Abstract: Twin roll caster for casting metal strip. Metal is delivered through a distributor (18) and delivery nozzle (19) between a pair of casting rolls (16) to form a casting pool (30) supported on rolls (16) and confined by end plates (56). Rolls (16) are rotated to deliver cast strip downwardly from the nip between them. Rolls (16) are mounted on carriers (104) moveable to allow rolls (16) to move bodily toward and away from one another. Biasing units (110, 111) act on the roll carriers (104) to force them against central stops (107) and to provide roll biasing forces. Stops (107) are adjustable to set the width of the nip between the rolls (16). Biasing units (110) comprise biasing springs (112) whereas biasing units (111) comprise hydraulic actuators (113).

Abstract: Physical barriers (210) are present between neighbouring pixels (200) on a circuit substrate (100) of an active-matrix electroluminescent display device, particularly with LEDs (25) of organic semiconductor materials. In order to reduce parasitic capacitance in the circuit substrate, the invention forms these barriers (210) with metal or other electrically conductive material (240) that provides at least part of the signal lines (160) at a higher level than the circuit substrate (100). This conductive barrier material (240) is connected to the matrix circuitry within the substrate (100) but is insulated (40) at least at the sides adjacent to the LEDs (25). Preferably, an inter-capacitance guard line (9) is included in the circuit substrate (100) between the signal lines (160) and the circuitry in the substrate (100).

Abstract: An active matrix electroluminescent (EL) display device has a switching circuit for each display pixel which has a drive transistor (30) and a cascode transistor (32) in series with the associated EL display element (20). The switching circuit is operable in two modes, a first mode in which an input current is sampled by the drive transistor (30) and a second mode in which the drive transistor drives a current corresponding to the input current through the EL display element (20). This configuration uses the same transistor for current sampling as for current driving, thereby avoiding the need for matched transistors. The cascode transistor increases the output impedance and ensures that no voltage fluctuations pass to the drive transistor, so that a constant current supply is maintained.

Abstract: Methods and architectures for performing hardware error handling using coordinated operating system (OS) and firmware services. In one aspect, a firmware interface is provided to enable an OS to access firmware error-handling services. Such services enable the OS to access error data concerning platform hardware errors that may not be directed accessed via a platform processor or through other conventional approaches. Techniques are also disclosed for intercepting the processing of hardware error events and directing control to firmware error-handling services prior to attempting to service the error using OS-based services. The firmware services may correct hardware errors and/or log error data that may be later accessed by the OS or provided to a remote management server using an out-of-band communication channel. In accordance with another aspect, the firmware intercept and services may be performed in a manner that is transparent to the OS.

Abstract translation: 使用协调操作系统（OS）和固件服务执行硬件错误处理的方法和架构。 在一个方面，提供固件接口以使OS能够访问固件错误处理服务。 这样的服务使得OS能够访问有关平台硬件错误的错误数据，这些错误数据可能不会通过平台处理器或其他常规方法被定向访问。 还公开了用于在使用基于OS的服务尝试服务错误之前拦截硬件错误事件的处理以及将控制引导到固件错误处理服务的技术。 固件服务可以纠正OS稍后访问或使用带外通信信道提供给远程管理服务器的硬件错误和/或日志错误数据。 根据另一方面，固件拦截和服务可以以对OS是透明的方式来执行。
