Abstract:
A screw (10) has a threaded shank (12) and a head (14). The head has a recess (18) that comprises three lobes (18a,b,c). Each lobe is separated by a curved drive flange (20a,b,c,). A driver (100) has a drive tip (114) that fits the recess of the screw.
Abstract:
A tool that enables a user to perform instruction operand tracing during debug is presented. While executing microcode on a simulator, a history of register and memory values is saved. A graphic user interface uses these values to present a view of the microcode in a thread history. The user can use the thread history to select any given cycle time of the simulation, and switch over to a thread window (or code list view). The instruction that executed at the cycle of interest is marked in the code list view, and right-clicking on the code line, the user is given options, including an option to jump backward in time to the code line where a source variable was set and/or the option to jump forward in time to a code line that used a result variable.
Abstract:
Automated electronic document design systems and methods for combining identified images and layouts into electronic product templates for displaying to a user. A plurality of images and a plurality of layouts are retained. Stored images are identified based on keyword input by the user. Stored layouts contain one or more image containers and are identified based on product type and number of layout images input by the user. Images and layout image containers are designed to use pre-determined standard sizes to facilitate modularity and the ready combination of images and layouts.
Abstract:
Some embodiments relate to methods and processes for determining how a range of weather conditions can affect a selected physical parameter of a material. In some embodiments the weather conditions can include relative humidity and/or temperature, and the selected physical parameter can be mass and or dimensions. For instance, some embodiments can be used to estimate the amount of water that a material may be expected to absorb under in-service conditions. In some embodiments the amount of water can defined by a range bounded by amounts observed at opposing extremes of simulated conditions.
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed to a plastic composition for use on an automotive vehicle including an infrared reflective pigment, and a thermoplastic component. The plastic composition with the infrared reflective component therein increases reflectance by at least about 300% in the spectrum between about 750 nm and about 2500 nm wavelength over a color matched plastic composition containing no infrared reflective pigment, and provides a delta T of at least about 15 C. over a color matched plastic composition containing no infrared reflective pigment under the procedures set forth in the ASTM Standard D 4803-97 test method. The plastic composition also provides a method of reducing the heat build-up of a plastic automotive vehicle part when the plastic automotive vehicle part is exposed to an infrared radiation source.
Abstract:
A ruggedized mobile computing system for a motor vehicle includes a ruggedized mobile computing device, which can be mounted in the trunk or other convenient location, and a suitable user interface system, such as a display screen, keyboard, etc., mounted in the vehicle cabin. The computing device can accommodate user-removable, plug-in electronic modules that perform specialized processing, communications, control or other specialized tasks relating in some way to the vehicle mission or purpose. The device has a ruggedized enclosure made of a durable material such as sheet metal or high-impact plastic. The enclosure can include a guard that protects cables extending from the front panel from being damaged or inadvertently removed. Cooling and warming systems can be included that maintain the enclosure environment within suitable operating temperatures in hot or cold weather. Some or all of the electronic or electromechanical elements, such as a disk drive, can be mounted with isolation mounts that protect them against harmful effects of mechanical shock and vibration.
Abstract:
A debugger tool that enables a user to set history marks at selected points in time in a simulation history and to navigate the history marks.
Abstract:
Provided is a method, system, and program for navigating breakpoints in a program in a debugging mode. A user interface is rendered to display at least one program corresponding to at least one object file being executed in a debugging mode. A list is maintained of breakpoints in the at least one program. Code is rendered from one program including a selected first breakpoint. User input is received to access a second breakpoint and a selection is made from the list of the second breakpoint in one of the program. Code is rendered from one program including the selected second breakpoint
Abstract:
A processor code debugger method and system enables the setting at one time of breakpoints corresponding to a given line of source code associated with an instruction in multiple processing engines.
