 Functional unit support mechanism and image forming apparatus provided with the support mechanism - US Patent 6768887
The conventional fuser unit of the aforementioned construction, however, has a problem that its assembling efficiency and maintainability are poor and it is difficult to visually identify the screw 34 which is used as an operating device, because it is so small and positioned at the bottom of the base plate 33.
Also, because the vertical center axis 1a of the functional unit is positioned in line with the central axis line of the threaded shaft 6 in one form of the invention, it is possible to fixed the functional unit to the base plate 2 in a well balanced fashion.
This enables a user or servicing personnel to promptly start replacement of, or other work on, the functional unit.

 Execution unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer engineering, an execution unit is a part of a CPU that performs the operations and calculations called for by the program.
It is commonplace for modern CPUs to have multiple parallel execution units, referred to as scalar or superscalar design.
The simplest arrangement is to use one, the bus manager, to manage the memory interface, and the others to perform calculations.

The CDC 6600 only has one functional unit for memory access, so all attempts to load and store are serialized in the order that the load and store instructions are issued.
In contrast, at the start of each clock cycle, each functional unit on the CDC 6600 may be idle or busy, and some instructions can be handled by any of a number of functional units.
Furthermore, in the VLIW machine, each instruction dispatches work to all functional units, while in the CDC environment, each instruction is dispatched to exactly one functional unit.

 The Chimaera Reconfigurable Functional Unit
The microprocessor is used to support the bulk of the functionality required to implement an algorithm, while the reconfigurable logic is used to accelerate only the most critical computation kernels of the program.
Also, reconfigurable logic is much slower than a processor's built-in functional units for standard computations such as floating point and complex integer arithmetic, variable length shifts, and others.
As part of this research we are developing a speculative execution model for computation, which promises greater performance and allows more complex functionality to be migrated to the reconfigurable logic.
