A transaction within a computer program or computer application comprises program instructions performing multiple store operations that appear to run and complete as a single, atomic operation. The program instructions forming a current transaction comprise a transaction begin indicator, a plurality of instructions (e.g., store operations), and a transaction end indicator. A near-end of transaction indicator is triggered based on a speculative look ahead operation such that an interfering transaction requiring a halt operation may be delayed to allow the current transaction to end. A halt operation, also referred to as an abort operation, as used herein refers to an operation responsive to a condition where two transactions have been detected to interfere where at least one transaction must be aborted and the state of the processor is reset to the state at the beginning of the aborted transaction by performing a rollback.

A product comprising a plurality of interlaced yarns wherein at least a first yarn having a tensile strength, having a value TS in N/tex, said first yarn containing a plurality of UHMWPE fibers having a titer, having a value T in den, wherein the ratio T/TS is at least 5 den.tex/N. The tensile strength is obtained by adjusting the drawing ratio or the UHMWPE filaments/fibers accordingly. The product shows resistance to abrasion. The product can be a rope or round slings, comprising a sheath/jacket comprising said first yarn.

A protective glove includes a primary yarn that forms the palm, thumb and finger sections of the glove. The primary yarn has an interior surface forming the interior surface of the glove, and an exterior surface forming the exterior surface of the glove. A plaiting yarn is plaited to portions of the exterior surface of the primary yarn to form a plurality of enhanced sections on the exterior surface of the glove. The enhanced sections having at least one substantially enhanced physical characteristic in relation to the primary layer, such as increased cut resistance.

A knit sleeve for providing thermal protection about an elongate member contained therein and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a knit inner wall with opposite edges extending lengthwise between opposite ends and a circumferentially continuous tubular outer wall knit integrally with the inner wall. The outer wall bounds a central cavity that extends lengthwise along a central axis between open opposite ends of the outer wall. The opposite edges of the inner wall are substantially parallel to the central axis and are wrappable toward one another to form the inner wall as being tubular. The circumferentially continuous tubular outer wall is configured to be everted about the wrapped inner wall to circumferentially surround and protect the inner wall from abrasion and provide the sleeve with a dual layer wall.

A thin coated supported glove and method of making the glove includes a thin knitted liner, including a plurality of finger components, a thumb component, a backhand component, and a palm component, wherein the thin knitted liner comprises a covered yarn including a tungsten core having a diameter of about 25-35 micrometers, a polyamide wrapping yarn disposed upon the tungsten core, and a high performance polyethylene wrapping yarn disposed upon the polyamide wrapping yarn, wherein the covered yarn is (350) denier or less; a second yarn, wherein the second yarn is an intermingled yarn of (115) denier or less; and a thin polymeric coating adhered to the thin knitted liner.

Methods for making yarns are provided which include the steps of supplying continuous polymer filaments, detaching from at least a part of the continuous polymer filaments, and at least one continuous reinforcement filament, a plurality of discontinuous polymer fibers and of discontinuous reinforcement fibers to obtain a composite sliver, and twisting the composite sliver to obtain a roving from which yarn may be obtained. Yarns produced by such methods as well as textiles, fabrics and garments which include such yarns are also provided. Such yarns may be particularly useful in the production of, for example, protective gloves.

Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to reinforcement materials for use in reinforcing flexible tank walls, and particularly to hybrid textiles and weaving patterns that have been found particularly useful with such hybrid textiles.

The present invention discloses a highly cut-resistant ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber, made of a ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and an inorganic ultrafine micropowder having a nanocrystalline structural morphology, wherein the inorganic ultrafine micropowder is one of an oxide, carbide, and nitride of aluminium, titanium, silicon, boron, and zirconium, or a combination thereof, and has an average diameter of 0.1-300 m and a content of 0.1-14% of the total weight of the fiber. The present invention further discloses a method for preparing a highly cut-resistant ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber, comprising: adding nanocrystalline silicon carbide particles to a solvent, and repeatedly grinding by a sand mill; adding a ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, and the silicon carbide nanoparticles to a solvent, and mixing until uniform by stirring by a homogenizer with high shear, to obtain a spinning solution; and subjecting the spinning solution to conventional gelation spinning, and extracting and hot drawing the gel filament spun, to obtain a composite fiber. In the present invention, by introducing the nanocrystalline ultrafine particles into the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber, the composite fiber of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene/nanocrystalline ultrafine particles has a quite excellent cut-resistant performance.

A composite yarn. The composite yarn has a glass core having a linear weight ranging between 50 to 400 deniers and composing from 15 to 60% of a total linear weight of the composite yarn. The composite yarn has a sheath surrounding the glass core, where the sheath is constituted at least of fibers of meta-aramid. The sheath constitutes a remainder of the total linear weight of the composite yarn. The composite yarn has a yarn count between 10 tex and 80 tex.
