The present regular United States Patent Application claims the benefits of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/520,685, filed Nov. 17, 2003, entitled �Door Wedge�.
The present invention relates to door wedges used in automobiles to limit rattle, and, more particularly, to the springs used in such door wedges.
Door wedge assemblies are known for use in automobiles to limit vibration and rattle of the door when closed. Door wedge assemblies of this type are known for use in vehicles in which two doors close together to form an overlapping joint. Such arrangements are found in trucks, for example, in which a third or rear door is provided behind the standard truck cab door.
Door wedge assemblies reduce rattle, squeak and vibrations, which many users find objectionable. Further however, the stresses from vibration and rattling can cause premature material fatigue. Thus, the wedge assemblies provide not only enhanced user comfort by reducing noise, such wedges also promote long life of the door components.
Known door wedge assemblies have included a body or chassis anchored to the door, such as by tabs that mate with holes of the proper size and position in the bottom of the door. A slide is provided, movable along a path defined in the chassis. The slide forms a wedge component and is biased in the chassis by a metallic spring. The wedge portion of the wedge assembly engages a fixed position cooperative wedge on the opposing vehicle surface. As the door is closed, the wedging components engage one another, causing the slide to move, placing the spring in tension. The wedging action reduces door rattle and provides a more stable connection between the door and the vehicle body. When the door is opened, the spring moves the slide to its non-operating position in the chassis.
While such door wedge assemblies of known design have provided advantages, the wedge assemblies can be difficult, time consuming and costly to assemble, and therefore comparatively expensive. Further, a detectible rattle may occur from the wedge itself, associated with the metallic spring used in the wedge structure. Movement of the slide by action of the metallic spring can cause objectionable noises.
What is needed in the art is a vehicle door wedge assembly that can be manufactured efficiently and at low cost and which is quiet and efficient in operation.
The present invention provides an elastomeric biasing element between the slide and the chassis of the wedge assembly, with a chassis configured as a retrofit structure that can be used in existing door components.
In one aspect thereof, the present invention provides an automobile door wedge assembly with a chassis defining a slide path, a slide movable along the slide path; and an elastomeric, non-metallic biasing element disposed between the chassis and the slide for urging the slide toward one end of the path.
In another aspect thereof, the present invention provides a biasing element for a door wedge assembly in a vehicle, the biasing element being an elastomeric, nonmetallic body.
In a still further aspect thereof, the present invention provides an improvement for a vehicle door wedge assembly having a chassis and a slide movable in the chassis, the improvement being a nonmetallic biasing element between the chassis and the slide made of an elastomer.
An advantage of the present invention is providing a vehicle door wedge assembly that can be manufactured economically with inexpensive, yet durable materials.
Another advantage of the present invention is providing a vehicle door wedge assembly that can be used as a retrofit part in existing door configurations.
Still another advantage of the present invention is providing a vehicle door wedge assembly that is quiet in operation throughout its life.
A further advantage of the present invention is providing an improved vehicle door wedge assembly.
A still further advantage of the present invention is providing a biasing element for a vehicle door wedge assembly that has long life and is quiet and reliable in performance.

FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the door wedge assembly shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an end view of the door wedge assembly shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the door wedge assembly shown in FIGS. 1�3, the cross-section being take along line 4�4 of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a modified biasing element used in the door wedge assembly of the present invention
Referring now more specifically to the drawings, and to FIG. 1 in particular, numeral 10 designates a door wedge assembly in accordance with the present invention. Assembly 10 includes generally a chassis 12, a slide 14 movably positioned within chassis 12, and a biasing element 16 operationally disposed between chassis 12 and slide 14. It should be understood that the size, configuration and overall shape of door wedge assembly 10, and particularly chassis 12 thereof, may vary from one assembly 10 to another, to be used on different vehicles, for efficient installation and operation with doors of various sizes and styles and door frames accommodating such doors.
