Abstract:
Antenna sharing techniques are described. A mobile computing device may comprise an antenna, a switch to couple to the antenna, and multiple transceivers to couple to the switch. The mobile computing device may also comprise an antenna management module to couple to the switch and the transceivers. The antenna management module may control the switch to electrically connect one of the transceivers to the antenna. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for breaking complex X86 segment operations and segmented memory addressing into explicit sub-operations so that they may be exposed to compiler or translator-based optimizations. A method includes providing a first segment selector for deriving a linear address of a segment descriptor in a first descriptor table and providing a second segment selector for deriving a linear address of a segment descriptor in a second descriptor table. The method also includes attempting an access of the first descriptor table to derive a segment descriptor, and if the access of the first descriptor table fails, attempting an access of the second descriptor table to derive a segment descriptor. The method also includes storing a derived segment descriptor from a successful attempted access in a descriptor register.
Abstract:
A high-speed milling cutter is provided that includes a hub rotatable about an axis, a plurality of radially extending arms, and a plurality of cutting inserts, each of which is connected to a distal portion of one of the arms. The arms are tapered with respect to both the horizontal and vertical planes in such a manner that centrifugally induced tensile stresses are substantially equal at all points between the proximal and distal ends. The cross-sectional area of each arm increases at each point radially inwardly so that the ratio of tensile strength to the amount of centrifugal force generated by the cumulative, peripheral mass of the arm at that point remains substantially constant throughout the length of the arm.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides grey cast iron-doped diamond-like carbon coating compositions useful for reducing friction and wear in mechanical contact surfaces and methods for deposition of such compositions.
Abstract:
Network connectivity may be managed on a computing device. An identifier of each wireless access point or network that is available at a given location is determined. The identifier determined without the device attempting to connect to any available wireless access point or network at the given location. Each determined identifier is compared to one or more network identifiers that are known to the device. The device connects to an available wireless access point having the identifier that is known and detected.
