Abstract:
Example fluidic devices and methods are described. An example device includes a throughput chamber, an inlet to guide liquid in the throughput chamber and an outlet to guide liquid out of the throughput chamber. The example device also includes a rib that protrudes from a wall of the throughput chamber. The rib has a narrowed section in the throughput chamber between the inlet and the outlet to form a meniscus in the narrowed section.
Abstract:
Print media stacker comprising a ramp to curve printed media over an angle of between 20 and 90 degrees with respect to a media advance direction.
Abstract:
Examples provide data center canopies, data center housings, and data centers including turning vanes to facilitate air flow. In some examples, a data center canopy may include turning vanes to direct portions of an exhaust flow from an exhaust inlet toward floor sections to be output via exhaust outlets opposite the floor sections. Other examples are described and claimed.
Abstract:
An example provides a computing device including an opening including a first magnetic element, and a computing base, comprising a post including a second magnetic element attracted. The post may insert into the opening to facilitate docking the computing device to the computing base, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element to facilitate alignment of the post with the opening.
Abstract:
A system includes a transmitter to multiplex a plurality of modulated optical signals and an unmodulated optical signal and to transmit the plurality of modulated optical signals and the unmodulated optical signal along a transmission path. The system also includes a receiver to de-multiplex each of the plurality of modulated optical signals and the unmodulated optical signal and to demodulate each of the plurality of modulated optical signals with the unmodulated optical signal to coherently detect a modulating signal from each of the plurality of modulated optical signals.
Abstract:
Memory address translations are disclosed. An example memory controller includes an address translator to translate an intermediate memory address into a hardware memory address based on a function, the address translator to select the function based on at least a portion of the intermediate memory address, the intermediate memory address being identified by a processor. The example memory controller includes a cache to store the function in association with an address range of the intermediate memory sector, the intermediate memory address being within the intermediate memory sector. Further, the example memory controller includes a memory accesser to access a memory module at the hardware memory address.
Abstract:
A method performed by a processing system with content display management includes identifying a first added content in a set of added contents that overlap and forming a display image to include the first added content such that a first portion of the first added content is partially transparent with respect to remote content captured by a remote system and a second portion of the first added content is opaque with respect to at least a portion of second added content in the set of added contents.
Abstract:
A battery powered computer system determines when the system is not in use by monitoring various events associated with the operation of the system. The system preferably monitors the number of cache read misses and write operations, i.e., the cache hit rate, and reduces the system clock frequency when the cache hit rate rises above a certain level. When the cache hit rate is above a certain level, then it can be assumed that the processor is executing a tight loop, such as when the processor is waiting for a key to be pressed and then the frequency can be reduced without affecting system performance. Alternatively, the apparatus monitors the occurrence of memory page misses, I/O write cycles or other events to determine the level of activity of the computer system.
Abstract:
A technique is disclosed for selectively scanning or encoding a desired region of a document. The desired region is identified via scannable indicia on a control form. The region may be outlined by a border preprinted on the form or traced by a user. Preset selectable regions may be identified by codes or other textual descriptions on the form. The form is scanned and the instructions selected by the user are encoded. The selected region is identified and scanned. Only the selected region is scanned, or a larger region is scanned and extraneous data not corresponding to the selected region is eliminated from the resulting data set. The technique permits elimination of unwanted portions of a document automatically, the reduction in scanned file size, and straightforward handling of batch scanning tasks in which selected portions of documents are to be scanned and processed.
Abstract:
An example scanner includes a tray, a document feeding member, a document feed error detection sensor, a reading member, and a processor. The processor, in a case where a document feed error is detected by the document feed error detection sensor, is to move the tray between a first position to feed a document, and a second position deviated from the first position, and control the document feeding member to perform a reverse feeding operation of feeding an erroneous document toward the tray. Based on performing the reverse feeding operation, the processor is to move the tray between the second position and the first position and control the document feeding member to perform a re-feeding operation of feeding the erroneous document to the reading member.
