20100055363 | COMPRESSION RESISTANT FLOATING HOSE FOR REELING APPLICATIONS - Floating hose is normally comprised of a carcass that is covered with a layer of foam to provide buoyancy. The foam can be deformed and compressed by being repeatedly reeled onto a drum under conditions of high axial forces (reeling forces plus hose weight). The propensity for the foam layer to become compressed is aggravated in typical conditions where the hose is stored on a reel for extended periods and is on the reel more than it is in the water. In any case, compression damage causes the hose to lose buoyancy which can ultimately result in the hose sinking under conditions of normal use. It would accordingly be desirable to develop a floating hose that minimized the permanent damage caused by the foam layer being compressed to high levels over and over again. The floating hose of this invention is resistant to damage that can be caused by axial forces, such as those encountered while being collected on a reel. More specifically, the floating hose of this invention is not as susceptible to being damaged by compression as conventional floating hoses. This is by virtue of the floating hoses of this invention including anti-compression collars that protect the floatation medium therein from damage that can occur during routine usage. This extends the service life of the floating hoses of this invention and reduces their propensity to lose buoyancy over time. The present invention more specifically discloses a floating hose comprising: a carcass having an inside and an outside; a plurality of anti-compression collars interspaced around the carcass; a floatation medium surrounding said hose carcass and said anti-compression collars, and an outer cover, wherein said outer cover covers said floating medium and said anti-compression collars. | 03-04-2010 |

20120291040 | AUTOMATIC LOAD BALANCING FOR HETEROGENEOUS CORES - A system and method for efficient automatic scheduling of the execution of work units between multiple heterogeneous processor cores. A processing node includes a first processor core with a general-purpose micro-architecture and a second processor core with a single instruction multiple data micro-architecture. A computer program comprises one or more compute kernels, or function calls. A compiler computes pre-runtime information of the given function call. A runtime scheduler produces one or more work units by matching each of the one or more kernels with an associated record of data. The scheduler assigns work units either to the first or to the second processor core based at least in part on the computed pre-runtime information. In addition, the scheduler is able to change an original assignment for a waiting work unit based on dynamic runtime behavior of other work units corresponding to a same kernel as the waiting work unit. | 11-15-2012 |

A compiler predicts execution of a function call in a program migrates at a given location to a different processor core. The compiler creates a data structure to support moving live values associated with the execution of the function call at the given location. An operating system (OS) scheduler schedules at least code before the given location in program order to the first processor core. In response to receiving an indication that a condition for migration is satisfied, the OS scheduler moves the live values to a location indicated by the data structure for access by the second processor core and schedules code after the given location to the second processor core. | 11-22-2012 |
20120331278 | BRANCH REMOVAL BY DATA SHUFFLING - A system and method for automatically optimizing parallel execution of multiple work units in a processor by reducing a number of branch instructions. A computing system includes a first processor core with a general-purpose micro-architecture and a second processor core with a same instruction multiple data (SIMD) micro-architecture. A compiler detects and evaluates branches within function calls with one or more records of data used to determine one or more outcomes. Multiple compute sub-kernels are generated, each comprising code from the function corresponding to a unique outcome of the branch. Multiple work units are produced by assigning one or more records of data corresponding to a given outcome of the branch to one of the multiple compute sub-kernels associated with the given outcome. The branch is removed. An operating system scheduler schedules each of the one or more compute sub-kernels to the first processor core or to the second processor core. | 12-27-2012 |

20150246851 | Process For Production Of Graphene/Silicon Carbide Ceramic Composites - We provide a method for the in situ development of graphene containing silicon carbide (SiC) matrix ceramic composites, and more particularly to the in situ graphene growth within the bulk ceramic through a single-step approach during SiC ceramics densification using an electric current activated/assisted sintering (ECAS) technique. This approach allows processing dense, robust, highly electrical conducting and well dispersed nanocomposites having a percolated graphene network, eliminating the handling of potentially hazardous nanostructures. Graphene/SiC components could be used in technological applications under strong demanding conditions where good electrical, thermal, mechanical and/or tribological properties are required, such as micro and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS), sensors, actuators, heat exchangers, breaks, components for engines, armours, cutting tools, microturbines or microrotors. | 09-03-2015 |

20150152931 | BRAKE PAD LIFE MONITORING SYSTEM - A brake pad life monitoring system can monitor the wear of a brake pad operatively coupled to a rotor. The brake pad life monitoring system includes an erodible, electrically non-conductive covering layer operatively coupled to the brake pad such that wear of the erodible, electrically non-conductive covering layer corresponds to the wear of the brake pad. Further, the brake pad life monitoring system includes an electrical circuit having a circuit path from a power supply to a ground. The electrical circuit is at least partially disposed on the erodible, electrically non-conductive covering layer and includes a first resistor connected in series with the power supply and a second resistor electrically connected in parallel with the power supply. The brake pad life monitoring system additionally includes a measuring device electrically connected to the electrical circuit. | 06-04-2015 |

20150297436 | Surgical Supporting Device for the Alignment of the Foot, Ankle, Leg, Knee, Thigh and Full Leg - Providing a surgical support instrument for the alignment of the lower extremities comprising modular elements which provides an excellent and not invasive tool that may allow to obtain a 90 degree angle on the foot's sole vs. full leg (upper thigh, knee, leg, ankle and foot) and vice versa, as well as 90 degrees on the foot's sole vs. lower leg (lower leg, ankle and foot) and vice versa. The term patient's lower extremities alignment mainly refers to, but not exclusively, Ankle, Foot and Knee, and such alignment may help the surgeon to achieve a higher success rate on the surgery procedure. | 10-22-2015 |

20130077940 | VIDEO SEGMENT PRESENTATION TRACKING - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for tracking presentation of content. In one aspect, a method includes segmenting a video into two or more segments. Each segment of the video can be a variably selected disjoint subset of the video. A client-side video player determines that playback of the video has reached the end of one of the segments. A presentation type for the video is determined, where the presentation type being one of an advertisement presentation or a non-advertisement presentation. The playback data is provided to a server-side data processing apparatus that stores the playback data in a data store. The playback data indicate the presentation type for the video and that playback of the video reached the end of the one of the segments. | 03-28-2013 |
