Filed: 2015-08-19
Abstract: A system 100 and method comprises receiving by a system server 130 an order request for at least one ordered item from a client device 120; associating, by the system server, a unique identifier 164 being attached to a packaging item 163, with a client and the order request; and detecting, by a scanning device 110, 190, the unique identifier to generate order status information for the system server. Feedback information may be generated for the client based on the order status information. The system server may further determine a packaging type for delivering the ordered item and provide the unique identifier for the packaging item of the determined type. The unique identifier may be an RFID chip, a barcode, or a QR code, amongst other examples, which may be read by a scanning device such as an active area 162 of a smart table 160. A smart table may include a number of applications which may be activated by detecting the unique identifier of the packaging item.

Title: Instructions and logic to provide advanced paging capabilities for secure enclave page caches
Inventor: ROZAS CARLOS V
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2015-04-01
Abstract: A processor has multiple hardware threads and an enclave page cache. The processor has a first instruction to prevent new address translations being created. This instruction takes the address of a page in a secure enclave as a as a parameter. It prevents new entries being made in a translation look-aside buffer for that page. The processor has a second instruction to record the threads accessing an enclave. This instruction specifies the enclave identifier as a parameter and records the number of hardware threads accessing the enclave. The number is decremented whenever a thread exits the enclave. The processor has a third instruction to evict a page from an enclave page cache. The instruction takes the page address to evict as a parameter. It writes the page back to memory if the number of threads accessing the enclave is zero.

Title: Street asset mapping
Inventor: JAMES KENT
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2016-09-05
Abstract: A method of classifying physical elements, such as street assets, in a plurality of images for producing a map of physical objects 24 involves receiving input data regarding a range of physical locations and searching the input data using a learned algorithm to identify common physical elements and a likely respective location of said identified physical elements. The method may further comprise dividing the range of physical locations into a grid of regular sized areas 1-9, having grid points in assigned Cartesian or GPS coordinates. Existing map data may be received and overlaid with the range of physical locations.

The head has a surface area of 3 to 80 mm2 and fits into a 10-200 microlitre volume reaction well/tube. The biological sample comprising nucleic acid is collected on the head by contacting the head and the sample. Amplification is carried out on the nucleic acid in the sample. The flocked head may be a sphere or drop-shape and have a diameter of 1 to 6 millimeters. The flocked head can be treated with a predetermined concentration of chaotropic agent(s), such as 500 to 1500 mM guanidium thiocyanate. Treatment can be contacting the flocked head with a solution of the chaotropic agent(s) before collecting the biological sample. The nucleic acid sample may be contacted with a solution of the chaotropic agents before adding the flocked head for collecting the sample. The sample may or may not be released from the head before amplification. Alternatively, the fibres may be coated with a chaotropic agent.

Title: Tubing condition monitoring
Inventor: FREDERIC JOSEPH SANTARELLI
IPC: E21B47/06
Filed: 2018-07-15
Abstract: A method of condition monitoring of tubing(10) in an injection well (12). A baseline measurement of friction loss in the tubing is taken by obtaining pressure responses at the wellhead(34) and downhole for a number of injection rates. After a period of time, pressure responses at the wellhead and downhole are taken when the well is shut-in. Analysis of the Instantaneous Shut-In Pressure (ISIP) at the wellhead and downhole on shut-in provide the friction loss in the tubing for the last injection rate before shut-in. A comparison can be made with the baseline measurement of friction loss to indicate deterioration of the inner surface of the tubing if the friction loss has increased. The baseline measurement may be made using a step rate test or by analysis of the combined ISIP. Thee method could be repeated over multiple shut-ins
