A processor core and a method for distributive scoreboard scheduling in an out-of-order processor pipeline. In an embodiment, control logic appends operand availability bits to each instruction. The appended operand availability bits form a distributive scoreboard for each instruction. The appended operand availability bits are propagated together with the instruction through multiple stages of the processor pipeline. An instruction dispatch buffer stores the instruction and the operand availability bits. A dispatch controller determines when an instruction is to be issued. The determination is based, at least in part, on the operand availability bits stored in the instruction dispatch buffer.

A pillow relies on a shell containing two types of fill material, one comparatively smaller, granular, and characterized by a comparatively larger spring constant, and another comparatively larger, more chunky in shape, and characterized by a comparatively smaller spring constant. Below a threshold level of force (or pressure, which is force per unit area) the larger, softer, second fill material resists flow of the smaller, harder, stiffer fill material. However, upon application of a force (or pressure) above some threshold, the mixture of the two fill materials will flow to conform the pillow to the shape of a user. The pillow will then substantially stabilize in that shape in the absence of forces above the threshold level.

Described herein are rules to modify natural mRNAs or to engineer synthetic mRNAs to increase their translation efficiencies. These rules describe modifications to mRNA coding and 3′ UTR sequences intended to enhance protein synthesis by: 1) decreasing ribosomal diversion via AUG or non-canonical initiation codons in coding sequences, and/or 2) by evading miRNA-mediated down-regulation by eliminating one or more miRNA binding sites in coding sequences.

A control device for a vehicle power transmission device including an electrical differential motion portion in which a differential state between input shaft rotation speed and output shaft rotation speed is controlled through control of the operation state of an electric motor linked to a rotating element of a differential motion portion, and a power connection-disconnection device constituting a portion of a power transmission path, includes a controller that lessens a transmission capacity of the power connection-disconnection device if during a switch of the state of the vehicle power transmission device from a non-driving state to a driving state, a change in input torque to the vehicle power transmission device occurs, in comparison with when the change in the input torque does not occur. Therefore, the control device reduces the shift shock when the vehicle power transmission device is switched from the non-driving to the driving state.

The invention discloses a miniature permanent magnet synchronous motor which comprises a stator and a permanent magnet rotor which have equal number of poles. An alternating current source supplies power to the stator through a switch of a control circuit, and an air gap between the stator and the rotor narrows down from one pole to another pole along the rotating direction so that the axis of each pole of the rotor under free state deflects for an acute angle along the rotating direction by taking the axis of the nearest pole of the stator as the reference. A linear magnetic position sensor is installed at a set position on the circumference of the rotor so as to detect the polarity and the position of the rotor; the control circuit determines the axis direction of the permanent magnetic flux of all the poles of the rotor according to the output of the sensor and by taking the set position as the reference. The control circuit detects the polarity of the voltage supplied to the stator by the power source so as to determine the axis direction of the main fluxes generated by all the poles. The switch switches on the power source half-wave when the motor is started and the intersection angle between the axis direction of the main fluxes and the axis direction of the permanent magnetic fluxes is the above acute angle or when the motor runs and the axis direction of the main fluxes is opposite or approximately opposite to the axis direction of the permanent magnetic fluxes. The motor has good starting performance in preset rotating direction and good operational performance and the control structure of the motor is simple and reliable.

The ventilating fan has better performance in the starting and running processes, while the cost is relatively low.

An engine control unit enablement circuit is disclosed that selectively closes a conductive path between a chargeable electrical energy source and electronics of an engine/motor. An engine position sensor provides feedback as to the rotational position of a rotating component of an engine to the enablement circuit. When the rotating component, e.g. crankshaft or flywheel, is rotating, the enablement circuit closes the conductive path and allows the transference of electrical energy from the energy source to the engine and motor electronics. Conversely, when feedback is received indicative of non-rotation of the rotating component, the enablement circuit opens the conductive path. As such, energy stored in the energy source remains stored. With a subsequent detection of rotation of the rotating component, the conductive is closed and the stored energy is allowed to pass to the engine and motor electronics thereby allowing faster powering of the engine and motor electronics.
