20110296146HARDWARE INSTRUCTIONS TO ACCELERATE TABLE-DRIVEN MATHEMATICAL FUNCTION EVALUATION - A set of instructions for implementation in a floating-point unit or other computer processor hardware is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an extended-range fused multiply-add operation, a first look-up operation, and a second look-up operation are each embodied in hardware instructions configured to be operably executed in a processor. These operations are accompanied by a table which provides a set of defined values in response to various function types, supporting the computation of elementary functions such as reciprocal, square, cube, fourth roots and their reciprocals, exponential, and logarithmic functions. By allowing each of these functions to be computed with a hardware instruction, branching and predicated execution may be reduced or eliminated, while also permitting the use of distributed instructions across a number of execution units.12-01-2011

20090070188PORTFOLIO AND PROJECT RISK ASSESSMENT - A system and method are provided for portfolio risk assessment. A user is prompted for answers to one or more questions that each relate to the risk of aspects of a project. The questions may take the form of a customized questionnaire, and the answers may be quantitative or qualitative. Compounding effects among the questions are identified. Based on these compounding effects, a compound risk score for the project is generated. In some implementations, correlating effects between projects are also identified. Based on these correlating effects, a correlated risk score for a project is generated. Some implementations may generate output data that allows a user to view projects individually and in combination to highlight compounding and correlating effects.03-12-2009

20100003733RECOVERY OF INORGANIC SALT DURING PROCESSING OF LIGNOCELLULOSIC FEEDSTOCKS - A method for recovering inorganic salt during processing of a lignocellulosic feedstock is provided. The method comprises pretreating the lignocellulosic feedstock by adding an acid to the feedstock to produce a pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock. A soluble base is then added to the pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock to adjust the pH and produce a neutralized feedstock. The neutralized feedstock is then enzymatically hydrolyzed to produce an enzyme hydrolyzed feedstock and a sugar stream. Inorganic salt is recovered from either a stream obtained from the lignocellulosic feedstock prior to the step of pretreating, a stream obtained from the pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock, a stream obtained from the neutralized feedstock, a stream obtained from the sugar stream, or a combination of these streams. The inorganic salt may be concentrated, clarified, recovered and purified by crystallization, electrodialysis drying, or agglomeration and granulation, and then used as desired, for example as a fertilizer.01-07-2010
