| 20120066372 | SELECTIVE REGISTRATION FOR REMOTE EVENT NOTIFICATIONS IN PROCESSING NODE CLUSTERS - An event notification system for distributed processing systems provides remote and local node event notification in systems that require local registration of an event consumer in order produce an event notifications. To provide notification of an event occurring on a remote node, either event consumers on all nodes in the cluster register locally to receive event notifications and specify that the event is a cluster event, in which case the nodes send notification of their locally-occurring events to all nodes, or remote registrations are accepted at nodes and if a local consumer for the event is not present, a listener thread registers as an event consumer. The listener thread sends the event notifications to the remote nodes registered as consumers for the event by observing communication between the event producer and the local consumer, or receiving the event notifications directly if there is no local consumer. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20120066694 | EVENT OVERFLOW HANDLING BY COALESCING AND UPDATING PREVIOUSLY-QUEUED EVENT NOTIFICATION - An event notification system for distributed processing systems provides reduction of queue space and event processing bandwidth associated with duplicate events such as a particular event that is duplicated and results in multiple event notifications propagated for multiple consumers. When a duplicate event notification is received at an input to an event notification queue, rather than queuing the duplicate event notification, a sequence number of the event notification already in the queue is updated to indicate to the event consumer, exactly how many duplicate events have been received. The timestamp of the updated event notification may also be set to the timestamp of the most recently received duplicate event notification. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20110114323 | Heat Generation Process for Treating Oilfield Deposits - Generating heat within a combination solvent/acid system removes undesirable deposits from petroleum reservoir formations (especially the near well-bore region), oilfield equipment, and petroleum processing equipment. An exothermic reaction occurs between the solvent and the acid and the heat evolved helps remove organic solid deposits. The acids may include organic acid compounds, such as sulfonic acids, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The solvents may include terpene- and terpene-derivative-containing solvents, including, but not necessarily limited to, limonene, pinene, dipentene, myrcene, turpentines and compounds having at least one double bond, such as methyl furan, dienes, styrene, vinyl acetate and the like. The exothermic reaction produces a great amount of heat, and together with using certain acids and solvents already known as effective to remove paraffin and asphaltene deposition, removing such deposits is improved. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20090065530 | Method and apparatus for a mold barrier - A mold barrier eliminates the establishment and continued resurgence of microbial colonies on product dispenser components routinely exposed to fluids and food products. The mold barrier may be utilized in a product dispenser to prevent the establishment of mold colonies on the product dispenser. The mold barrier adheres to potentially exposed surfaces to create an impenetrable boundary layer, thereby preventing the errant product from permeating into porous materials not suitable for product contact. Upon contacting the mold barrier, the errant product moves downward. Residues left from the errant product may be removed when the product dispenser and mold barrier are sanitized during routine cleansing operations. Upon sanitization, the product dispenser may be restored to a sanitized condition. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20090085679 | DUAL PATH PHASE LOCKED LOOP (PLL) WITH DIGITALLY PROGRAMMABLE DAMPING - In a method and apparatus for controlling damping and bandwidth in a phase locked loop (PLL), a loop filter is configured to have a dual path for charge pump current. A 3 dB bandwidth of the PLL is controlled by adjusting gain of a proportional current path. An integral current path includes a gating circuit to digitally control an amount of time an integral charge pump current received is passed through as an effective integral charge pump current. A resistor and capacitor (RC) circuit filters the proportional and effective integral charge pump currents, thereby providing a filtered input to a voltage controlled oscillator. Damping and hence peaking of the PLL is precisely controlled by sampling one of every p samples of the integral charge pump current to provide the effective integral charge pump current, p being an integer. | 04-02-2009 |
