An optimum thread count for the current level based on the size of node grouping in the node tree is identified from compiled testing data. Dynamic parallel processing of nodes in the current level is performed using the number of threads identified by the optimum thread count. An acceptable design of the chip is determined by the dynamic parallel processing. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20090152211 | Hot water sterilization of water filtration beds - Hot Water Sterilization of Activated Carbon beds or other adsorbents in filter tanks by including an electric or steam heating coil in the tank, alternately in the gravel underdrains, or in a plenum underdrain, or in an external canister. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090178555 | Pressure in line degassing process in water treatment - When water sprays into an empty tank or into the freeboard of filters, considerable flashing occurs to release about 50 to 80% of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other gases. The injection of air with the water enhances this degasification and produces a partial drained tank, in which it is required for the spraying or flashing to occur. When the water level reaches a low point, a switch signals for the vent to be opened and the air is stopped. But the inlet water continues to fill the tank and to displace the gasses through the vent. When the water reaches the vent, a high level switch closes the vent. Air injection starts again to repeat the cycle. Alternately, the injection of air with the influent water into a partially drained tank with a level controller and venting also effects this degasification. | 07-16-2009 |

| 20080252475 | Monitoring Method and Apparatus Using Asynchronous, One-Way Transmission from Sensor to Base Station - A monitoring system is disclosed, which includes a base station and at least one sensor unit that is separate from the base station. The sensor unit resides in a dormant state that uses no power, until it is awaked by the triggering of vibration-sensitive switch. Once awakened, the sensor may take a measurement, then transmit to the base station the measurement along with a time stamp of when the measurement was made. The sensor may optionally store the measured quantity and the time stamp for a particular length of time in a suitable storage device, such as with compact flash memory. The sensor transmits the measured quantity and the time stamp to the base station in an asynchronous manner. The transmission is initiated by the vibration-sensitive switch, not by the base station. The time stamp is encoded in a suitable manner, such as with an IRIG-B timing module. Once data is transmitted from the sensor to the base station, the sensor may return to its dormant state. Transmission between the sensor and the base station is one-way, so that the sensor does not receive any information from the base station. There may be multiple sensors for each base station, and the various sensors may optionally measure different quantities, such as current, voltage, single-axis and/or three-axis magnetic fields, that may correspond to physical quantities such as torsional strain, linear strain, temperature, ball valve cycles and linear voltage displacement transducer signals. The sensor may optionally include an energy harvester, such as a solar panel, for reducing and/or eliminating the drain on its battery. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20110092142 | Retaining Rings - Retaining rings are presented with specially designed inserts that increase rigidity and improve heat dissipation. Inserts that are more rigid, and that have better ability to conduct heat, are inserted into pockets positioned along the outer portion of the rings. The pockets do not compromise the upper, lower or inner portion of the rings. Because the inserts are more rigid than the material used in the body of the ring, they absorb the deforming forces resulting from fastening the ring to the carrier head. Because they are better conductors than the material used in the body of the ring, the ring is better able to dissipate heat generated during polishing. Moreover, because the inserts are positioned in the outer portion of the ring, the inserts are not exposed to the polishing surface during polishing and therefore are less likely to react undesirably with the chemicals used during polishing. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20090148613 | Method of fabricating optical fiber using an isothermal, low pressure plasma deposition technique - An isothermal, low pressure-based process of depositing material within a substrate has been developed, and is particularly useful in forming an optical fiber preform results in creating an extremely narrow reaction zone within which a more uniform and efficient deposition will occur. Sets of isothermal plasma operating conditions have been found that create a narrow deposition zone, assuring that the deposited material is clear glass rather than soot particles. The exhaust end of the tube is connected to a vacuum system which is in turn connected to a scrubber apparatus for removal and neutralization of reaction by-products. The operating conditions are selected such that the hot plasma does not transfer a substantial amount of heat to the substrate tube, where the presence of such heat has been found to result in vaporizing the reactant material (creating soot) and developing hot spots. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20110052128 | Optical Fiber Preform With Improved Air/Glass Interface Structure - An optical fiber preform comprising a plurality of longitudinal air holes is subjected to a thermal treatment (i.e., heating), coupled with the application of a compressive force on either end of the heated preform to compress the entire preform structure a predetermined amount. The thermal compression treatment has been found to smooth any roughened glass surfaces and heal microcracks that may have formed during the preform fabrication process, essentially “knitting” the glass material back together and forming a preform of improved quality over the prior art microstructured preforms. | 03-03-2011 |
