Title: Stacked register aliasing in data hazard detecting for groups of registers with overlap in hazard logic across two rows of the register file
Inventor: SOLTIS JR DONALD
IPC: G06F9/30
Filed: 2003-02-03
Abstract: The invention recasts the virtual register file (115) frame calls to alias hazard detection in the hazard detect logic (117) of the physical register file (114). By way of example, mapping to the stacked registers may be aliased with three sets of 32 registers rows, from 32 to 127, for data hazard calculations to decrease size implementation with minor performance decrease. The invention sacrifices occasional hazard detections - resulting in occasional pipeline stalls as a loss of processor performance - in order to remove the row-by-row dependencies on physical register size. The invention thus reduces the logic requirements associated with the "height" and "width" of the register file (114): "height" corresponds to the number of registers (e.g., 128), and "width" corresponds to the pipeline stages. The physical register size of the invention is effectively greater than what may be accessed by software at any time; there is no longer a one-to-one correspondence between the virtual and physical register files. In addition, there is no longer a one-to-one correspondence between physical registers and register identifiers for data hazard purposes. Accordingly, more physical registers may be added without a corresponding increase in the hazard detect and bypass logic. If a data hazard exists, an occasional pipeline stall may occur that would not have occurred by incorporating a one-to-one mapping between the register identifiers and physical register files. The physical and decode logic is simplified for the multiple rows of the register file (114), thereby reducing physical size and power requirements for the EPIC processor (100).

Title: Process for identifying abnormalities in power transformers
Inventor: PERKINS MARK D
IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 2003-03-28
Abstract: A method of identifying a type of abnormality in an insulation system of a power transformer comprises measuring dielectric losses in a section of the insulation system, calculating theoretical dielectric losses for the section based on the material properties, geometry, and temperature of the section, and generating a graphical representation of a percent difference between the measured and calculated dielectric losses. The preferred method comprises comparing a shape of the graphical representation with a shape of one or more graphical representations of a percent difference between measured and theoretical dielectric losses in one or more other sections of insulation each known to have a specific type of abnormality.

Title: Non-boil boiling point indicator
Inventor: BUCHANAN NIGEL ALEXANDER
IPC: G01N33/28
Filed: 2003-04-17
Abstract: A non-boil boiling point indicator having a probe housing with inner and outer chambers therein. A heater located within the inner chamber at a free end of the probe housing with non-restrictive apertures in the free end. Similar non-restrictive apertures are located between the inner and outer chambers and from the outer chamber to an outer environment surrounding the probe housing. The temperature of the test fluid is monitored by temperature monitoring means such as a thermocouple. As the test fluid is rapidly heated its temperature quickly rises then flattens out before boiling point. This change is used by control and display electronics to extrapolate to the boiling point. Localised steam or vapour bubbles are created next to the heater which causes the test fluid above the heater to be propelled upwards and overflow through the unrestricted apertures at the top of the inner chamber into the outer chamber.

Title: Writing instrument with offset writing point
Inventor: LIU BAO-SHEN
IPC: G06C23/00
Filed: 2004-01-10
Abstract: A writing instrument includes a holding part 11 and a writing end 2 in which the writing end and the holding part are disposed on different axes. When the user is operating the writing instrument the holding part inclines naturally while the writing end keeps vertical to the writing surface, and the writing result can be observed through the visible space formed between the writing end and the holding part. A triangular holding end 11 is disposed at the front end of the holding part of the writing instrument, and rotably adjustable which results in different angles of the writing end (Fig 3A) and thickness change of the writing line (Fig.3B). Since the holding part, connecting part (3, Fig.2) and the writing end are arranged as a Z letter, a perfect fitting feeling of the fingers can be created. In addition, the holding part includes a receiving space for receiving the refills for substituting. (Fig.7).
