Title: Animal entry/exit system with dual locking mechanism
Inventor: BROOKFIELD COLIN RAYMOND
IPC: E06B7/32
Filed: 2012-05-28
Abstract: Animal entry/exit system, aka a pet flap, comprising a free swinging door with a locking mechanism located on the front and back sides. The locking mechanism allows the door to swing both ways, one way or not at all. The flap is preferably hinged at its top and at its lower centre point (double hinge). The door's front and back locks are housed within the side voids of the unit mainframe and are each activated independently by a control knob 8 on the top front face of the unit. The control knob pivots the shutter locks (3 Fig 3) and moves them via a guide pin 3c into a locked position. This mechanism allows the animal, for example a cat or dog to enter or exit only when the owner permits. Holding magnets (6b/7d Fig 1) may be positioned at the centre of the flap to hold the door in position. A weatherstrip may also be used.

Title: Predicting out of order instruction level parallelism of threads in a multi-threaded processor
Inventor: PRASKY BRIAN ROBERT
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2012-06-21
Abstract: The application discloses systems and methods for predicting out-of-order instruction-level parallelism (ILP) of threads being executed in a multi-threaded processor and. prioritizing scheduling thereof. One aspect provides for tracking completion of thread instructions using a global completion table having a head segment and a tail segment. Prediction values for each instruction are stored in a prediction table and indexed via instruction identifiers associated with each instruction. The prediction value being configured to indicate that an instruction is predicted to issue from either the head or tail segment and predicting that threads with more instructions issuing from the tail segment have a higher degree of out-of-order instruction-level parallelism. Further, the out-of-order instruction level parallelism prediction is used to schedule the instructions.

Abstract: An automated trading system manages an exchange traded fund (ETF) to receive a dividend exceeding an underlying market index e.g. S&P 500 on which the traded fund is based and earn a total return correlated to the index. 80-90% of a portfolio is created based on the index S100 and the remaining 10-20% is automatically invested in trade stocks having a very high correlation to the index S106 (See Figure 4), which may be a weighted average correlation indicating volatility of an asset in relation to volatility of a benchmark such as the overall financial market. Historical information such as security information including prices, ex-dividend dates and dividend yield is used along with portfolio information to automatically buy stocks and determine optimal holding time. After going ex-dividend the stocks are sold S108, boosting dividend yield. The next stock is selected S110 or, if there is a paucity of dividends to trade investment is made in the portfolio to maintain the weightings of the index S112. The portfolio may implement a pair strategy, switching between stocks which pay dividends at different times during the year.