Chassis 12 is the anchoring body for door wedge assembly 10 and accommodates operation of slide 14 and biasing element 16. As seen best in FIG. 3, chassis 12 includes a base 20, first and second side panels 22 and 24 and an end panel 26. An opening 28 is provided in chassis 12 at the end of chassis 12 opposite end panel 26. A cover 30 is provided in spaced relation to base 20. Cover 30 has an elongated slot 32 therein between sides 22 and 24 and extending from opening 28 to or near end 26. Slot 32 thereby defines the limits of a path along which slide 14 can move, as will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
Cover 30 projects inwardly from sides 22 and 24, in spaced relation to base 20, thereby forming first and second channels 34 and 36 along the side of slot 32. One or more supports 38 are provided on chassis 12 for anchoring chassis 12 in the vehicle door. Chassis 12 may include a plurality of supports 38, as shown in the exemplary embodiment, in the nature of spring feet or tabs that are received in holes on the door bottom (not shown) for mounting. The manner in which chassis 12 can be anchored to a door (not shown) is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in further detail herein. It should be understood that chassis 12 can be provided in configurations similar to known configurations, such that door wedge assembly 10 of the present invention can be used in place of, or as a replacement for previously used door wedge assemblies.
Slide 14 is received in chassis 12 for movement along the path defined by slot 32. Slide 14 includes a main body 40 projecting outwardly through cover 30 and is configured for performing the wedging function with a complementary wedge, not shown, as those skilled in the art will readily understand. First and second lateral flanges 42 and 44 are provided along the sides of main body 40, and are received slidably in, for movement along first and second channels 34 and 36, respectively.
Chassis 12 and slide 14 can be made of various materials, including various polymers that are resistant to corrosion and wear from use.
Biasing element 16 is a non-metallic elastomric body operatively disposed within the slide path for slide 14 within chassis 12. Biasing element 16 is anchored to both chassis 12 and slide 14. Biasing element 16 can be manufactured of a thermoplastic elastomer and can be provided as an overmolding of slide 14 or a portion thereof such that slide 14 and biasing element 16 become an integral, single body. Alternatively, biasing element 16 can be mechanically joined to slide 14 or chemically bonded with adhesive or through the processing of two dissimilar materials. One suitable configuration for mechanical attachment of biasing element 16 to slide 14 includes a dovetail 50 provided on an end of biasing element 16, with dovetail 50 received in a suitable dovetail opening of slide 14. During assembly, biasing element 16 also is connected to chassis 12. FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment in which three projections 52,54 and 56 are provided at an end of biasing element 16 and are received in apertures 58, 60 and 62 in end panel 26 of chassis 12. Alternatively, a shaped projection or projections 64 can be provided with an enlarged ring or end 66 as shown in FIG. 5. Projection 64 is anchored in a suitable aperture through which enlarged end 66 is forced during assembly. The shape of enlarged end 66 improves pullout resistance of projection 64 compared to a straight projection. Other mechanical attachment arrangements and/or chemical bonding with adhesive also can be used for connecting biasing element 16 to chassis 12.
In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1�4, biasing element 16 is a cored structure having a lattice-like arrangement of strips 70 and 72 defining cored out regions or openings 74 therebetween For clarity, only some strips 70, 72 and some openings 74 and not all strips 70, 72 and openings 74 are designated with reference numerals in the drawings. It should be understood that other cored configurations also can be used. Varying the size and shape of the cored out regions can control the resiliency or elasticity of biasing element 16. One such alternative configuration is shown in FIG. 5 in which angular members 76 and 78 are interconnected with openings 80 therebetween. Other types of cored structures having openings also can be used. Cored structures are of advantage in allowing the compression of biasing element 16 as slide 14 moves along chassis 12. With suitable elastomeric material, non-cored structures also can be used. Biasing element 16 can be manufactured efficiently in the desired shape and configuration using known molding processes for thermoplastic elastomers, including two-shot overmolding processes to form slide 14 and biasing element 16 as a single structure.
Assembly of wedge assembly 10 is made easy in that biasing element 16 can be pre-assembled to slide 14 by chemical bonding with adhesive or through the processing of two dissimilar materials or by mechanical attachment including overmolding, dovetail connections or the like. The pre-assembled unit of slide 14 and biasing element 16 is inserted into chassis 12 through opening 28, and biasing element 16 is connected to end panel 26 by mechanical connection, chemical bonding or the like. Projections 52, 54, 56 can be secured in apertures 58, 60, 62 by interference fit and/or chemical bonding. If a shaped projection or projections 64 are used, enlarged end 66 is forced through an appropriate aperture to secure biasing element 16 to end panel 26.
Assembly 10 can be secured to a vehicle door in the same manner as previous door wedge assemblies using supports 38, chemical bonding, or other known attachment procedures.
