| 20100064910 | Hydraulic compactor system having flexible hoses with breakaway couplers - A hydraulic compactor system includes a portable container adapted to be transported by a truck and having a chamber for receiving a waste material to be compacted. The container has a self-contained compacting ram actuated by a hydraulic cylinder, and a remote hydraulic power supply unit is connected to the hydraulic cylinder by flexible hydraulic hoses. Each of the hoses is provided with a breakaway hydraulic coupling having two sections connected by tension releasable coupling means with the sections having spring biased valves which are open when the sections are coupled together and automatically close when the sections separate due to a predetermined tension force on the hoses. Each breakaway coupling compensates for increases in hydraulic fluid pressure to prevent separation of the coupling sections when the fluid pressure increases to actuate the hydraulic compacting cylinder. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20120006363 | COMPACT AND MODULAR ROBOTIC WASH SYSTEM - A compact robotic wash system is provided for cleaning a work piece. The robotic wash system includes an enclosed wash chamber. A robot is fully disposed inside the wash chamber. The robot has a maximum horizontal reach that is at least 40% of the maximum horizontal linear dimension of the wash chamber. The robot may hold a work piece and move the work piece around a plurality of spray devices. Alternately, the robot may hold one or more spray devices, while a work piece is supported on a movable table. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20090309243 | MULTI-CORE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS HAVING ASYMMETRIC PERFORMANCE BETWEEN CORES - An integrated circuit in one embodiment includes asymmetric cores and an asymmetric core control circuit. At least one of the asymmetric cores is a different implementation of substantially the same function or subset of functionality as another core. The asymmetric core control circuit determines a performance parameter of an integrated circuit. The performance parameter may be the workload, the operating frequency, power consumption, quality of service, operating temperature or the like of the integrated circuit or a given portion of the integrated circuit. If the performance parameter is within a first range, the asymmetric core control circuit utilizes a first core to perform a function of the integrated circuit and idles a second core that is a different implementation of substantially the same function. If the performance parameter is within a second range, the core control circuit utilizes the second core to perform the function and idles the first core. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20110213947 | System and Method for Power Optimization - A technique for reducing the power consumption required to execute processing operations. A processing complex, such as a CPU or a GPU, includes a first set of cores comprising one or more fast cores and second set of cores comprising one or more slow cores. A processing mode of the processing complex can switch between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation based on one or more of the workload characteristics, performance characteristics of the first and second sets of cores, power characteristics of the first and second sets of cores, and operating conditions of the processing complex. A controller causes the processing operations to be executed by either the first set of cores or the second set of cores to achieve the lowest total power consumption. | 09-01-2011 |
