Title: NC-SI port controller
Inventor: FABRICE JEAN VERPLANKEN
IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 2014-11-07
Abstract: A Network Controller-Sideband Interface (NC-SI) Port Controller (NPC) 23 of a Network Interface Controller (NIC) provides a sideband connection between the network 2 and a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) 17. Pass-through traffic to and from the BMC are injected and extracted by the XBB 16 and RBB 6 units of the Host Ethernet Adapter 3 part of the NIC. Asynchronous event notification (AEN) pseudopackets giving status information about the NIC are compiled 28 and injected into the data route of the NPC that carries packets from the BMC. Both of those kinds of packet pass by a packet parser 30 with the AEN pseudo-packets being dropped but their content being assembled by the NPC into an AEN packet which is then injected into the data route of the NPC that carries packets bound for the BMC. The packet parser analyses data transmitted from the sideband endpoint (BMC) towards the network and identifies NC-SI requests from the BMC and provides response packets in the same way. A buffer may be employed in the transmit route for packets from the BMC headed towards the network. The buffer may employ a sliding window circuit connect ro provide a section of the data in the buffer to the packet parser. The NPC may also comprise an arbiter 21, 22, to arbitrate traffic to or from the BMC.

Title: Hydrostatic setting mechanism for a subterranean tool without rupture discs
Inventor: PAUL J CONNIFF
IPC: E21B23/06
Filed: 2015-12-07
Abstract: A hydrostatically set tool operates by pressure buildup on one side of a piston that builds up pressure to the same degree on the opposite side of the piston. There is a valve assembly on the opposite side of the piston that at a predetermined pressure on a high pressure side of the valve assembly allows the assembly to open to mix high pressure on the opposite side of the piston with pressure in an atmospheric or low pressure chamber. This reduces the pressure on one side of the piston and makes the piston move to set the tool. Optionally the piston can be urged to move with low pressure differential such as with sizing of the port leading into the atmospheric chamber so that piston bore warping is reduced from the low differential pressures
