20140109766 | SYSTEM TO REMOVE CONTAMINANTS FROM AIR STREAM - The system to remove contaminants from an air stream provides an apparatus and method for removing pollutants, especially carbon, from polluted air. The apparatus and method include a device for thoroughly mixing polluted air with water in a manner to cause the carbon to disassociate from the air and be suspended in the water. The cleansed air is re-circulated for reuse. In one embodiment, clay or sand is utilized to absorb the carbon from the water. As contemplated, the carbon-enriched clay or sand may be used for land reclamation. | 04-24-2014 |
20140197640 | HYDROELECTRIC POWER GENERATING SYSTEM - The hydroelectric power generating system incorporates a man-made dam structure configured to completely enclose a body of water. The dam is preferably filled by pumping seawater into the reservoir defined by the encircling dam. A circumferential canal feeds water to one or more penstocks. Each penstock has one or more hydroelectric turbine generators installed therealong. The penstocks feed an enclosed circumferential channel about the base of the dam. The channel delivers water to a pump that pumps the water back into the bottom of the reservoir. While this system results in a net loss of energy, the system can make use of surplus power to drive the return pump during periods of low electrical demand in order to replenish the reservoir. | 07-17-2014 |
20140197641 | HYDROELECTRIC POWER GENERATING SYSTEM - The hydroelectric power generating system incorporates a man-made dam structure configured to completely enclose a body of water. The dam is preferably filled by pumping seawater into the reservoir defined by the encircling dam. A circumferential canal feeds water to one or more penstocks. Each penstock has one or more hydroelectric turbine generators installed therealong. The penstocks feed an enclosed circumferential channel about the base of the dam. The channel delivers water to a pump that pumps the water back into the bottom of the reservoir. An auxiliary hydroelectric power generating system disposed within the dam utilizes the water exiting from the lower end of the penstocks for additional production of energy. While this system results in a net loss of energy, the system can make use of surplus power to drive the return pump during periods of low electrical demand in order to replenish the reservoir. | 07-17-2014 |

20140317327 | SOFTWARE DEBOUNCING AND NOISE FILTERING MODULES FOR INTERRUPTS - Systems and methods for debouncing a signal line within a computer device are provided. The mechanical nature of physical buttons and switches oftentimes present irregular or noisy signals on a signal line when depressed by a user. Thus, noise and/or irregular waveforms may be present on a signal line that is monitored to produce interrupt signals, when deemed valid and genuine. In many embodiments given herein, debounce modules and techniques set a debounce interval timer and/or a noise filtering interval timer in which debounce modules and/or techniques may note whether the signal line is still asserted (e.g., possibly a genuine interrupt signal) during the debounce interval timer and stable (e.g., no further interrupts have fired) during the noise filtering interval timer. | 10-23-2014 |
20140372649 | Operating System-Managed Interrupt Steering in Multiprocessor Systems - An operating system is provided in which an interrupt router dynamically steers each interrupt to one or more processors within set of processors based on overall load information from the set of processors. An interrupt source is assigned to a processor based on the load imposed by the interrupt source and the target overall load for the processor. For example, each processor can maintain information about each interrupt it processes over time. The operating system receives this historical load information to determine an expected load for interrupts of a given type from a given device, an overall load on the system, and a target load for each processor. Given a set of interrupt sources, their expected loads, and target load for each processor, each interrupt source can be assigned dynamically to a processor during runtime of the system. On a regular basis, these assignments can be changed given current operating conditions of the system. | 12-18-2014 |
20160080320 | Trusted Execution Environment Extensible Computing Device Interface - Constructs to define a Trusted Execution Environment Driver that can implement a standard communication interface in a first environment for discovering and/or exchanging messages with secure applications/services executed in a Trusted Execution Environment (TrEE). The first environment can represent an environment with a different security policy from the TrEE. The TrEE driver can include a standard interface and/or mechanism by which applications/services and drivers within a first environment can access secure applications/services in the TrEE, a standard interface and/or mechanism by which third-party vendors can expose their TrEE applications/services to a first environment, a standard interface and/or mechanism by which a TrEE can request applications/services, on its own behalf, from the first environment, and a standard interface and/or mechanism to facilitate the management of secure application/services and/or provide I/O prioritization and security protection for individual secure applications/services. | 03-17-2016 |

20160070320 | Individual Device Reset and Recovery in a Computer - A computer includes multiple devices, each providing different functionality to the computer, such as communication functionality, input functionality, output functionality, and so forth. A reset control system of the computer manages resetting of the devices, resetting individual devices as appropriate rather than resetting the entire computer. In response to a malfunction of a particular device, the reset control system selects a set of one or more devices to reset. The devices to reset include the particular device as well as any other devices that will be affected by resetting the particular device (e.g., devices that cannot be powered down or reset separately from the particular device, or devices the operation of which relies on the particular device). The reset control system resets the set of one or more devices, and then adds each reset device back into the computer. | 03-10-2016 |
20160092274 | Heterogeneous Thread Scheduling - Heterogeneous thread scheduling techniques are described in which a processing workload is distributed to heterogeneous processing cores of a processing system. The heterogeneous thread scheduling may be implemented based upon a combination of periodic assessments of system-wide power management considerations used to control states of the processing cores and higher frequency thread-by-thread placement decisions that are made in accordance with thread specific policies. In one or more implementations, a system workload context is periodically analyzed for a processing system having heterogeneous cores including power efficient cores and performance oriented cores. Based on the periodic analysis, cores states are set for some of the heterogeneous cores to control activation of the power efficient cores and performance oriented cores for thread scheduling. Then, individual threads are scheduled in dependence upon the core states to allocate the individual threads between active cores of the heterogeneous cores on a per-thread basis. | 03-31-2016 |
