Abstract:
An aqueous emulsion system substantially or completely devoid of an oil phase. The aqueous emulsion can be used as a platform to solubilize poorly water-soluble chemical compounds for use in a variety of fields, including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, skin care, personal care, food, and industrial arenas. The aqueous emulsion can be delivered to a human or animal via a variety of modes to treat a diverse number of ailments, such as a topical composition to promote hair growth or treat skin disorders. Stable and transparent formulations of the aqueous nano-emulsions described herein can be used to treat and/or prevent hair loss, to treat warts and cold sores, or to treat varicose veins.
Abstract:
A transaction request passes from an initiator through interconnect paths and a routing ID indicating the interconnect paths is prepended. A temporary ID is assigned to the routing ID, the transaction request with the temporary ID is sent to a target device, and a response having the temporary ID is received. The routing ID is retrieved using the target ID, and the response with the retrieved routing ID is sent to the initiator.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for trace multicast across a bus structure are provided. Preferably, the bus structure is that of a System-on-a-Chip (SoC), where the SoC includes a number of master components and a number of slave components connected via the bus structure. The bus structure supports a trace multicast feature. In one embodiment, the bus structure receives a bus transaction from a master component and, in response, outputs the bus transaction to a corresponding slave port. In addition, the bus structure determines whether a trace multicast is desired for the bus transaction. If a trace multicast is desired, the bus structure generates an additional bus transaction having one or more transaction attributes that include a translated version of the bus transaction and outputs the additional bus transaction to a trace slave port of the bus structure. The trace multicast feature provides a non-invasive mechanism for driver-level trace.
Abstract:
A novel handgun support includes a vertically adjustable stand and horizontally adjustable shoulder support that are pivotally mounted together with a handgun holder fixedly mounted on the top end. The assistance in holding a handgun from two directions greatly increases the steadiness in aiming a handgun in target shooting.
Abstract:
A cleat arrangement is configured for use with an article of footwear comprises a receptacle, a cleat, and a retaining ring. The receptacle is provided in the sole of the footwear. The cleat includes a projecting member and a retaining surface. The retaining surface is configured to fit within the receptacle with the projecting member extending from the receptacle. The retaining ring fits over the cleat and engages the retaining surface of the cleat positioned within the receptacle and the projecting member of the cleat extending through the retaining ring. The retaining ring releasably engages the receptacle such that the retaining ring holds the cleat within the receptacle.
Abstract:
Memory controllers, systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for applying a page management policy(ies) based on stream transaction information are disclosed. In one embodiment, a memory controller is provided and configured to receive memory access requests for stream transactions. The memory controller is configured to perform a memory access to a memory page(s) in memory included in the stream transaction. The controller is further configured to apply a page management policy(ies) to the memory page(s) in memory based on information related to the stream transactions. In this manner, the page management policy(ies) can be configured to utilize page open policies for efficiency that stream transactions may facilitate, but while also recognizing and taking into consideration in the page management policy latency issues that can arise when the memory controller is handling memory access requests from different devices.
Abstract:
Devices, systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for arbitrating stream transactions based on information related to the stream transactions are disclosed. A stream transaction is a superset of burst access types to facilitate efficient bulk transfers of data. In one embodiment, an arbiter is provided that arbitrates bus transactions between a plurality of devices coupled to a bus competing for resources accessible through the bus. To efficiently arbitrate stream transactions requested on the bus, the arbiter is configured to use information related to the stream transactions to provide a view of future bus traffic on the bus. The arbiter is configured to use this stream transaction information to apply bus arbitration policies for arbitrating stream transactions. In this example, the bus arbitration policy can be adjusted for stream transactions based on the stream transaction information, if necessary, for the arbiter to attempt to meet a parameter(s) for completing the stream transactions.
Abstract:
Absorbent articles with carefully controlled stretch properties are disclosed. In particular, the articles exhibit stretch not only in the lateral direction but also in the longitudinal direction. Specifically, the articles have a biaxial stretch ratio, which refers to a ratio of stretch along the hip circumference of the article to the amount of stretch in the longitudinal direction, that is from about 1.0 to about 2.5, and particularly from about 1.1 to about 1.5. Absorbent articles made in accordance with the present invention are capable of accommodating a relatively large size range of wearers. The articles also exhibit improved fit and prevent sagging or drooping of the crotch region, even after the crotch region has been wetted.
Abstract:
A cutting platform for use with an agricultural harvesting machine includes at least one platform section having a frame, a plurality of float arms movably coupled with the frame, an endless belt carried by the plurality of float arms, a cutterbar assembly carried by the plurality of float arms, and a plurality of crop ramps extending from the cutterbar assembly. The plurality of crop ramps are movable relative to each other and overly a leading edge of the endless belt. The endless belt and the cutterbar assembly are movable in a localized manner across the cutting platform in upwards and downwards directions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of radially expanding a tubular element extending into a wellbore formed in an earth formation, the tubular element including a first layer and a second layer extending around the first layer, said layers being separable from each other. The method comprises inducing each layer to bend radially outward and in an axially reverse direction so as to form an expanded tubular section extending around a remaining tubular section of the tubular element, wherein each layer has a respective bending zone in which the bending occurs, and increasing the length of the expanded tubular section by inducing the respective bending zones of the layers to move in an axial direction relative to the remaining tubular section. The layers in the respective bending zones are separate from each other so as to define an axial space between the layers.
