20100304708 | Methods and Apparatus for Accurately Determining Signal Time of Arrival - A technique for determining the time of arrival of a signal involves correlating a received signal with a correlation function to produce a stream of correlation samples including a peak sample, pre-peak samples, and post-peak samples. A curve matching table includes sets of values, where each set of values represents discrete points of a correlation function having a peak at a respective different time shift relative to the timing of the peak sample. The sets of values include first sets of values that are matched with a first set of samples having no post-peak samples from the correlation samples, and second sets of values that are matched with a second set of samples having at least one post-peak sample. The time of arrival of the signal is determined from the timing of the peak of the correlation function represented by the set of values that produces the best match. | 12-02-2010 |
20130219592 | Rear Looking Snow Helmet - A technique for alerting a user of approaching moving objects from the side or rear includes a rear looking radar with audio alerts to the user. Feasibility of the Rear Looking Snow Helmet is shown using the skiing and snowboarding applications where variable frequency (distance related) audio alerts are provided to left and right earphones depending on the location of the approaching skier/snowboarder. The electronics driving the system are mounted in the skier's/snowboarder's helmet while two antenna elements are mounted on the rear of the helmet. A large ON/OFF switch is mounted on the helmet for easy access. We show feasibility of the concept using performance analysis and by proposing an implementation architecture for the skiing and snowboarding applications. We claim the system will meet an acceptable level of performance when parameters are varied and traded off and that the system is technology independent. | 08-29-2013 |

20140285047 | EcoCharge - The earth's magnetic field has not been mined as a source of energy for electric vehicles. With average field strength of 0.5 Tesla around the world it is easy to understand why it has been overlooked. A disruptive technology is needed to mine the earth's magnetic field for powering electric vehicles. Such a technology, graphene, is now at an early stage of development with excellent properties in the form of high conductivity, low resistivity sheets that are durable, light weight, and low cost. Electrical properties of multiple sheets of graphene provide a significant multiplier to earth's weak magnetic field yielding a feasible source of ecologically clean power for electric vehicles. Graphene based EcoCharge systems can be mounted on a vehicles drive shaft and axles putting graphene in motion to mine the earth's magnetic field. Estimates show that EcoCharge can generate 15.1 kW at 60 mph while weighing only 10 oz. | 09-25-2014 |

The computer system provides functionality that is available to the workflow process framework to the included workflow activity as a result of the workflow activity being included in the workflow rule action. | 04-30-2009 |
20110066583 | CONTROLLING FORWARD CHAINING EXECUTION IN A RULES SYSTEM - Detailed herein is a technology which, among other things, provides for forward chaining in a ruleset. In one approach to this technology, a first rule is examined, to identifying a data object associated with it. A second rule is identified, also associated with the data object. The relationship between the two rules is determined, where execution of the second rule will modify the data object, which, in turn, will alter the outcome of the first rule. | 03-17-2011 |
20120166444 | CO-MAP COMMUNICATION OPERATOR - A high level programming language provides a co-map communication operator that maps an input indexable type to an output indexable type according to a function. The function maps an index space corresponding to the output indexable type to an index space corresponding to the input indexable type. By doing so, the co-map communication operator lifts a function on an index space to a function on an indexable type to allow composability with other communication operators. | 06-28-2012 |

20100241604 | NOTIFICATION-BASED FORWARD CHAINING - In an embodiment, a computer system determines that a first rule in a ruleset comprising a plurality of rules is to be executed, where the first rule includes a condition and an action that is to be performed when the first rule's condition is met. The computer system dynamically modifies the first rule's condition to include a portion of software code configured to monitor and receive notifications from a data-change notification system. The computer system executes the dynamically modified first rule and executes a second rule in the ruleset. The computer system receives a notification from the data-change notification system indicating that execution of the second rule's action has modified data values being monitored by the first rule's software code portion and that, as a result of the modification, the first rule is to be re-executed. The computer system also re-executes the first rule based on the received notification. | 09-23-2010 |
20110185364 | EFFICIENT UTILIZATION OF IDLE RESOURCES IN A RESOURCE MANAGER - Embodiments are directed to dynamically allocating processing resources among a plurality of resource schedulers. A resource manager dynamically allocates resources to a first resource scheduler. The resource manager is configured to dynamically allocate resources among a plurality of resource schedulers, and each scheduler is configured to manage various processing resources. The resource manager determines that at least one of the processing resources dynamically allocated to the first resource scheduler is idle. The resource manager determines that at least one other resource scheduler needs additional processing resources and, based on the determination, loans the determined idle processing resource of the first resource scheduler to a second resource scheduler. | 07-28-2011 |

20140360732 | Bottle Chamber Gas Lift Systems, Apparatuses, and Methods Thereof - Applicants have created systems, methods, and apparatuses for increasing the production of fluid from a subterranean well. The system can include a controller and upper and lower portions. The upper portion can include an injection valve for regulating the amount of a first gas injected into an injection conduit. The lower portion can include a chamber valve for regulating the flow of a second gas through an upper tubing string and a vent valve for regulating the flow of the first gas and a standing valve. The collected fluid creates pressure in the lower portion causing the second gas to flow from the lower tubing string to the upper tubing string. The controller controls the injection valve and is coupled to a pressure gauge for measuring pressure in the lower portion. With the aid of this system, well operators can increase production of subterranean well formations, such as gas wells, without increasing backpressure on those formations. | 12-11-2014 |
