20080314122 | MONITORING OF LEAKAGE IN WASTEWATER FORCE MAINS AND OTHER PIPES CARRYING FLUID UNDER PRESSURE - A method of detecting leakage in a force main involves placing at least two spaced sensors on the force main. Liquid is pumped through the pipe by means of a pump. The pump is shut down for an interval of time, and during the period following pump shutdown while negative pressure is present in the pipe, signals are generated at the sensors due to noise or vibration resulting from fluid being drawn into the pipe. The position of a leak in the pipe is determined by correlating the leak noise signals generated while the pipe is under negative pressure. Alternatively, the invention can be applied to a pressurized pipe, in which case conditions of negative pressure can be deliberatively created for a period to draw in fluid from the outside. | 12-25-2008 |

20080221962 | Method for Fair Sharing Limited Resources Between Multiple Customers - The invention disclosed comprises a method for encouraging fair sharing of limited material inventory and capacity between multiple customers when creating a production plan the invention allocates resources among competing demands in a linear programming production planning system by first classifying the demands into fair share sets, wherein all demands within each set have the same priority, calculating the cumulative demand for each resource within each set, and then allocating the resources to the demands in order of fair share set priority. If, during the allocating process, the supply of a given resource cannot satisfy a given cumulative demand of a given set, the given resource is allocated proportionally (e.g., evenly or according to usage proportions) among all demands that contribute to the given cumulative demand within the given set. This is an advanced planning system for optimizing established planning objectives (e.g., customer service, short lead times, low inventory, and prioritized allocation of supply and capacity) to compute a feasible production plan for the enterprise. | 09-11-2008 |

20110016276 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CACHE MANAGEMENT - Aspects of the invention relate to improvements to the Least Recently Used (LRU) cache replacement method. Weighted LRU (WLRU) and Compact Weighted LRU (CWLRU) are CPU cache replacement methods that have superior hit rates to LRU replacement for programs with poor locality, such as network protocols and applications. WLRU assigns weights to cache lines and makes replacement decision by comparing weights. When a cache line is first brought into the cache, it is assigned an initial weight. Weights of cache lines in WLRU increase when hit and decrease when not hit. Weights in WLRU also have upper limits, and the weight of a cache line never increases beyond the upper limit. CWLRU is a more space-efficient implementation of WLRU. Compared to WLRU, CWLRU uses fewer bits per cache line to store the weight. | 01-20-2011 |

20100195932 | Binary Image Stitching Based On Grayscale Approximation - Binary image stitching based on grayscale approximation. In a first example embodiment, a method for automatic binary image stitching of first and second binary images includes several acts. First, the first and second binary images are converted into first and second thumbnail grayscale images. Each thumbnail grayscale image is a lower resolution than its corresponding binary image by a scaling factor. Next, a thumbnail transform is calculated between the first thumbnail grayscale image and the second thumbnail grayscale image. Then, a full-size transform is calculated as a function of the thumbnail transform and the scaling factor. Next, the stitched binary image is created by projecting the first binary image onto the second binary image using the full-size transform and combining overlapping portions of the first and second binary images. | 08-05-2010 |
