    摘要: A simplified and downsized coupling position switching mechanism capable of transmitting reliably and smoothly the driving force of the drive unit to the slide metal frame to switchably change a coupling position between the slide metal frame and the drive unit in the sliding nozzle apparatus. A coupling portion in the slide metal frame protrudes on the side of the drive unit and allows a rod head of the drive unit to be coupled thereto, and the coupling portion has a coupling space allows the rod head to be disposed movably in a sliding direction of the slide metal frame. A separator is inserted into the coupling space to divide the coupling space into first and second coupling chambers in the sliding direction of the slide metal frame. The coupling portion has a fitting section for allowing the separator to be fitted thereinto when it is inserted into the coupling space.

    摘要: The backpack frame includes a substantially polygon main member with a set of horizontally-oriented-oval-shaped slots and a set of vertically-oriented-oval-shaped slots. At least some of the set of vertically-oriented-oval-shaped slots separate the horizontally-oriented oval-shaped slots. The substantially polygon main member includes a top end and a bottom end, the bottom end forming an obtuse angle with the top end, the bottom end including a set of mounting tabs disposed in a substantially perpendicular direction thereto. Each of the set of mounting tabs has a set of oval-shaped-slots and at least one circular slot. In one example the substantially polygon main member of the backpack frame has three top sides forming three sides forming a substantially octagon shape. Reinforcement brackets can be fastened by any fastening means to at least two of the three sides of the substantially octagon shape include a reinforcement bracket.

    摘要: A processing system server, computer program product, and methods for performing asynchronous data store operations. The server includes a processor which maintains a cache of objects in memory of the server. The processor executes an asynchronous computation to determine the value of an object. In response to receiving a request for the object occurring before the asynchronous computation has determined the value of the object, a value of the object is returned from the cache. In response to receiving a request for the object occurring after the asynchronous computation has determined the value of the object, a value of the object determined by the asynchronous computation is returned. The asynchronous computation may comprise at least one future, such as a ListenableFuture, or a process or thread. The asynchronous computation may determine the value of the object by querying at least one additional server. The asynchronous computation may receive different values from at least two servers, and may return the value received most frequently, or may determine the value of the object based on time stamps.

    摘要: A method for fabricating transistors comprises forming a fin above a semiconductor substrate; forming an isolation region with a dielectric material, the top surface of the isolation dielectric below the top of fin surface; depositing a dummy gate layer above the isolation region and surrounding the fin, a dummy gate hardmask layer on top of the dummy gate layer, a first hardmask material on top of the dummy gate hardmask layer above the fin and a second hardmask material on top of the dummy gate hardmask layer above the isolation region, the first hardmask material having a greater lateral etch than the second hardmask material; applying a gate patterning mask spaced equidistantly apart on top of the first and second hardmask materials; and etching the transistor to simultaneously form narrow active gates above and surrounding the fin and wide dummy gates above the isolation region.

    摘要: A query processor determines if an initial query results in a query system having a search engine coupled to a database to identify a limited maximum number of records deliverable by the query system. This limitation is indicative of an incomplete result because records are includable in the query may not be included in the result. In response the query processor generates a plurality of queries that cause the query system to generate results that identify less than the maximum number. The results of the plurality of queries are combined as a response to the initial query. Duplicate records caused by any overlap in the plurality of queries may be eliminated from the combination. Determining a median value of a query range that causes the query system to deliver the maximum number of records may be utilized in the generation of the plurality of queries.

    摘要: A method, information processing system, and computer readable storage medium, periodically monitor, with a processing system, information related to an application's memory usage including a maximum heap memory size, an in use heap memory size, and a garbage collection activity level. Based on determining that the garbage collection activity level is below a first threshold, estimating an amount of memory that can be released from the application by reducing the maximum heap memory size. Based on determining that the estimated amount of memory that can be released from the application is above a second threshold, attempting to release memory from the application.
