Title: Graphic display configuration framework for unified process control system interface
Inventor: NIXON MARK
IPC: G05B19/042
Filed: 2005-05-04
Abstract: A common process control graphical user interface plant operators, plant maintenance personnel, and management is disclosed which provides a real-time interface to both the process and the plant. The common interface is modular in design and is capable of supporting various specializations for each user type. Operator consoles are dedicated to each section of the plant and include additional functions such as maintenance, configuration, simulation and supervisory information. The common graphical interface replaces control room displays filled with single case analog controllers, meters, and digital indicators. The common interface addresses the functions that previously were provided by the panel motor start/stop buttons and status indications, chart recorders, annunciator panels and subsystem interfaces. From a console, operators manage alarms, adjust the process by entering new setpoints or other parameters, "zoom in" on particular portions of the process for details, and utilize other specialized applications to work with their batch, advanced control, or business applications. The interface will run in both dedicated and non-dedicated modes, will run as a rich client or as part of a browser style interface utilizing web services and will run on workstations, laptops, tablet PC's, handhelds, and smart phones.

Title: Serial magnetic memory formed by a grid of nanowires in which domain walls are pinned at crosses in use
Inventor: COWBURN RUSSELL PAUL
IPC: G11C11/14
Filed: 2007-05-04
Abstract: A serial magnetic mass storage device and associated data storage method of the kind in which data is encoded in single magnetic domains in nanowires. In the invention, parallel nanowires (10) are crossed by further nanowires (17) along their length to form domain wall pinning sites (12). Moreover, the further nanowires are addressed in groups (A, B, C) by actuating electrodes positioned either side of the magnetic layer to reduce the pinning effect at the crosses and allow domain walls to move. By alternately actuating the pinning sites hosting head-to-head and tail-to-tail domain walls (16, 18) in synchrony with alignment and anti-alignment of an operating magnetic field (H) along the nanowire the magnetic domains (14) are moved along the nanowires (10) by alternate movement of the head-to-head and tail-to-tail domain walls in caterpillar or worm-like motion in which the domains are incrementally lengthened and shortened by one inter-notch distance as they move along the nanowires under the joint coordinated action of the actuation and alternating operating field.

Title: Polycrystalline diamond composite comprising different sized diamond particles
Inventor: MATTHIAS TERRY RICHARD
IPC: C04B35/52
Filed: 2008-07-21
Abstract: Granular constituents are distributed within polycrystalline diamond composite (PDC) by providing mixture of diamond particles of various different sizes, then agitating the mixture to substantially segregate the diamond particles within the mixture according to particle size by the "Brazil nut effect". The segregated mixture may then be sintered to fuse the diamond particles together and thereby immobilize the diamond particles within the mixture. The mixture may be agitated and sintered while adjacent to a substrate material to form a cutting element. Alternatively granular constituents can be distributed within PDC's by providing diamond particles segregated into adjacent regions according to particles size and agitating the diamond particles to create a zone of intermixing between adjacent regions then sintering to immobilize the diamond particles. A cutting element so produced comprises a polycrystalline diamond composite wherein diamond particles are substantially continually graded according to size, from a first side of the layer to a second side.
