IPC: G07D7/1205
Filed: 2009-02-27
Abstract: A security device for authenticating bank notes, documents and other items, comprises a luminescent material for producing luminescent radiation of first and second wavelengths. The security device includes an optically variable structure for controlling emission of luminescent radiation of at least one of the first and second wavelengths from the security device, the security device being arranged to permit, from an area of the optically variable structure, emission of luminescence of the first and second wavelengths from the security device. The optically variable structure causes the relative emissivity of the security device for luminescent radiation of the first and second wavelengths to change with a change in emission angle, so that the security device produces an angle-dependent colour shift in the emitted luminescent radiation. The optically variable structure may comprise an optical interference stack that controls transmission of luminescent radiation therethrough in response to the wavelength of luminescent radiation.

Title: Automated build-by-layer rainbow pallet system
Inventor: MITCHELL PAT R
IPC: B65G1/18
Filed: 2007-06-28
Abstract: An automated build-by-layer rainbow pallet system comprises a layer build track and a layer build cart that carries a layer build robot and a number of positions for building rainbow pallets, for storing emptied supply pallets, and for storing empty half -pallets. On the rail-sides are dozens or hundreds of supply pallet conveyors for pallets of products to be picked- from when building the rainbow pallets. These are placed on one or both sides of the layer build track. The layer build robot can position itself in front of the appropriate supply pallet conveyor for picking. Once in position, half or full layers can be picked from the supply pallets and positioned over the target rainbow pallet to be built and then set on top. The process of picking and building layers as the layer build cart repositions in front of the appropriate supply pallet conveyor is repeated until all of the on-board rainbow pallets have been built. The layer building cart returns to an unloading area where the emptied supply pallets and built rainbow pallets are conveyed off to respective exit conveyors. Several empty pallets are then moved from an empty pallet supply, and placed in the individual rainbow pallet build locations either by robot or conveying. The system is then ready to build more rainbow pallets. The system is controlled by a software program for orchestrating the overall movement and building of pallets.

Title: System for condition-based maintenance of complex equipment and structures
Inventor: HUDON CLAUDE
IPC: G01R31/34
Filed: 2009-05-27
Abstract: The integrated diagnostic system provides an integrated methodology for generator diagnostics using the results from on-site measurement tools, which help the utility to make the transition from time-based maintenance to condition-based maintenance. The system makes use of information technology (Internet) to provide a new, modern and efficient way to produce a continuous classification of the condition of all generators of a fleet along with individual diagnostics for any unit at any time. The system computes actual measurements provided by plant personnel who transfer data files to a centralized server. The application calculates simple condition indexes from each one of on-line/off-line diagnostic tools and from visual inspections, and aggregates the results into a comprehensive global diagnostic for the selected generator. Plant and generator selection is done via a user-friendly interface displaying a simple rating of the results for every tool. The algorithm underlying the system generates a global diagnostic for any combination of tools, regardless of their number and selection. The level of confidence of the diagnostic increases with the number of tools used for the diagnostic. In addition to the simplified integrated condition index values of all generators and the individual index for each tool, specialists can access and display the complete data for every measurement series. The tools are selected based on their ability to characterize specific complementary aspects of the generator. Since the system is developed with an expandable modular approach, it is possible to add new diagnostic tools without affecting the logic of the system. The ready availability of centralized, simplified information makes it possible for generator specialists and managers alike to assess the condition of any generator in a few minutes. Technical and management staff can work together with common information and in real time to optimize maintenance intervention on generators showing degradation. Thus, it is possible to plan any corrective action more effectively or request additional testing when doubts remain about active degradation mechanisms. At the same time, efforts in diagnosis and maintenance can be optimized by reducing the number of measurement campaigns for the vast majority of generators that are in good condition as revealed by their condition indexes.

Title: Lock-free state merging in parallelized constraint satisfaction problem solvers
Inventor: BROWN JR ALLEN L
IPC: G06F9/06
Filed: 2007-11-19
Abstract: Solver state merging in parallel constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) solvers. Solver state during processing of a computational thread of parallel CSP solvers is represented as a set of support graphs. The support graphs are merged in a pairwise fashion, yielding a new conflict-free graph. The merge process is free of cycles, conflicts are removed, and thread processing is lock-free. The architecture can be applied, generally, in any CSP solver (e.g., a Boolean SAT solver) having certain formal properties. A system is provided that facilitates solver processing, the system comprising a bookkeeping component for representing input solver state of a computational thread as a set of graphs, and a merge component for pairwise merging of at least two input graphs of the set of graphs into a merged graph that represents final state of the computational thread.

Filed: 2009-10-23
Abstract: A flow-actuated pressure equalization valve, for use with a downhole tool such as a treatment tool, for use in stimulating a subterranean formation. The purpose of the equalization valve is to allow the pressure of treatment fluid in a treatment tubing to be equalized with pressure in an annulus, formed by the treatment tool and the completion string, below a bottom isolation device. Once the pressure above and below the bottom isolation device is equalized, the treatment tool can be moved within the completion string without being damaged. As the treatment fluid flow rate down the treatment tubing is increased, the equalization valve begins to shift. Once the treatment fluid exceeds a preset rate, the valve closes and the flow is contained between isolation devices on the treatment tool. Once the flow rate drops off, the valve reopens and the pressure above and below the bottom isolation device equalizes.
