Patent CA-2596865-A1 (CA)
Title: Power efficient instruction prefetch mechanism
Inventor: SMITH RODNEY WAYNE
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2006-02-03
Abstract: A processor includes a conditional branch instruction prediction mechanism that generates weighted branch prediction values. For weakly weighted predictions, which tend to be less accurate than strongly weighted predictions, the power associating with speculatively filling and subsequently flushing the cache is saved by halting instruction prefetching. Instruction fetching continues when the branch condition is evaluated in the pipeline and the actual next address is known. Alternatively, prefetching may continue out of a cache. To avoid displacing good cache data with instructions prefetched based on a mispredicted branch, prefetching may be halted in response to a weakly weighted prediction in the event of a cache miss.
Patent CA-2597150-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAMLIN JAMES K
IPC: H04L29/02
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for communicating data between a source application process and one or more destination application processes. This system and method perform conversion and routing functions which require only a single conversion of all outbound transmissions regardless of the variety of destinations, and only a single conversion of all inbound transmissions regardless of the variety of sources. The functions also enable changes, additions, and deletions of sources and destinations of transmissions to be made without modification of a source or destination application process and without taking a source or destination application process off-line. The functions further enable this system and method to be implemented in virtually any enterprise architecture without requiring that each processing system of the architecture be custom built. These conversion and routing functions are performed by first receiving data to be transmitted in a source format from a source application. This data are then converted from the source format to a standard format. Next, one or more destinations are identified in a database using a transaction type corresponding to the data and/or the address of the source application. After identifying the one or more destinations, a copy of the data is transmitted to each and the data are then converted from the standard format to a destination format.  Lastly, this converted data are passed to the destination process.
Patent CA-2601410-A1 (CA)
Inventor: VAN DE CAMP JOHANNES WILHELMUS
IPC: B65H75/18
Filed: 2007-09-11
Abstract: A tube having enhanced inner diameter stiffness is provided. The tube includes a wall having an inner zone, intermediate zone, and an outer zone.  The intermediate zone includes a plurality of partially offset and overlapped plies that form a number of non-radial spokes and voids extending from the inner zone and the outer zone. The non-radial spokes of the tube facilitate the transmission of torque from the inner zone to the outer zone during winding and handling operations, while insulating the inner diameter from radial pressure on the outer zone. The spokes and voids may essentially extend around the entire circumference and length of the tube and thus provide for more consistent properties throughout the tube.
