The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for modeling thermal effects within a multi-laser device. For example, systems described herein may include a plurality of laser devices that output energy streams having corresponding operating windows. One or more systems described herein may include a set of accumulators for tracking quantities of energy samples within operating windows and populating a queue representative of the tracked quantities. One or more systems described herein may additionally include filters and a summing module for determining temperature values for operating windows and synchronizing the temperature values with one another to determine an accurate system temperature for the multi-laser device. The features described herein facilitate synchronization of data for corresponding operating windows to provide an accurate determination of system temperature based on a combination of self-heating and crosstalk effects between multiple laser devices.

Modeling thermal effects for a laser system

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing improved cache structures and methods that are optimally sized to support a predetermined range of late stage adjustments and in which image data is intelligently read out of DRAM and cached in such a way as to eliminate re-fetching of input image data from DRAM and minimize DRAM bandwidth and power. The systems and methods can also be adapted to work with compressed image data and multiple LSR processing engines.

No miss cache structure for real-time image transformations with multiple LSR processing engines

Hardware accelerated synchronization of data movement across multiple direct memory access (DMA) engines is provided using techniques in which the order of descriptor processing is guaranteed for scenarios involving a single CPU and multiple DMA engines as well as those involving multiple CPUs and multiple DMA engines.

Direct memory access descriptor processing using timestamps

Direct memory access ('DMA') descriptor processing using identifiers assigned to descriptors on DMA engines

Techniques for post-rendering image transformation including outputting an image frame including a plurality of first pixels by sequentially generating and outputting multiple color component fields including a first color component field and a second color component field by applying one or more two-dimensional (2D) image transformations to at least one portion of the plurality of source pixels by first, second, and third image transformation pipelines, to generate transformed pixel color data for the first color component field and the second color component field.

An improved process for separating and isolating individual polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) on the basis of degree of polymerization. A liquid sample containing polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) is introduced into a liquid chromatography (LC) column packed with a polar bonded stationary chromatographic phase. The individual polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) are separated via a binary mobile phase elution. One or more individual fractions containing the monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) are eluted. The polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) may be proanthocyanidins, hydrolyzable tannins, oligosaccharides, oligonucleotides, peptides, acrylamides, polysorbates, polyketides, poloxamers, polyethylene glycols, polyoxyethylene alcohols or polyvinyl alcohols. The binary mobile phase comprises an A phase consisting essentially of a polar aprotic solvent and a B phase consisting essentially of a polar protic solvent. A process for separating and isolating xanthine(s) (e.g., caffeine and theobromine) from polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s). A liquid sample containing xanthine(s) and polar protic monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s) is introduced into an LC column packed with a polar bonded stationary chromatographic phase. The xanthines are separated via an isocratic mobile phase elution, and one or more individual fractions containing the xanthines are eluted.

The present invention is a putter guide for guiding a putter blade during a putting stroke. A first elongate member has a first end and a second end. The second end defines an aperture extended therein. A second elongate member has a first end and a second end. The second end defines an aperture therein. A unitary member has a first end and a second end. Each end of the unitary member has an outer dimension sized to frictionally fit into the apertures of the second ends of the first and second elongate members. Both the first and second elongate members and the unitary member are formed of flexible cellular polyethylene.

Putting guide

The present invention relates to a vacuum apparatus in combination with a stove for burning combustible materials, such as cordwood or wood pellets, comprising a combustion chamber in which the material is burned, a stove housing separate but operatively connected to the combustion chamber, and a vacuum apparatus located in the stove housing. The vacuum apparatus comprised of a motor, a housing, a seal plate, a cover plate, a bag cage, vacuum bag, and a hose is used to remove ash, debris, and other combusted material residue from the combustion chamber, thereby maintaining the stove in a clean condition. A vacuum hose installed in the vacuum apparatus transports the combusted material residue from the combustion chamber and surrounding areas into a vacuum bag in the vacuum apparatus. A method for installing a vacuum is also disclosed.

Vacuum wood stove apparatus and method

A putter guide is provided for guiding a putter blade during a putting stroke. A first elongate member has a first end and a second end. The second end has an aperture extending into the second end. A second elongate member also has a first and second end. The second end of the second elongate member also has an aperture extending into the second end. A unitary accordion member has a first end and a second end. Each end has a protruding knuckle sized to be frictionally fit into the apertures of the second ends of the first and second elongate members. The accordion member is collapsible and extendable to vary the distance between the second ends of the first and second elongate members.
