20110258361PETAFLOPS ROUTER - Disclosed is a method and system for performing operations on at least one input data vector in order to produce at least one output vector to permit easy, scalable and fast programming of a petascale equivalent supercomputer. A PetaFlops Router may comprise one or more PetaFlops Nodes, which may be connected to each other and/or external data provider/consumers via a programmable crossbar switch external to the PetaFlops Node. Each PetaFlops Node has a FPGA and a programmable intra-FPGA crossbar switch that permits input and output variables to be configurably connected to various physical operators contained in the FPGA as desired by a user. This allows a user to specify the instruction set of the system on a per-application basis. Further, the intra-FPGA crossbar switch permits the output of one operation to be delivered as an input to a second operation. By configuring the external crossbar switch, the output of a first operation on a first PetaFlops Node may be used as the input for a second operation on a second PetaFlops Node. An embodiment may provide an ability for the system to recognize and generate pipelined functions. Streaming operators may be connected together at run-time and appropriately staged to allow data to flow through a series of functions. This allows the system to provide high throughput and parallelism when possible. The PetaFlops Router may implement the user desired instructions by appropriately configuring the intra-FPGA crossbar switch on each PetaFlops Node and the external crossbar switch.10-20-2011

20100185651RETRIEVING AND DISPLAYING INFORMATION FROM AN UNSTRUCTURED ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT COLLECTION - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer storage media, for retrieval and display of information from an unstructured electronic document collection. One aspect can be embodied in machine-implemented methods that include the actions of receiving a machine-readable search query from a user and responding to the search query with instructions for presenting the user with a structured presentation of instances relevant to the search query. A visual presentation of the structured presentation denotes associations between the instances and values that characterize attributes of the instances by virtue of an arrangement of identifiers of the instances and the values.07-22-2010
20100185666ACCESSING A SEARCH INTERFACE IN A STRUCTURED PRESENTATION - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer storage media, for accessing a search interface from a structured presentation. One aspect can be embodied in machine-implemented methods that include the actions of displaying a structured presentation on a display device, receiving data characterizing a user interaction with the displayed structured presentation, the data including a specification of a first instance and a first attribute of the structured presentation, and displaying a formerly concealed search interface on the display device in response to receiving the data.07-22-2010
20110106819IDENTIFYING A GROUP OF RELATED INSTANCES - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying a group of related instance identifiers. In one aspect, a computer storage medium is encoded with a computer program. The program comprises instructions that when executed by data processing apparatus cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations. The operations include receiving a search query at a data processing apparatus, the search query specifying attributes shared by a group of related instances, searching an electronic document collection to identify instance identifiers that are responsive to the search query, representing features of the instance identifiers in a vertex-edge graph, and scoring relevance of the instance identifiers to the search query according to the features represented in the vertex-edge graph.05-05-2011

20110064181NEUTRON MONITORING SYSTEMS INCLUDING GAMMA THERMOMETERS AND METHODS OF CALIBRATING NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS USING GAMMA THERMOMETERS - A method of calibrating a nuclear instrument using a gamma thermometer may include: measuring, in the instrument, local neutron flux; generating, from the instrument, a first signal proportional to the neutron flux; measuring, in the gamma thermometer, local gamma flux; generating, from the gamma thermometer, a second signal proportional to the gamma flux; compensating the second signal; and calibrating a gain of the instrument based on the compensated second signal. Compensating the second signal may include: calculating selected yield fractions for specific groups of delayed gamma sources; calculating time constants for the specific groups; calculating a third signal that corresponds to delayed local gamma flux based on the selected yield fractions and time constants; and calculating the compensated second signal by subtracting the third signal from the second signal. The specific groups may have decay time constants greater than 5×1003-17-2011

20090096431Optimal load controller method and device - A method and device for optimizing power output of a power generation system having a load engaging system, a load optimizing system, a load selection system, a motive driver and one or more loads or power transfer parameters. The power generation system is configured using an electrical generator to consume system power out. The load engaging system decides when and how the load or power transfer parameters are applied to and removed from the system. The load selection system enables multiple power transfer parameters to be optimized by selecting and isolating one power transfer parameter at a time to be optimized. The load optimizing system optimizes system power output by manipulating the selected power transfer parameter, dynamically in response to change in power output.04-16-2009
