Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110175727APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELF-CONTAINED INSPECTION OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS - Provided herein are new apparatuses and related methods for an automated global shipping container inspection system for inspecting a shipping container during transportation at a shipping container handling facility including at least one detection device located within the shipping container and in communication with a computer communications network comprising electronic communication means for receiving from the detection device at least one comparison data set selected from the group consisting of an initial data set, a destination data set, and one or more interim data sets. The apparatus provides means responsive to the at least one comparison data set for determining an inspection fail status for the shipping container, such as when at least one comparison data set substantially mismatches another comparison data set for the same shipping container. The apparatus further provides means responsive to the receipt of the inspection fail status to indicate the need for further inspection of the shipping container.07-21-2011

20090154047Power Node Switching Center - A circuit fault detector and interrupter which consists of parallel current conduction paths, including a path through a mechanical contactor and a path through a power electronics switch. A fault can be detected by a fault detection circuit within 50 microseconds of the occurrence of the fault, causing the mechanical contactor to be opened and the fault current to be commutated via a laminated, low-inductance bus through the power electronics switch. The power electronics switch is thereafter turned off as soon as possible, interrupting the fault current. The fault current can be interrupted within 200 microseconds of the occurrence of the fault, and the device reduces or eliminates arcing when the mechanical contactor is opened.06-18-2009
20090321423STAND-UP MEMBRANE ROOFING INDUCTION HEATING TOOL - A portable induction heating tool is provided as a membrane roofing tool for use in sealing anchor plates with a heat-activated adhesive to a membrane roofing member. The tool uses two different audible tones so two tools can be used simultaneously on a single roof, while allowing a user to easily distinguish between the operation of both tools. The main housing containing electronics is weather-tight, and requires no forced-cooling devices. The controller automatically performs data logging functions, such as counting the number of anchor plates per job or per day that have been properly placed, counting the number of activation events for a tool's life, tracking the number of faults which occur as the tool is being used, and the controller can identify the type of fault that occurs during operation of the tool. The controller also stores energy setting changes in memory.12-31-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080222116LONGEST PREFIX MATCH (LPM) ALGORITHM IMPLEMENTATION FOR A NETWORK PROCESSOR - Novel data structures, methods and apparatus for finding the longest prefix match search when searching tables with variable length patterns or prefixes. To find the exact match or the best matching prefix, patterns have to be compared a bit at a time until the exact or first match is found. This requires ā€œnā€ number of comparisons or memory accesses to identify the closest matching pattern. The trees are built in such a way that the matching result is guaranteed to be a best match, whether it is an exact match or a longest prefix match. Using the trail of all the birds and associated prefix lengths enables determination of the correct prefix result from the trail. By construction, the search tree provides the best matching prefix at or after the first compare during walking of the trail or tree.09-11-2008

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080235305Dense prefix generation for garbage collection - A technique for establishing a dense prefix for a memory in a computer system. Memory is divided into a plurality of chunks. An efficiency factor is generated for each chunk in one or more chunks contained in the plurality of chunks. The efficiency factor may be based on an amount of memory to be reclaimed, an amount of memory to be scanned and an amount of memory to be copied relative to the chunk. A dense prefix is then established for the memory based on an efficiency factor associated with a chunk.09-25-2008
20080250088Concurrent evacuation of the young generation - The invention relates to a method for performing generational garbage collection on a heap comprising a plurality of generations. The method involves dividing a young generation of the heap into a first young generation and a second young generation, evacuating the first young generation concurrently with allocating the second young generation, and evacuating the second young generation concurrently with allocating the first young generation and subsequent to fully evacuating the first young generation.10-09-2008
20080263295Methods, apparatus, and program products for improved finalization - Apparatus, methods, and computer program products are disclosed that improve management of a dynamic memory area. One aspect is a method that reclaims memory referenced by a finalizable-object that has been instantiated from a class definition that incorporates at least one parent class and one or more class-extensions into a class hierarchy. The method includes marking for retention a related memory reachable from a reference field of the finalizable-object, and adding the finalizable-object to a finalization set for subsequent invocation of a non-trivial finalize-method. The method also determines whether the portion of the finalizable-object that includes the reference field to the related memory is a class-extension that has a finalizer-free characteristic and conditions the marking for retention on that determination. Thus, a portion the finalizable-object's related memory can be more quickly reclaimed from a dynamic memory area.10-23-2008
20090204654SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASYNCHRONOUS PARALLEL GARBAGE COLLECTION - A system and method for asynchronously graying and blackening objects in the marking phase of parallel garbage collection. The system and method use a matrix to control a series of linked list of work to be grayed and blackened. The threads of the garbage collector are each assigned entries within the matrix upon which they may either gray an entry in the linked list or blacken and entry on the linked list. Further restrictions upon the use of the matrix allow non-garbage collection thread to asynchronously or synchronously add objects to be processed by the garbage collector.08-13-2009
20090248766METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING PARALLEL MARKING GARBAGE COLLECTORS THAT USE EXTERNAL BITMAPS - A method for performing garbage collection involves obtaining a first reference bitmap including a block address and a set of mark bits, obtaining a first reference, identifying a mark bit of the set of mark bits based on the first reference, comparing an address associated with the mark bit with the first reference to generate a comparison, selecting an existing word from a global bit map based on the block address and the comparison, calculating a new word based on the set of mark bits and the existing word, replacing the existing word in the global bit map with the new word, and reclaiming a block of memory for reuse based on the global bit map after replacing the existing word.10-01-2009
20100042799EFFICIENT OBJECT PINNING IN A MULTI-THREADED ENVIRONMENT - Improvements to apparatus, methods, and computer program products are disclosed to improve the efficiency of pinning objects in a heap memory that is subject to a garbage collection system.02-18-2010
20100228796MEMORY MANAGEMENT OF SOFT REFERENCES - A garbage collector determines a target amount of heap space to deallocate, estimates an amount of heap space reachable by a plurality of soft references by determining a cumulative size of no more than an exploration bound N number of objects reachable from each soft reference, and deallocates heap space based on the target amount and the estimate of the heap space reachable from the soft references. Deallocating heap space may include clearing at least one soft reference. If the estimate is inaccurate, it may be utilized regardless or modified to account for inaccuracy. The least-recently-used or the largest soft reference may be cleared until the total cleared space reachable exceeds the target amount. By performing a bounded analysis, the garbage collector may be able to make a more informed decision about whether to clear a soft reference without consuming the full amount of resources consumed by an exhaustive analysis.09-09-2010
