| 20100088669 | LOGICAL EXTENSIONS TO INTERMEDIATE CODE - An assembly aggregate comprising a virtual, logical view of an arbitrarily defined collection of intermediate code and metadata can be authored, factored, accessed, modified, and distributed. Multiple physical containers of assembly information can be aggregated to create a single logical assembly called an assembly aggregate. An assembly can thus be redefined as a logical view against (or projection over) the assembly aggregate. Such an assembly can be targeted to the requester: that is, an assembly can be redefined according to tool and/or execution context rather than conforming to explicit or implicit requirements enforced by the runtime. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100125558 | Framework for Open Dynamic Reflective Applications - A framework for open, dynamic, and reflective applications contains high level metadata that define blocks of composable elements using a service definition, which defines specific keys for using the block of code. The service definition may be exported from the code using reflection without having to load the code into memory, and decisions on which block of code and how to load the code may be made at runtime. The composable elements may be grouped into composable parts. Composable part definitions may be used to instantiate or produce composable parts. At runtime, dynamic applications may search from many composable elements, and instantiate and execute the composable element as part of the application. | 05-20-2010 |

| 20090078425 | FLEXIBLE HANG-OFF ARRANGEMENT FOR A CATENARY RISER - Flexible hang-off arrangement is provided for a catenary riser suspended from an offshore or inshore platform, which includes floating or fixed platforms, vessels or/and buoys. The bending loads in the top segments of the said riser are reduced by incorporating a pivot at the riser hang-off. Pressure containing welded, bolted, rolled or swaged pipe spools transfer fluids, including hydrocarbons between the riser and the platform. Along significant spool lengths the tangents to the center lines of said spools are orthogonal to and offset from the tangent to the center line of the riser at the hang-off. The said pressure containing spools include arbitrary looped, spiral and helicoidal designs that are subject to torsion. | 03-26-2009 |
