20100102232 | ATMOSPHERIC GAS DETECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A method of detecting a target gas includes the step of traversing a target area with a gas-filter correlation radiometer having a field of view oriented towards the target area. The gas-filter correlation radiometer receives reflected radiation in a passband from the target area and produces gas-filter correlation radiometer signals from the received reflected radiation. A surface reflectivity spectral profile of the target area is determined. The presence of the target gas in the target area is then determined based upon the received reflected radiation and the surface reflectivity spectral profile of the target area. | 04-29-2010 |
20110133089 | REMOTE SENSING OF GAS LEAKS - A gas filter correlation radiometer mounted on an aircraft is flown over a target area. The gas filter correlation radiometer is configured to detect ethane (C | 06-09-2011 |
20130289899 | REMOTE SENSING OF HYDROCARBON LEAKS - A gas filter correlation radiometer mounted on an aircraft is flown over a target area. The gas filter correlation radiometer is configured to detect a gas in a vapour plume in the event of a liquid leak. The gas filter correlation radiometer uses a gas in the vapour or a gas that has a spectral band overlapping a spectral band of the vapour. The gas filter correlation radiometer uses background radiation to detect the vapour. | 10-31-2013 |

20100211931 | STM WITH GLOBAL VERSION OVERFLOW HANDLING - A software transactional memory system is provided with overflow handling. The system includes a global version counter with an epoch number and a version number. The system accesses the global version counter prior to and subsequent to memory accesses of transactions to validate read accesses of the transaction. The system includes mechanisms to detect global version number overflow and may allow some or all transactions to execute to completion subsequent to the global version number overflowing. The system also provides publication, privatization, and granular safety properties. | 08-19-2010 |

20110145637 | Performing Mode Switching In An Unbounded Transactional Memory (UTM) System - In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for selecting a first transaction execution mode to begin a first transaction in a unbounded transactional memory (UTM) system having a plurality of transaction execution modes. These transaction execution modes include hardware modes to execute within a cache memory of a processor, a hardware assisted mode to execute using transactional hardware of the processor and a software buffer, and a software transactional memory (STM) mode to execute without the transactional hardware. The first transaction execution mode can be selected to be a highest performant of the hardware modes if no pending transaction is executing in the STM mode, otherwise a lower performant mode can be selected. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 06-16-2011 |
