| 20090266551 | LOW PROFILE INTERNAL TREE CAP - An internal tree cap having a running configuration and a latched configuration to be selectively secured to a tree spool. The tree cap may include an inner sleeve movable between upper and lower positions. The movement of the inner sleeve to the lower position may simultaneously engage a locking profile within the tree spool and energize a sealing element around the exterior of the tree cap. The tree cap may be a low profile tree cap that is flush with the top of the tree spool when installed. The tree cap may provide a collateral beneficial locking means to secure a tubing hanger within the tree spool. A lower housing may be attached to the tree cap to seal on the exterior of the upper neck of the tubing hanger. The tree cap may include a profile to accept a wireline plug. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100000739 | VARIABLE BUOYANCY SUBSEA RUNNING TOOL - A variable buoyancy subsea running tool for use with subsea transportable devices, such as a tree cap. The buoyancy of the running tool may be varied through fluid or gas displacement in one or more containers. Alternatively, the running tool may be configured with a buoy that has static buoyancy, with the buoyancy of the running tool being varied through the addition of a counterweight. The running tool can be used to install or uninstall a tree cap on a subsea tree. Installation of a tree cap may be actuated by a remotely operated vehicle. Additionally, the running tool may be moved by a remotely operated vehicle and may have additional features such as a position locator device. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100288503 | SUBSEA CONNECTOR - A subsea connector that includes a connector capable of selectively connecting to a spool body to form a connector assembly. The subsea connector may include an adapter ring that is capable of connecting the spool body to the connector. The connector assembly may be lowered onto a wellhead member and locked into place by a movable piston and split lock ring. While the connector assembly is in the unlocked state, the adapter ring may be rotated moving the connector up or down with respect to the spool body, which lands on the wellhead member. The movement of the connector may be used to vary the alignment of the connector locking means with respect to the locking profile of the wellhead member. This change in position may be used to modify the preload force applied to the connector when locked onto the wellhead member. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20090248777 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR HARDWARE ASSISTS FOR MICROCODED FLOATING POINT DIVIDE AND SQUARE ROOT - Systems, methods and computer program products for hardware assists for microcoded floating point divide and square root operations. Exemplary embodiments include a method including receiving a first microcoded instruction in the pipeline, decoding the first microcoded instruction in a decode stage of the pipeline, initiating a microcode engine coupled to the processor, with the microcode engine configured to process the streamlined microcode routine. During the delay between detecting the need to start a microcode routine and seeing the first microcode instruction actually issued, and using the processor cycle intended for the original instruction, hardware prepares for the microcode by pre-normalizing the operand, writing the pre-normalized operand to a scratch register coupled to the processor, conditionally generating a final result and discarding microcode routine instructions subsequent to the first microcode routine instruction and copying a final result from the scratch register to a floating point architectural register associated with the processor. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20110245283 | Methods for predicting the response to statins - The invention provides methods for optimizing therapeutic efficacy for treating hypercholesterolemia in a subject having a cardiovascular disease (CVD), comprising (a) determining subject characteristics that affect the likelihood of reaching a goal level of low density lipoprotein (LDL); and (b) obtaining success probabilities of a variety of statin treatments for reaching said goal level of LDL using said subject characteristics and a multivariate model; and (c) administrating the optimal statin treatment with the highest success probability of step (b) to said subject thereby optimizing therapeutic efficacy for treating hypercholesterolemia in said subject. | 10-06-2011 |
