Title: Computer command and response for determining the state of an i/o operation
Inventor: CASPER DANIEL
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 2009-02-09
Abstract: A state of an input/output (I/O) operation in an I/O processing system is determined. A request for performing the I/O operation is received from an I/O operating system at a channel subsystem and forwarded to a control unit controlling an I/O  device for executing the I/O operation. After a predetermined amount of time passes without receiving indication from the control unit that the I/O operation is completed, an interrogation request is received at the channel subsystem from the I/O operating system for determining the state of the I/O operation. An interrogation command is sent from the channel subsystem to the control unit. A response is received from the control unit, the response indicates a state of the I/O device executing the I/O operation, a state of the control unit controlling the I/O device executing the I/O  operation, and the state of the I/O operation being executed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pipe system comprising a pipe, a gas sensing station and a remote output system. The pipe comprises a pipe gas cavity, such as an annulus, extending lengthwise in part or all of the length of the pipe; the gas sensing station comprises a sensing gas cavity which is in gas communication with the pipe gas cavity: The sensing gas cavity comprises a photoacoustic spectroscope. The pipe system comprises at least one optical feeding fiber for feeding light to the photoacoustic spectroscope and a transmission path for transferring a signal from the photoacoustic spectroscope to the remote output system, the transmission path from the gas sensing station to the remote output system is an optical transmission path. The pipe may for example be a flexible pipe e.g. an umbilical or a pipe for the transportation of crude oil from a well to an off shore or on shore station, for example a ship or a platform. The gas sensing station may be integrated in the pipe, e.g. in an end fitting or it may be an external gas sensing station. According to a high security embodiment of the invention it is desired that all energy transported between the remote output system and the gas sensing station is in the form of optical energy e.g. transported in one or more optical fibers. This embodiment provides a very safe and simultaneously well functioning system, with reduced risk of igniting burnable fluids and simultaneously with a high signal-to-noise quality.

Abstract: A parallel-computing iterative solver is provided that employs a preconditioner that is processed using parallel-computing for solving linear systems of equations. Thus, a preconditioning algorithm is employed for parallel iterative solution of a large sparse system of linear system of equations (e.g., algebraic equations, matrix equations, etc.), such as the linear system of equations that commonly arise in computer-based 3D modeling of real-world systems (e.g., 3D modeling of oil or gas reservoirs, etc.). A novel technique is proposed for application of a multi-level preconditioning strategy to an original matrix that is partitioned and transformed to block bordered diagonal form. An approach for deriving a preconditioner for use in parallel iterative solution of a linear system of equations is provided. In particular, a parallel-computing iterative solver may derive and/or apply such a preconditioner for use in solving, through parallel processing, a linear system of equations.
Patent CA-2732174-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLOUIN STEPHANE
IPC: B01D53/04
Filed: 2009-06-08
Abstract: A method for controlling an adsorption unit and associated compressor that adjusts the flow rate of a compressed feed stream produced by the compressor so that it increases from a nominal flow rate and then decreases back to the nominal flow rate. The increase and decrease of the feed stream flow rate are controlled in accordance with increase and decrease rate functions of adsorbent bed pressure ratio between off-line and on-line adsorbent beds and a triggering pressure ratio at which the feed flow rate decreases. Each of the increase and decrease rate functions is tuned to produce a similar response in the flow of a product stream produced by the adsorption unit. Additionally, repressurization time is controlled by driving it toward a target value that allows the purge stage of regeneration to be maximized and therefore, the degree to which each of the adsorbent beds is regenerated.
