A system and method for automatically adjusting one or more electrical parameters in a memory device, e.g., SRAM arrays. The system and method implements an SRAM sensing sub-array for accelerated collection of fail rate data for use in determining the operating point for optimum tradeoff between single event upset immunity and performance of a primary SRAM array. The accelerated fail rate data is input to an algorithm implemented for setting the SEU sensitivity of a primary SRAM memory array to a predetermined fail rate in an ionizing particle environment. The predetermined fail rate is maintained on a real-time basis in order to provide immunity to SEU consistent with optimum performance.

Disclosed herein is a slide type writing tool having a dryness prevention unit. The writing tool includes a hollow shaft (10) having a nib hole, with shutter shaft seats protruding from the inner wall of the shaft. A cartridge (20) is secured to the shaft. A knock part is inserted into an insert hole formed in the shaft, and a pair of pressing parts is provided on a nib extension shaft of the cartridge. A rear 0-ring (30) surrounds an end of the cartridge. A spherical shutter (40) is held in the rear 0-ring (30), and has a spherical shutter part to isolate a nib from the exterior. A front O-ring (50) contacts the shutter part and the nib hole. A spring contacts at a first end thereof a lower end of a step of the cartridge, and at a second end thereof a step of the rear O-ring (30).

The present invention relates to a shear reinforcement material of a reinforced concrete structure, which is installed in a reinforced concrete structure to increase resistance against shear failure. The truss-type shear reinforcement material having double anchorage functions at both top and bottom thereof is configured by installing double anchor heads on the top and the bottom of a truss (20), which is formed by connecting an upper member (24) with a lower member (26) through connection members (21) such as vertical members (22) or inclined members (23). Therefore, the shear reinforcement material according to the present invention can improve shear resistance, shear reinforcement and ductility, because upper anchor heads (34) and the upper member (24) carry out a double anchorage function on the top while lower anchor heads (44) and the lower member (26) carry out a double anchorage function on the bottom, and furthermore, improves construction quality as building a concrete structure becomes more convenient.

A water skipping article for use by a user in launching the article in a substantially horizontal trajectory and with a specified rotation spin. The article includes a three-dimensional body constructed of a biodegradable material and having a smooth and continuous exterior surface with a substantially circular and smooth edged outer perimeter. The body further includes a side profile defined by upper and lower elliptically extending faces and which converge into the smooth profile of the circular outer perimeter. A hollowed, substantially elliptical and interior cavity is defined in substantially centric and suspended fashion within the body. Upon launching of the water skipping article by the user, the configuration of the interior cavity causes centrifugal forces to be applied in a direction towards the solid outer perimeter of the article and to thereby increase individual incidences of the article contacting the water surface in a skipping fashion.

Various embodiments of methods and systems for energy efficiency aware thermal management in a portable computing device that contains a heterogeneous, multi-processor system on a chip (“SoC”) are disclosed. Because individual processing components in a heterogeneous, multi-processor SoC may exhibit different processing efficiencies at a given temperature, energy efficiency aware thermal management techniques that compare performance data of the individual processing components at their measured operating temperatures can be leveraged to optimize quality of service (“QoS”) by adjusting the power supplies to, reallocating workloads away from, or transitioning the power mode of, the least energy efficient processing components. In these ways, embodiments of the solution optimize the average amount of power consumed across the SoC to process a MIPS of workload.

A computer system may place memory objects in specific memory physical regions based on energy consumption and performance or other policies. The system may have multiple memory regions at least some of which may be powered down or placed in a low power state during system operation. The memory object may be characterized in terms of access frequency, movability, and desired performance and placed in an appropriate memory region. In some cases, the memory object may be placed in a temporary memory region and later moved to a final memory region for long term placement. The policies may allow some processes to operate while consuming less energy, while other processes may be configured to maximize performance.
