20100034363 | Telephonic Repeat Method - A method, system and computer program product for assigning one or more conditions to a telephonic communication system to enable recording, replaying, and pausing of a telephone conversation. Recording of a telephone conversation may be manually or dynamically initiated during the telephone conversation. Dynamic replay of a telephone conversation is automatically initiated when a conversation experiences insufficient call quality, an interruption to the telephone service is detected, the user is distracted, a displacement of the user's phone is detected, or the user toggles between listening modes. A pause mode is automatically entered into during the telephone conversation when a section of the telephone conversation is replayed. An automated pause alert may be played during repeat of the telephone conversation to inform one or more parties that the user is temporarily unavailable. Real-time access to the telephone conversation is resumed when the replaying of the recorded telephone conversation has ended. | 02-11-2010 |

20080250208 | System and Method for Improving the Page Crossing Performance of a Data Prefetcher - A system and method for improving the page crossing performance of a data prefetcher is presented. A prefetch engine tracks times at which a data stream terminates due to a page boundary. When a certain percentage of data streams terminate at page boundaries, the prefetch engine sets an aggressive profile flag. In turn, when the data prefetch engine receives a real address that corresponds to the beginning/end of a new page, and the aggressive profile flag is set, the prefetch engine uses an aggressive startup profile to generate and schedule prefetches on the assumption that the real address is highly likely to be the continuation of a long data stream. As a result, the system and method minimize latency when crossing real page boundaries when a program is predominately accessing long streams. | 10-09-2008 |
20090070556 | STORE STREAM PREFETCHING IN A MICROPROCESSOR - In a microprocessor having a load/store unit and prefetch hardware, the prefetch hardware includes a prefetch queue containing entries indicative of allocated data streams. A prefetch engine receives an address associated with a store instruction executed by the load/store unit. The prefetch engine determines whether to allocate an entry in the prefetch queue corresponding to the store instruction by comparing entries in the queue to a window of addresses encompassing multiple cache blocks, where the window of addresses is derived from the received address. The prefetch engine compares entries in the prefetch queue to a window of 2 | 03-12-2009 |
20090164509 | Method and System Using Prefetching History to Improve Data Prefetching Performance - Computer implemented method, system and computer program product for prefetching data in a data processing system. A computer implemented method for prefetching data in a data processing system includes generating attribute information of prior data streams by associating attributes of each prior data stream with a storage access instruction which caused allocation of the data stream, and then recording the generated attribute information. The recorded attribute information is accessed, and a behavior of a new data stream is modified using the accessed recorded attribute information. | 06-25-2009 |

20110308803 | Fracturing Method to Reduce Tortuosity - A series of jet nozzles have a telescoping structure designed to impact the borehole wall and initiate a fracture. The nozzles can be extended through fluid pumped through them or with some mechanical force from within the bottom hole assembly. The leading ends of the telescoping assembly can be sharp and hardened to facilitate the initiation of a formation fracture in an open hole. The telescoping structures can be disposed in a single or multiple rows with the circumferential spacing being such that each telescoping structure is designed to cover a target circumferential distance of 45 degrees or less so that jetted fluid from at least one jet will be within 22.5 degrees of a location of maximum formation stresses to reduce the tortuosity of the created fractures from jetting through the nozzles with possible enhancement of the fracturing from added annulus pressure. | 12-22-2011 |
20110315373 | Retention Mechanism for Subterranean Seals Experiencing Differential Pressure - A mandrel is formed with a projection, depression or a surface irregularity to retain the seal material sealing a passage in the mandrel or an annular space around it against differential pressure.

20120168180 | Isolation of Zones for Fracturing Using Removable Plugs - An interval can be divided into zones by inserting a series of plugs that register with specific profiles at predetermined intervals along a section of pipe. Each plug supports a releasable perforating gun that can release from the plug and perforate an interval for treatment such as fracturing or acidizing. A subsequent plug then isolates the just treated zone and the process is repeated working up toward the surface. When the full interval is treated the plugs can then be removed by making their cores disappear using a reaction or dissolving techniques. Mechanical alternative that push all the plugs to hole bottom or that retrieve them together or individually are possible alternative techniques for removal of the plugs from the treated interval before production is initiated. | 07-05-2012 |
