carried out with the aforementioned personal watercraft.
Abstract:
Upon receiving a connection request from a terminal, a packet transfer apparatus registers information on the terminal with a memory and forwards information necessary for the authentication of the terminal and an authentication request to an authentication server. The apparatus then receives authentication permission and a multicast group address list associated with the terminal that has made the connection request from the server. The apparatus then associates the multicast group address list received with the terminal information stored in the memory for registration. Upon receiving a participation request from the terminal, the apparatus determines whether or not the group address contained in the participation request is present in the list in the memory. If the group address is present in the list in the memory, the apparatus permits the delivery of a packet to the terminal from a content delivery server and transmits the packet to the terminal.
Abstract:
An air intake structure for a small watercraft is provided, in which the air intake efficiency is improved. A watercraft body 11 includes a hull and a deck for covering on top of the hull. An engine 20 is disposed in the watercraft body 11, and a propeller 30 is driven by a drive shaft 22, extending rearwardly from the engine 20. A turbocharger 24 is provided for pumping air to the engine 20. An air cleaner case 40 is provided for introducing fresh air to the turbocharger 24. The turbocharger 24 is located at the rear of the engine 20, the air cleaner case 40 is located at the front of the engine 20, and a plurality of air ducts 71-73are located at the front of the air cleaner case 40.
Abstract:
A packet transfer apparatus which can switch a communication path for each of a plurality of users using the same L2TP tunnel is provided. Packet transfer apparatuses terminating L2TP contain a table specifying a flow threshold level and a priority level of each subscriber; the amount of packet flow of each subscriber is measured in accordance with the information in the table; if the threshold level is exceeded, the packet communication path is switched in accordance with the priority level specified for each subscriber. The OSPF protocol is used to manage the path information, and the information of a plurality of paths to a destination is stored in a path management table. The path is switched by specifying destination routers with the source routing option in the IP header of a packet after L2TP encapsulation.
Abstract:
An engine intake structure for a small boat arranged in a comparatively small space. The structure includes an intake box having an upper intake section facing one or more intake ports, and a lower intake section extending downwards from the upper intake section. The upper intake section and the lower intake section are partitioned by a mesh member. An air cleaner element is arranged in an extension section of the lower intake section, so that, after external air flows into the lower intake section via the air cleaner element, the air flows to the upper intake section, and then into the intake ports.
Abstract:
A trim operating lever device is disclosed which can downwardly or vertically swing a nozzle capable of adjusting the jet direction of jet water. When the trim operating lever is gripped with a finger of the hand which is gripping the steering handle, a lever of the lever lock means can be substantially simultaneously operated with the finger, to effect locking. Therefore, the number of operations by the left hand necessary for swinging the nozzle is reduced. Also, because the trim operating lever makes it possible to enlarge the operating force, the nozzle can be swung quickly.
Abstract:
A personal watercraft deck structure includes a deck, a rear portion opening provided continuously to the rear of a seat underlying opening in the deck, and a bridge member is removably attached at a boundary between the seat underlying opening and the rear portion opening (or at the rear portion opening). A rear portion of a seat is supported by the bridge member, while the rear portion opening is operatively closed with a rear cover. When maintenance of an engine and other equipment disposed within the deck structure is to be performed, the bridge member may be removed. As a result, the seat underlying opening and the rear portion opening are connected to each other and fully exposed, and therefore, a large opening can be obtained for facilitating maintenance of the engine and other equipment.
