Abstract: A fuel tank containing a fuel and oil mixture is managed to determine if the fuel and oil mixture contains the correct ratio for a motor. The fuel tank containing a fuel and oil mixture is monitored. A fuel to oil ratio is selected for the motor. A combined viscosity of the fuel and oil mixture is calculated with respect to the fuel to oil ratio, and the temperature of the fuel and oil mixture. The combined viscosity is used to determine a predetermined range of the combined viscosity. The viscosity of the fuel and oil mixture within the fuel tank is measured as a measured viscosity. If the measured viscosity of the fuel and oil mixture does not correspond with the predetermined range, then a user may be alerted that the measured viscosity does not correspond with the predetermined range.

Abstract: To provide for a physical security mechanism that forms a complete envelope of protection around the cryptographic module to detect and respond to an unauthorized attempt at physical access, a tamper sensing encapsulant generally encapsulates the cryptographic module. The tamper sensing encapsulant includes a first shape actuation layer associated with an electrically conductive first trace element and a second shape actuation layer associated with an electrically conductive second trace element. The first shape actuation layer is positioned against the second shape actuation layer such that the first trace element and the second trace element do not physically touch at an operating temperature of the cryptographic module and do physically touch when the first shape actuation layer and the second shape actuation layer are thermally loaded. Upon first trace element and the second trace element touching, a circuit is formed that disables the cryptographic module.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for failure detection in a storage system. One embodiment provides a method for failure detection in a storage system. The method includes determining an amount of data received by a plurality of switches in the storage system within a predetermined time window so as to obtain a plurality of data amounts; determining a count of check errors detected by the plurality of switches in the data to obtain a plurality of check error counts; and calculating a failure risk for the plurality of switches based on the plurality of data amounts and the plurality of check error counts. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a corresponding apparatus.

Abstract: Supplemental instruction dispatch may be used in some instances in a parallel slice processor to dispatch additional instructions, referred to as supplemental instructions, to supplemental instruction ports of execution slices and using primary instruction ports of one or more execution slices to supply one or more source operands for such supplemental instructions. In addition, in some instances, in lieu of or in addition to supplemental instruction dispatch, selective slice partitioning may be used to selectively partition groups of execution slices in a parallel slice processor based upon a threading mode within which such execution slices are executing.

Abstract: Method for removing bubbles from a molten substrate. The molten substrate from a furnace passes through a downtube to reach additional manufacturing tools, such as an extrusion bushing. One or more ultrasonic sensors are arranged along the downtube. The ultrasonic sensor(s) transmit ultrasonic energy into the molten substrate and measure a characteristic of the ultrasonic energy, such as a propagation time for the ultrasonic energy to be reflected back to the ultrasonic sensor(s). A bubble is detected when a change in the Characteristic of the ultrasonic energy is detected. When a bubble is detected, flow through the downtube is diverted to a duct to remove a slug of molten substrate that includes the bubble.

Abstract: A thermal interface material (TIM) includes a modified release layer having an organosilane-coated surface covalently bound to a TIM formulation layer. The modified release layer may be formed by applying an organosilane (e.g., vinyltriethoxysilane) to the surface of a thermally conductive release layer (e.g., aluminum foil). The organosilane reacts with hydroxyl groups on the surface of the thermally conductive release layer. The TIM formulation layer may be formed by applying a TIM formulation (e.g., a graphite TIM formulation) containing an unsaturated monomer (e.g., methyl acrylate) to the organosilane-coated surface of the modified release layer, and then curing the TIM formulation so that the unsaturated monomer of the TIM formulation reacts with the organosilane-coated surface of the modified release layer.

Abstract: A method includes measuring a leakage current through a particulate matter sample in a humidity chamber, the leakage current is measured as a relative humidity in the humidity chamber is incrementally increased, and plotting a logarithm of the measured leakage current as a function of the relative humidity. The plot of the logarithm of the measured leakage current as a function of the relative humidity has an inversion region, a low relative humidity region, and a high relative humidity region.
