20150315873 | Delayed Opening Pressure Actuated Ported Sub for Subterranean Use - A ported sub is operated with a pressure actuated shifting sleeve. A first rupture disc is set at a lower pressure than the test pressure for the tubing string that houses the ported sub. The first rupture disc breaks at a lower pressure than the string test pressure to expose well fluids to a disintegrating plug. The plug disintegrates over time to then expose tubing pressure to a chamber and a second rupture disc with the chamber configured to have no effect on moving the sliding sleeve. When the tubing pressure is then raised to a predetermined pressure below the test pressure for the string, the second disc breaks exposing a piston to tubing pressure on one side and trapped low pressure being the opposite side of the string. The differential moves the sleeve to open a port to let tools be pumped into position without a need to perforate.a | 11-05-2015 |

20130287029 | PREVENTING ILLICIT COMMUNICATIONS - The present invention inspects packets to identify session initiation messages associated with select applications. A session initiation message may be any message used to initiate a communication session with another communication client. Once a session initiation message from a select application is identified, the intended communication session may be identified, monitored, prevented, or otherwise processed in a predefined manner. These select applications may be illicit applications from which communication sessions are actually or potentially unlawful or otherwise improper. The illicit communication sessions that the present invention seeks to control may be used for voice communications as well as for transferring data and facilitating application collaboration, such as is used in video conferencing or file sharing. The session initiation messages need not be received directly from the originating communication client for inspection. Packet inspections may take place at any location, such as aggregation points throughout the packet networks. | 10-31-2013 |

20140355432 | Adaptive Bandwidth Control with Defined Priorities for Different Networks - A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code to receive data from a source at a plurality of gateways for distribution using a selected priority. The data is transmitted from the plurality of gateways to a plurality of receivers using the selected priority. Every gateway in the plurality of gateways has an adaptive bandwidth control process and a respective set of parameters for controlling the adaptive bandwidth control process for sending the data at the selected priority. Transmission of the data from each gateway for the selected priority has a different impact on other traffic at different gateways in the plurality gateways for the selected-priority when different values are set for the set of parameters for the different gateways. | 12-04-2014 |

20080256162 | X87 FUSED MULTIPLY-ADD INSTRUCTION - An x87 fused multiply-add (FMA) instruction in the instruction set of an x86 architecture microprocessor is disclosed. The FMA instruction implicitly specifies the two factor operands as the top two operands of the x87 FPU register stack and explicitly specifies the third addend operand as a third x87 FPU register stack register. The microprocessor multiplies the first two operands and adds the product to the third operand to generate a result. The result is stored into the third register and the first two operands are popped off the stack. In an alternate embodiment, the third operand is also implicitly specified as being stored in the register that is two registers below the top of stack register; the result is also stored therein. The instruction opcode value is in the x87 opcode range. | 10-16-2008 |
20110060943 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTION AND CORRECTION OF DENORMAL SPECULATIVE FLOATING POINT OPERAND - A microprocessor includes a plurality of execution units configured to receive instructions and operands thereof and to execute the instructions. An instruction scheduler issues the instructions to the execution units and selects sources of the instruction operands. At least one of the execution units detects one of the operands of one of the instructions is a denormal operand, generates an indication that the instruction needs to be replayed in response to detecting the denormal operand, and provides the denormal operand to the instruction scheduler in response to detecting the denormal operand, rather than normalizing the denormal operand. The instruction scheduler normalizes the denormal operand, in response to the indication, and causes the normalized operand, rather than the denormal operand, to be provided to the execution unit when the instruction is replayed. | 03-10-2011 |
20120143933 | CARRYLESS MULTIPLICATION UNIT - An apparatus having a carryless preformat unit, a Booth encoder, a compressor, a left shifter, and exclusive-OR logic. The carryless preformat unit receives a multiplier operand and partitions the multiplier operand into parts. The Booth encoder receives the parts and directs selection of first partial products of a multiplicand that do not reflect implicit carry operations. The compressor sums the first partial products via a configuration of carry save adders that generate sum bits and carry bits, where generation of the carry bits is disabled during execution of the carryless multiplication. The left shifter shifts bits of one or more outputs of the compressor. The exclusive-OR logic is coupled to the compressor and the left shifter, and is configured to execute an exclusive-OR function on the outputs to yield a carryless multiplication result. | 06-07-2012 |
20120143934 | MECHANISM FOR CARRYLESS MULTIPLICATION THAT EMPLOYS BOOTH ENCODING - An apparatus having operand registers, an opcode dectector, a carryless preformat unit, a compressor, a left shifter, and exclusive-OR logic. The operand registers receive operands for a carryless multiplication. The opcode dectector receives a carryless multiplication instruction, and asserts a carryless signal. The carryless preformat unit partitions a first operand into a plurality of parts that are such that a Booth encoder is precluded from selection of second partial products of a second operand, where the second partial products reflect implicit carry operations. The compressor sums first partial products of the second operand via carry save adders arranged in a Wallace tree configuration, where generation of carry bits is disabled. The left shifter shifts one or more outputs of the compressor. The exclusive-OR logic executes an exclusive-OR function to yield a carryless multiplication result. | 06-07-2012 |
20120144161 | CARRYLESS MULTIPLICATION PREFORMATTING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An apparatus is provided for performing carryless multiplication. The apparatus has an opcode dectector and a carryless preformat unit. The opcode dectector is configured to receive a carryless multiplication instruction, and is configured to assert a carryless signal responsive to receipt of the carryless multiplication instruction. The carryless preformat unit is configured to partition the first operand into parts responsive to assertion of the carryless signal, where the parts are configured such that a Booth encoder selects first partial products corresponding to a second operand and is precluded from selection of second partial products corresponding to the second operand, and where the second partial products are results of implicit carry operations. The first partial products are exclusive-ORed together to yield a carryless multiplication result. | 06-07-2012 |

20120002193 | Photoacoustic Joulemeter Utilizing Beam Deflection Technique - A joulemeter is capable of non-destructively measuring multiple characteristics of a laser beam. The joulemeter comprises a series of parallel probe beams, which are directed though a transparent media adjacent to an absorbing media that the tested beams pass through. Arrays of optical sensors or a chirp sensor are used to intercept and measure deflections the probe beams. A control unit renders measurements on selected properties of the laser. | 01-05-2012 |
