Title: Interrupting export of memory regions
Inventor: GARETH RHYS STOCKWELL
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2017-06-28
Abstract: Memory access circuitry enforces ownership rights of memory regions within a first memory (e.g. Figure 3), a given memory region having a given owning process specified from among a plurality of processes, such as a virtual machine or hypervisor (e.g. Figure 2), which may be an untrusted hypervisor. The given owning process has exclusive rights to control access to given owned data stored within the given memory region. The circuitry is responsive to a first export command for the given memory region received from a first export command source to perform a first export operation to encrypt the given owned data and store this in a second memory (e.g. paging or swapping to a disk). If a second export command for the given memory region received from a second export command source is received while the first export operation is being performed, it is determined whether the second export command source has higher priority position (e.g. privilege) within a control hierarchy than the first. If so, the first export operation is interrupted to perform a second export operation; if the second export command source has a lower priority, the first export operation continues and the second export operation is blocked.

Title: Enhanced oil recovery compositions and methods thereof
Inventor: VARADARAJAN DWARAKANATH
IPC: C09K8/588
Filed: 2016-09-02
Abstract: Additional oil recovery is obtained from a reservoir with a composition comprising at least a coupling solvent typically employed in waterborne coating compositions. Provided herein are embodiments of methods of recovering hydrocarbons using at least one coupling solvent, such as an oxygenated coupling solvent. The coupling solvent increases the mutual solubility with water at the injection temperature to facilitate the mixing and injection, particularly with an optional co-solvent. The coupling solvent helps mitigate formation plugging and improve performance when injected into a formation, as the solvent mixture moves from being miscible in the injection field water to being miscible in the reservoir oil, mobilizing the reservoir oil to increase oil recovery.
