| 20120020447 | OPTIMIZED FUEL ASSEMBLY CHANNELS AND METHODS OF CREATING THE SAME - Fuel assemblies include an outer channel having a physical configuration optimized for a position of the fuel assembly within a core of a nuclear reactor. The position of the fuel assembly with respect to an employed control blade in the nuclear reactor determines if the outer channel may be thickened, reinforced, and/or fabricated of Zircaloy-4 or similar distortion-resistant material, so as to reduce or prevent distortion of the channel against the control blade, or thinned so as to increase water volume and enhance reactivity in the assembly. Reactor cores having configured fuel assemblies include fuel assemblies having different outer channels. Methods include determining operational characteristics of the fuel assembly, including likelihood of being placed directly adjacent to an employed control blade, and physically selecting or modifying the outer channel of the fuel assembly based thereon. | 01-26-2012 |

| 20090249702 | MOTORIZED ROTATING GUTTER - A gutter dumping assembly is actuatable to rotate a gutter from an initial, upright position to a downwardly-facing dumped position in order to dump debris from the gutter. The actuator is coupled to the gutter support by a flexible structure so that, after the actuator positively forces the gutter to an over-center position, the gutter falls to a dumped position under only the force of gravity. The gutter is supported by a number of spaced brackets, each of which includes an upper leg that is inclined downwardly and forwardly from the rear of the bracket so as to be hidden from view and to channel rainwater falling into the bracket into the gutter as opposed to against the building or outside of the gutter. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090249703 | Motorized Rotating Gutter - A roof-mounted actuator of a gutter dumping assembly is actuatable to rotate a gutter from an initial, upright position to a downwardly-facing dumped position in order to dump debris from the gutter. The actuator is coupled to the gutter support by a flexible structure so that, after the actuator positively engages a support for the gutter and forces it to an over-center position, the gutter falls to a dumped position under only the force of gravity. | 10-08-2009 |

| 20100246777 | LASER TARGETING COMPANION SYSTEM USED WITH MEDICAL IMAGING DEVICES - In various exemplary embodiments, a targeting device providing a visible indication of an invisible beam is disclosed. The invisible beam, such as an x-ray beam, is emitted by a radiation source on a medical imaging system. The targeting device includes, for example, an illumination source to produce a visible beam and operate at one or more wavelengths. The illumination source, which is opaque to the x-ray beam and would ordinarily cause shadows on the imaging system, is arranged to be mounted outside of a field-of-view of the invisible beam. A beam reflector is mounted next to the illumination source. The beam reflector is fabricated from a material invisible to x-rays and is arranged to be mounted within the field-of-view of the invisible beam. The beam reflector redirects the visible beam produced by the illumination source such that the visible beam is parallel to the field-of-view of the invisible beam. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20090177866 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FUNCTIONALLY REDUNDANT COMPUTING SYSTEM HAVING A CONFIGURABLE DELAY BETWEEN LOGICALLY SYNCHRONIZED PROCESSORS - A method of operating a computer system. A first processor sends a first unit of binary information to an input/output (I/O) unit. The I/O unit then conveys the first unit of binary information to a functional unit in the computer system. A system response from the functional unit is then received by the I/O unit, which forwards the system response to the first processor. The system response is also stored in a first buffer. After a predetermined delay time has elapsed, the system response is then forwarded to the second processor. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100064123 | HYBRID BRANCH PREDICTION DEVICE WITH SPARSE AND DENSE PREDICTION CACHES - A system and method for branch prediction in a microprocessor. A hybrid device stores branch prediction information in a sparse cache for no more than a common smaller number of branches within each entry of the instruction cache. For the less common case wherein an i-cache line comprises additional branches, the device stores the corresponding branch prediction information in a dense cache. Each entry of the sparse cache stores a bit vector indicating whether or not a corresponding instruction cache line includes additional branch instructions. This indication may also be used to select an entry in the dense cache for storage. A second sparse cache stores entire evicted entries from the first sparse cache. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20110093658 | CLASSIFYING AND SEGREGATING BRANCH TARGETS - A system and method for branch prediction in a microprocessor. A branch prediction unit stores an indication of a location of a branch target instruction relative to its corresponding branch instruction. For example, a target instruction may be located within a first region of memory as a branch instruction. Alternatively, the target instruction may be located outside the first region, but within a larger second region. The prediction unit comprises a branch target array corresponding to each region. Each array stores a bit range of a branch target address, wherein the stored bit range is based upon the location of the target instruction relative to the branch instruction. The prediction unit constructs a predicted branch target address by concatenating a bits stored in the branch target arrays. | 04-21-2011 |
