20110023040 | POWER-EFFICIENT INTERACTION BETWEEN MULTIPLE PROCESSORS - A technique for processing instructions in an electronic system is provided. In one embodiment, a processor of the electronic system may submit a unit of work to a queue accessible by a coprocessor, such as a graphics processing unit. The coprocessor may process work from the queue, and write a completion record into a memory accessible by the processor. The electronic system may be configured to switch between a polling mode and an interrupt mode based on progress made by the coprocessor in processing the work. In one embodiment, the processor may switch from an interrupt mode to a polling mode upon completion of a threshold amount of work by the coprocessor. Various additional methods, systems, and computer program products are also provided. | 01-27-2011 |

20090284534 | THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNITS - Some embodiments include a graphics processing with thermal management capabilities. The graphics processing unit may include a display controller, a microprocessing engine coupled to the display controller, and a clock circuit coupled to the display controller and the microprocessing engine. The clock circuit may further include a raw clock signal coupled to the display controller, a divider coupled to the raw clock signal, and a multiplexer coupled to the divider. The divider may generate a divided version of the raw clock signal, which may be coupled to the multiplexer along with the raw clock signal. The multiplexer may selectively provide the raw clock signal and/or the divided version of the clock signal to the microprocessing engine such that the microprocessing engine may receive a timing signal that is independent of operations of the graphics processing unit and result in fewer glitches. | 11-19-2009 |
20100103147 | GRAPHICS CONTROLLERS WITH INCREASED THERMAL MANAGEMENT GRANULARITY - Methods and apparatuses are disclosed that may provide graphics controllers with increased thermal granularity. The graphics controller may comprise a display memory, at least one display engine coupled to the display memory, and at least one execution unit coupled to the display memory, where the at least one execution unit may begin an idle period that varies based upon a thermal event. | 04-29-2010 |

20130264747 | SELF-ASSEMBLY PATTERNING OF ORGANIC MOLECULES ON A SURFACE - The embodiments disclosed herein include all-electron control over a chemical attachment and the subsequent self-assembly of an organic molecule into a well-ordered three-dimensional monolayer on a metal surface. The ordering or assembly of the organic molecule may be through electron excitation. Hot-electron and hot-hole excitation enables tethering of the organic molecule to a metal substrate, such as an alkyne group to a gold surface. All-electron reactions may allow a direct control over the size and shape of the self-assembly, defect structures and the reverse process of molecular disassembly from single molecular level to mesoscopic scale. | 10-10-2013 |

20150040935 | POP IN PONYTAIL EXTENSION DEVICE AND METHOD - A ponytail extension device and methods of using the ponytail extension device are disclosed. The ponytail extension device includes a material layer having a center opening, and a plurality of hair strands attached to a band. The band is attached to the material layer to spiral out, around the center opening, from an interior point of attachment of the band to the material layer to an exterior point of attachment of the band to the material layer, so that the plurality of hair strands extend away from the material layer in concentrically arranged layers. The device further includes a connecting part fixedly attached to at least one of the band, the material layer, and the plurality of hair strands and configured to releasably secure the ponytail extension device to at least one of a scalp and a first section of hair growing from the scalp | 02-12-2015 |

20100235154 | Dynamic Connectivity Analysis - Methods, computer-readable mediums, and systems analyze hydrocarbon production data from a subsurface region to determine geologic time scale reservoir connectivity and production time scale reservoir connectivity for the subsurface region. Compartments, fluid properties, and fluid distribution are interpreted to determine geologic time scale reservoir connectivity and production time scale reservoir connectivity for the subsurface region. A reservoir connectivity model based on the geologic time scale and production time scale reservoir connectivity for the subsurface region is constructed, wherein the reservoir connectivity model includes a plurality of production scenarios each including reservoir compartments, connections, and connection properties for each scenario. Each of the production scenarios is tested and refined based on production data for the subsurface region. | 09-16-2010 |