Upon installation and use of door wedge assembly 10, vehicle doors (not shown) remain aligned and rattle free during operation of the vehicle. Slide 14 creates the interference needed to provide for the rattle free performance while biasing element 16 supplies the force required to maintain the position of slide 14 in chassis 12. When the door is shut and engages slide 14, slide 14 is forced against biasing element 16 until biasing element 16 bottoms out against end panel 26 of chassis 12. Thus, during operation of the vehicle, slide 14 is in substantially fixed, non-moveable position within chassis 12, eliminating rattle. Slide 14 is thereby maintained in proper operating or wedging position. The door is thereby held firmly in place.
While shown and described herein with biasing element 16 configured to operate in compression, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that by moving biasing element 16 to the opposite side of slide 14, biasing element 16 can be provided to operate in tension, rather than in compression. Non-metallic, elastomeric biasing elements 16 of the present invention work well in both arrangements.

A method includes obtaining resource requirements for a plurality of virtual machines, and binding one or more of the plurality of virtual machines to one or more of a plurality of hardware contexts associated with a processor based upon the resource requirements. The resource requirements may be the bandwidth and latency of the virtual machines. The method may be implemented as software on a storage device on a computing device having a processor that supports multiple hardware contexts. The method is particularly beneficial for real-time virtual machines.
An Operating System (OS) is a software program that controls physical computer hardware (e.g., a processor, memory, and disk and CD-ROM drives) and presents application programs with a unified set of abstract services (e.g., a file system). A Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) is also a software program that controls physical computer hardware such as, for example, the processor, memory, and disk drives. Unlike an OS a VMM presents programs executing within a Virtual Machine (VM) with the illusion that they are executing on real physical computer hardware that includes, for example, a processor, memory and a disk drive. Each VM typically functions as a self-contained entity, such that software executing in a VM executes as if it were running alone on a �bare� machine instead of within a virtual machine that shares a processor and other physical hardware with other VMs. It is the VMM that emulates certain functions of a �bare� machine so that software executing within a VM executes as if it were the sole entity executing on the computer.
When executing �real-time� applications, computations upon data that is available at one substantially predetermined time should be completed by another substantially predetermined time. An OS that schedules a real-time application with sufficient frequency and for sufficient duration that the real-time application is able to complete its computations before their respective deadlines is said to have received adequate scheduling Quality of Service (QoS). Similarly, a VMM that includes a VM and a real-time OS (RTOS) provides adequate scheduling QoS when real-time applications and the VMs complete execution before respective deadlines. OSs and VMMs should schedule the computing resources of their real or virtual machine in such a fashion as to ensure that real-time applications receive adequate scheduling QoS.
Many current generation microprocessors such as, for example, the Intel� Pentium� 3 and 4 microprocessors include superpipelined out of order machines where instructions need not be executed in strict program order. While such processors typically have a number of independent execution units, they only fetch instructions from a single instruction stream. Some microprocessors, including some future members of the Pentium� family of processors, will have the ability to simultaneously fetch instructions from two or more instruction streams. These instruction streams are generally called threads because they correspond to threads scheduled by the system software. Microprocessors that simultaneously fetch instructions from two or more instruction streams are variously referred to as �hyper-threaded�, �multi-threaded� or �symmetric multi-threaded.� On hyper-threaded microprocessors the instruction fetch units are controlled by �hardware contexts�, which include both a stack pointer and an instruction pointer, a set of standard processor registers plus any additional state information necessary such as, for Pentium� family processors, control registers and translation look-aside buffer (TLB) tag bits. On out-of-order processors the nominal processor registers will generally be dynamically allocated from a pool of renameable registers, so that the actual static hardware context may be little more than a stack pointer, instruction pointer and a few control registers.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 illustrates a conceptual diagram of the components involved in the invention described herein.
DESCRIPTION In many processors used in various kinds of computing devices, including personal computers, a virtual machine manager (VMM) may be implemented and used to manage multiple virtual machines (VMs) that are used to provide an environment for multiple operating systems to concurrently execute. The VMM provides emulation assistance to the VMs so that software (e.g., an operating system) in each VM believes that it has sole access to and thus control of the entire computing device. In reality, the VMM shares the resources of the computing device (e.g., the processor, memory and disk drive(s)) among the multiple VMs based on the respective requirements of the software executing in each VM and the availability and suitability of system and processor resources. Thus, there may be significant overhead incurred in switching among the various VMs. According to a method described herein, the VMM may bind certain VMs to certain hardware contexts in a hyper-threaded processor. According to the methods described herein, in certain situations, it may be beneficial to bind one or more VMs, particularly real-time VMs, to one or more hardware contexts for reasons including, but not limited to, maximizing efficiency and minimizing latency and response time.
