Title: Resteering a failing speculation check instruction by sending a branch offset immediate value to the pipeline
Inventor: GIBSON JAMES DOUGLAS
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2001-01-29
Abstract: A method for resteering a failing speculation check instruction is disclosed. A calculation is speculated, the validity of the calculation is checked using a CHK instruction, and if the calculation is invalid, a recovery target address is calculated. Calculating the recovery address comprises, sending a branch offset immediate value to the pipeline and sending a current instruction pointer (IP) corresponding to the CHK instruction to the pipeline. The recovery target address is then calculated, using an IP-relative branch adder to add the immediate value and the current IP value. The pipeline then branches to the recovery target address. The recovery target address may be sent to an instruction fetch unit that retrieves a target instruction and sends the instruction to the pipeline. The immediate value may be stored in a register of an integer data path and routed to a branch unit of the pipeline. The current IP may be routed from an exception handling unit (or XPN unit) to the branch unit. The immediate value, the current IP value and the recovery address may be tracked through the pipeline using a sequencer.

Title: Shear wave determination using multi-pole wave
Inventor: HAUGLAND SAMUEL MARK
IPC: G01V1/48
Filed: 2005-01-28
Abstract: A method for determining a formation shear wave velocity in a slow formation includes propagating 202 a multi-pole acoustic signal in a borehole using an acoustic transmitter and receiving 204 an acoustic waveform at a receiver or array of receivers.

Title: Aneurysmal sack deflator
Inventor: WEST STEPHEN
IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 2006-02-23
Abstract: An aneurysmal sack deflator is disclosed including a body having an aneurysmal sack neck closure surface 14. An internal surface defines at least a portion of a fluid passageway, with the internal surface configured to provide a Venturi effect to thereby reduce fluid pressure in the fluid passageway. A semi-permeable region 16 is in fluid communication with the fluid passageway and the aneurysmal sack. The semi-permeable region permits first blood components to pass therethrough out of the aneurysmal sack 22 and into the fluid passageway 20 (see arrow B) when the lower surface is under reduced pressure and does not permit second blood components to pass therethrough. Fluid pressure upon the aneurysmal sack wall is thereby reduced, whilst the sack content is drawn back into the bloodstream without unwanted components.

Title: A domestic water saving apparatus
Inventor: GIBSON ALBERT
IPC: E03B7/04
Filed: 2006-06-17
Abstract: A water saving apparatus that harnesses the cold water that initially emerges from a hot water outlet for a sink or bath, the apparatus allows the water to be recycling for further use and prevents total loss of the cold water. The apparatus comprises a thermostatic valve located in the waste outlet pipe of a sink or bath that redirects water that does not fall within a predetermined temperature range into either the hot or cold water supply pipes. Preferably the water passes through water purifiers located between the thermostatic valve and the hot and cold water supply pipes. A non return valve on the hot and cold water supply pipes prevents water from flowing back into the waste pipe. When the water reaches a predetermined temperature, the thermostatic valve opens and at this point the user should place the sink/bath plug in the sink/bath.
