The present invention describes a composition which has as its base a dry, granular fertilizer and to which is added a flowing agent and further to which is added a hydrophobic agent. The present invention also describes methods for making this composition.

A memory system is disclosed which includes a large main memory having information block storage locations addressable by an address consisting of set and tag bits, two buffer memory banks each having storage locations addressable by the set bits for the storage of tags and associated information blocks, and a small content-addressed memory for the storage of associated tags, sets, and information blocks. Initially, all information blocks are in the main memory, and accessing an information bloc...

A method and system for performing full-scene anti-aliasing for an image through a technique of rotating and unrotating rasterization of a scene and rendering a resulting image. A scene is rasterized at a first angle relative to a first coordinate system to generate a plurality of pixels, which are then applied to a polygon surface that is rendered at a second angle equal to the inverse of the first angle. Thus, the resulting image is re-oriented with respect to the first coordinate system.

A drive chassis for magnetic tapes, the chassis having adjustable azimuth for a magnetic head. The magnetic head is mounted onto a plate. The plate has one end forming a hinge surface. The hinge surface is forced into contact with a stationary hinge surface on the chassis. A second end of the plate is moveable, permitting the plate to rotate around the hinge surfaces, thereby rotating the magnetic head. A spring in contact with the second end of the plate forces the hinge surface of the plate ag...

This invention relates generally to crop protection compositions and methods for making and using the compositions. More specifically, the invention relates to crop protection compositions utilizing talc and one or more additives providing for improved aqueous suspension of the talc and methods for making such compositions. The present invention also discloses horticultural substrates coated with a crop protective composition utilizing talc and one or more additives providing for improved aqueou...

A resonant scanning unit utilizes a "tuning fork" design with a mirror mounted on one arm of the tuning fork and a counterbalance mass mounted on the other arm. A voice coil electromagnetic motor mounted between the arms causes the arms to move in opposite directions. Light generated by a line of LEDs is reflected from the oscillating mirror to generate a raster display. Reaction forces generated by the motions of the mirror and counterbalance mass cancel at the device base, reducing vibration. ...

A structure and related design structure for providing a common mode feedback to a differential amplifier are disclosed. A common mode feedback amplifier is connected to a differential amplifier to provide common mode feedback voltage thereto. An input of the common mode feedback amplifier is shorted to an output terminal of the differential amplifier during a sampling phase, and is coupled to the differential output voltage through two matched capacitors during a holding phase.