Real-time virtual machines (RTVMs) are virtual machines that contain software applications that perform computations that must complete before a deadline or deadlines as measured according to an external reference clock (i.e., a so-called �wall clock�). Among the applications that an RTVM might contain are streaming media applications, including audio and video applications, digital signal processing and communications applications, including modem and networking applications. RTVMs may also be used in other instances. Because of the fine grained machine switch requirements placed on a virtual machine system by RTVMs, an undesirable amount of overhead may be generated when the VMM switches between various VMs and RTVMs. By binding RTVMs, and, in some instances, non-real-time VMs, to dedicated hardware contexts on a hyper-threaded processor, the overhead associated with such switching is reduced and performance of the virtual machine system is improved. Although the term �binding� is used herein, binding includes and/or is synonymous with, for example, but not limited to, assigning, aggregating, designating, allocating, distributing, or otherwise establishing and/or managing the relationship between VMs and hardware contexts.
FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a flow of actions taken by a virtual machine manager. The VMM first evaluates the bandwidth and latency requirements of one or more real-time virtual machines, as shown in block 310. Bandwidth and latency may be described as resource requirements of a virtual machine. Bandwidth is referred to by the variable X, and latency is referred to as the variable Y. Bandwidth refers to the amount of computing resources such as memory and other devices that are required by the particular virtual machine, and latency refers to how frequently the virtual machine requires access to the processor for execution. In one embodiment, bandwidth may be a tuple of values between 0 and 1, inclusive, which represent the fraction of corresponding resources the VM requires. In one embodiment, the tuple may be a quad tuple in which each element represents the fraction or percentage of processor, memory, display and disk resources required. For example, the tuple (0.5, 0.25, 0, 0.1) could represent a VM which requires 50% of the processor cycles, 25% of the system memory, 0% of the display (i.e., this VM is non-interactive) and 10% of the system disk bandwidth. The size of the tuple may vary depending on the components of a particular system. The resources represented in the tuple are not limited and are based on the hardware components of a particular system. In one embodiment, latency may refer to a period such as, for example, five milliseconds, or fifty microseconds, etc. which represents the longest duration for which the VM can be �held off� or delayed from execution. The VMM determines whether any real-time virtual machines are candidates for binding to one or more hardware contexts, as shown in block 320. The VMM binds one or more of the binding candidates; that is, real-time virtual machines, to one or more hardware contexts, as shown in block 330. Although the VMM is described in this paragraph as functioning solely with real-time virtual machines, the VMM may apply this same flow of execution to non-real-time virtual machines. Such an application may be desired if performance gains are to be realized. This is both system and processor dependent.

Aberdeen: goalkeeper Joe Lewis extends his contract by two years - BBC Sport
Aberdeen: goalkeeper Joe Lewis extends his contract by two years
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40406717
Aberdeen goalkeeper Joe Lewis was an ever-present last season as the Pittodrie side finished runners-up in three competitions
Aberdeen goalkeeper Joe Lewis has signed a two-year extension to his Pittodrie contract.
The 29-year-old joined last summer from Cardiff City and will now remain at the club until 2020.
An ever-present last season, the goalkeeper's aim is to win honours with Aberdeen, after losing two cup finals last term.
"I want to win trophies here after coming so close last season," Lewis told Aberdeen TV.
"I'm thoroughly enjoying my time here and it was an easy decision to make to stay longer. My family love it here and have settled in really well.
"The opportunity to play in Europe regularly is another bonus and one that cannot be underestimated."
Aberdeen were runners-up in all three domestic competitions last season, as Celtic secured the treble in an unbeaten campaign. Lewis was named in both the SPFL team of the year and the PFA Scotland team of the year.
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes expects to add several new players to the squad this summer
Manager Derek McInnes was a target for Sunderland as the English side looked to appoint a successor to David Moyes, but he chose to remain at Pittodrie. The Dons also received a financial boost, with new director David Cormack pledging to invest in the club.
With Niall McGinn, Ryan Jack, Peter Pawlett and Ash Taylor all leaving Pittodrie at the end of last season, and Jonny Hayes moving to Celtic, Aberdeen intend to recruit several new players this season, but McInnes was also pleased to secure Lewis on a longer-term contract.
