Title: Peripheral Communication
Inventor: ELAHI JUNAID
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 2011-12-12
Abstract: Peripherals 18 (timer), 20 (DAC), 22 (UART), 24 (encryption engine), 26 (voltage comparator) are connected to processor 6 and programmable peripheral interconnect (PPI) 10. One peripheral signals an event to PPI, and one( task receiving) peripheral responds to a task signal from PPI by performing a task. Task-receiving peripheral has a task register, addressable by processor 6, and performs the task in response to a change in contents of task register. Interconnect 10 accesses memory 14 storing mapping between events of first peripheral and tasks of second peripheral, the mapping comprising: event identification; address of task register. The mapping causes interconnect 10 to provide a channel by sending a task signal to second peripheral in response to event signal from first peripheral. Power saving is provided by allowing processor 6 to remain in sleep state while peripherals communicate directly. By using register addresses of task-receiving peripheral, channels are established easily.

Title: Decentralized load distribution to reduce power and/or cooling cost in an event-driven system
Inventor: LAKSHMANAN GEETIKA
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2010-05-04
Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computer readable storage medium directed to decentralized load placement in an event-driven system so as to minimize energy and cooling related costs. Included are receiving a data flow to be processed by a plurality of tasks at a plurality of nodes in the event-driven system having stateful and stateless event processing components, wherein the plurality of tasks are selected from the group consisting of hierarchical tasks (a task that is dependent on the output of another task), nonhierarchical tasks (a task that is not dependent on the output of another task) and mixtures thereof. Nodes are considered for quiescing whose current tasks can migrate to other nodes while meeting load distribution and energy efficiency parameters and the expected duration of the quiesce provides benefits commensurate with the costs of quiesce and later restart. Additionally, tasks are considered for migrating to neighbor nodes to distribute the system load of processing the tasks and reduce cooling costs.

Title: Changing the solute level of shaped metal objects
Inventor: WARD-CLOSE CHARLES MALCOLM
IPC: B22F3/24
Filed: 2012-03-01
Abstract: A method of producing a metal object by performing a net-shape or near-net shape manufacturing process to produce the object which is non-porous and has an average solute level which is at least equal to the average solute level of the metal before shaping, and then changing the solute level of the object. The method can be used to process objects made of titanium alloys by forming the object by metal injection moulding titanium powder, removing solute from the object, optionally homogenising the object, and then adding solute to the object. The solute can be oxygen, carbon, hydrogen or nitrogen. Solute can be removed by exposing at least part of the object to a fluid which comprises a chemical reactant such as an alkali earth metal which reacts differently with the solute and the metal. The fluid can also comprise a flux such as calcium chloride.

Title: Method of preventing dropped casing string with axial load sensor
Inventor: SCHNEIDER WARREN P
IPC: E21B19/10
Filed: 2010-09-01
Abstract: A method of running casing into a well utilizes a load sensor to avoid dropping the casing string accidentally. The rig has a spider (17) at the rig floor (11) that suspends a casing string (15) in the well when in a gripping position. A casing lifting mechanism will place a new joint of casing (45) on the casing string (15) suspended in the spider (17). The new joint of casing (45) is rotated to make up with the casing string (15). After makeup, the casing lifting mechanism lifts the new joint of casing and the casing string (15). The operator releases the spider (17) to allow the casing string (15) to be lowered further into the well. Before releasing the spider (17), a load sensor will send a signal indicating that the casing lifting mechanism is supporting a minimum amount of weight.

Title: Remote storage and retrieval of messages
Inventor: JOHNSTON CHRISTOPHER IAIN
IPC: H04W4/14
Filed: 2012-11-06
Abstract: A message (SMS, MMS, text message, for example) addressed to a telephone number associated with a communication device is stored remote from the communication device (i.e. at an SMS message center). A notification is sent to the communication device containing information which indicates that a new message has been received. The message is stored remotely until a request to fetch the message is received from the communication device. Some form of authorization (password, PIN, biometric, for example) may be required to access the message. The message may continue to be stored remotely after viewing and may, or may not, be downloaded to the communication device. A tag may be attached to the telephone number when sending the message to determine how the message is processed (for grouping messages, for example). A communication device may be associated with two or more telephone numbers and may operate a telephone number remotely.
