20110292932 | EXTENSIBLE TIME SPACE SWITCH SYSTEMS AND METHODS - The present disclosure provides a structured, pipelined large time-space switch and method of operation resolving interconnect complexity. The time-space switch results in an interconnect complexity that does not grow as the spatial dimension is increased and results in a reduction of long high fan-out nets, a quicker layout, and improved clock speed. With respect to time-space switch fabric implementation, the present invention improves the maximum clock frequency of the switch fabric, and improves integrated circuit layout time by eliminating long high fan-out nets. Certain high-speed large switch fabrics may not be realizable without this implementation, and it significantly reduces implementation time (and cost). The present invention may include link encoding of switch frames by mapping 8B10B control characters into an 64B65B format (similar to Generic Framing Protocol-Transparent (GFP-T)), wrapping 32 65B encoded words with an 11-bit error correcting code, and scrambling the frame with a frame synchronous scrambler. | 12-01-2011 |

20110299929 | Apparatus and Method for Containment of Well Fluids from a Subsea Well Fluid Leak - Apparatus and method for containment of well fluids flowing from a subsea well fluid leak feature a containment structure positioned over the well blowout, and an elongated collection conduit supported with an upper end exposed to atmospheric pressure above sea level and a lower end in fluid communication with surrounding sea water over an upper opening of the containment structure. Collected well fluid rises in the elongated conduit due to a lower specific gravity of the well fluid relative to the sea water, and is discharged from the elongated conduit at a location above sea level to a receiving vessel. The open piping system allows for easier installation of the separate containment system and collection conduit, and allows sea water to be displaced from the open lower end of the conduit above the containment structure under filling of the conduit with rising well fluid. | 12-08-2011 |
