Title: Process and installation for producing high pressure oxygen
Inventor: GRENIER MAURICE
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1997-02-10
Abstract: This  process  is  of  the  type  in  which  the gaseous oxygen is produced directly at the desired high pressure by pumping liquid oxygen drawn off  in  the vessel of the low-pressure column (11). The air to be distilled is  split  into  three  flows:  a flow at  the medium pressure of the double distillation column (1), a flow at a high pressure,  higher than approximately 60 bars, and a flow at an intermediate pressure which, after  partial  cooling,  is  expanded  to  the  medium pressure in a turbine (8). The intermediate pressure is chosen so that the air treated in the turbine is near its dew point at the entry of the turbine wheel. Liquid product is simultaneously drawn off  (at 24)  from the plant.        Application   to   plants   producing   large quantities of gaseous oxygen at a pressure higher than 30 bars.

Abstract: A swing-away hopper tee assembly for attachment at the discharge end of a hopper. The hopper tee assembly has a mounting frame for attachment at the discharge opening of the hopper. The mounting frame associates with alignment pins on a bottom side for alignment of a valve housing. The valve housing is positioned below the mounting frame and receives the alignment pins. The valve housing cooperates with alignment pins of the hopper tee. The hopper tee is pivotally attached to the mounting frame by a pair of adjustable pivot arms and extends below the valve housing. The hopper tee has a camming handle and hook assembly on the front side. The hooks extend upward and engage slots on the mounting frame. The camming handle can be locked into place securing the hooks in the mounting frame and effectively securing the valve housing between the hopper tee and mounting frame. The handle can be rotated over the center to lift the hooks away from the mounting frame and allow the hopper tee to swing away from the valve housing. The valve housing then can be removed and the assembly effectively cleaned.

Title: Method for determining seismic data traveltime fields on a massively parallel computer
Inventor: WILLEN DENNIS E
IPC: G06F17/16
Filed: 1996-07-25
Abstract: A method (Figure 3) of determining traveltime fields for use in processing geophysical data. The method is implemented on a computer (100) having massively parallel processors (114, 116). The input to the method is a three-dimensional velocity model of a volume of the subsurface (121) of the earth.  The method assigns the traveltime calculations to groups of processors (112), which calculate traveltimes for individual shots. A preliminary simulation of the traveltime calculation process is performed to determine the number of processors required in each group (112). The groups of processors (112) perform the traveltime calculations independent of the other groups.  Calculations are performed in spherical coordinates (?.theta.?), with traveltimes interpolated to a rectangular grid for storage (106) and subsequent use. The final traveltimes are compressed in a differential format to reduce data storage and transfer requirements. A control processor (110) is used to dynamically assign calculation tasks to processor groups (112), thereby ensuring load balance across all groups and maximizing throughput of the massively parallel processors (114, 116).

Inventor: WEIHL WILLIAM E
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 1998-03-09
Abstract: In a computerized method, performance data collected while a computer system executed instructions of a program are analyzed.  The method collects performance data while executing the program.  The performance data includes sample counts of instructions executed.  The program is analyzed to determine classes of instructions. Instructions of the same equivalence class all execute the identical number of times.  The execution frequencies for each instruction of each equivalence class is estimated. The estimated execution frequencies can then be used to the average number of cycles required to issue each instruction of each equivalence class.  The average number of cycles can be compared with the minimum number of cycles to determine the number of dynamic stall cycles incurred by the instructions.  Furthermore, reasons for the dynamic stall cycles can be inferred.