"We'll be making signings over the next period but there'll be no better news than Joe signing on for an extra two years," McInnes said.
"He's been magnificent from day one here and he's a big hit with the fans. Joe is an integral part of what we want to do here and I'm absolutely delighted he's staying."

A great buffet of culture served over nine days
In a fitting opening to the Hindustan Times Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, the Yuvak Biradari dance group performed a Maharashtrian folk dance at Cross Maidan on Saturday, officially declaring the festival open.

People-attending-the-Kala-Ghoda-Arts-Festival-in-Mumbai-Kalpak-Pathak-HT
In a fitting opening to the Hindustan Times Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, one of the country’s biggest cultural festivals and an event that has become part of the cultural identity of the city and the state, the Yuvak Biradari dance group performed a Maharashtrian folk dance at Cross Maidan on Saturday, officially declaring the festival open.
The performance was followed by an opening ceremony led by Maneck Davar, chairperson of the Kala Ghoda Association, which started the festival 16 years ago to revive the precinct’s art culture, accompanied by Hindustan Times business head Nitin Chaudhary.
Bollywood actor Raveen Tandon lit the inaugural lamp before an audience of about 1,000 people at Cross Maidan, as did festival director Brinda Miller and other members of the association.
Calling the festival “a great buffet of culture served over nine days”, Tandon congratulated the KGAF association for its 16th year of success. “This festival sources talent from all over, which is a pleasure for Mumbaiites like us,” she added.
The scale of the 16th edition of the festival was evident on Day 1, with thousands thronging each of the 15 venues to tour the art installations, participate in walks, workshops and cooking sessions, shop at the myriad stalls and attend dance, film, theatre and literature events.
“The number of people who have visited today is an indication of how much this festival is growing,” said Davar.
Already, the festival calendar for this year’s Kala Ghoda arts fest is bigger than ever, with more than 500 events spread over nine days — including an entirely new section dedicated to urban design and architecture. “In terms of the number of events, this festival is already the biggest so far,” said Miller. “I’m also seeing a lot more children at the festival this year, and, despite there being no acoustic or dance performances on Rampart Row, thousands are thronging the street for the stalls and displays, which is a joy to see,” said Miller.
One of the children in attendance was 10-year-old Angira Kanwar, who had her eyes glued to the inaugural dance performances.
“I myself am learning Kathak, and I came here to watch the beautiful performances by experienced artistes,” said the Deonar resident.
Chembur resident Mahua Banerjee, meanwhile, was a first-time Kala Ghoda attendee. “I’m here with my husband and young daughter and we are loving every bit of it,” she said. “The festive atmosphere and the dance programmes are great.”

About HodgsonStudio
We started making pottery because we loved using handmade pottery. We still do!
We are primarily self-taught in ceramics. Just after graduation from Texas A&M University in 1978, we discovered clay and each other. From that moment, our fates were sealed: we left our brand new science degrees behind and pursued the art of pottery-making with a beginner’s zeal.
We established a studio, east of Austin, Texas, in 1981. Since then, we have furthered our education through workshops, the daily practice of work in clay, and the wisdom of the generous clay community. In 1985 we built our first wood fired kiln. The effects that we achieved in wood firing continue to influence our glaze choices and surface treatments. We currently fire our work in a propane fueled kiln.
After almost 30 years in clay, we find that the things that fuel our enthusiasm for the craft today are the same things that drew us to pottery in the first place: our love of function and form, our passion for the process of making pots, and the joy we find in using hand made pottery. The nature of the media inspires our on-going education.
Gaye Lynn & Michael
All of our pottery is made by us:
Gaye Lynn and Michael Hodgson, here at our studio in Texas.
We love using handmade pottery; we love making pots to be used.
We hope that the look and feel of our work is full of life and good design; we hope that you will enjoy using our pots ...that they will enhance every meal! Additionally, our work is very durable, and is made to be used daily. All glazes are food-safe, and can be used in a microwave oven, conventional oven, and dishwasher.
DO NOT USE ON STOVE TOP or any situation that would cause a sudden dramatic change of temperature on the surface of the pot - such as applying direct heat from a stove top burner or taking a pot directly from freezer to oven. We do not recommend using our pots in the freezer.
( A room temperature casserole going into a warm oven is fine. Just avoid intense, direct, heat or cold transitions.)
