Title: Program parallelising apparatus, method and program for compiling an optimised parallelised program
Inventor: KAWAHARA SHIYOUJI
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2005-06-29
Abstract: A program parallelizing apparatus 100, a program parallelizing method and a program parallelizing program capable of creating a parallelized program of better parallel execution performance at a high speed. A fork point determination section 110 extracts fork points from a sequential processing program 101. A fork point combination determination section 120 divides sequential execution trace information gathered while the sequential processing program is being executed with particular input data into a plurality of segments, obtains an optimal combination of fork points in each information segment from a set of fork points that appear in the information segment, and integrates the optimal combinations of fork points in the respective information segments according to an appropriate criterion to generate one optimal fork point combination. A parallelized program output section 130 creates a parallelized program for a multithreading parallel processor from the sequential processing program based on the optimal combination of fork points determined by the fork point combination determination section 120.

Title: Amplifier gain and phase stabilizer
Inventor: ROSEN HAROLD A
IPC: H03F3/68
Filed: 2005-11-03
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for stabilizing the phase and gain of an amplifier in a power pooling arrangement. A pilot signal combining a reference carrier frequency with a reference sideband frequency is passed through the amplifier via an adjustable phase shifter and an adjustable attenuator in the amplifier input line. A portion of the amplified pilot signal is coupled from the output of the amplifier and mixed with the reference frequency. The remaining audio frequency signal is compared to a reference (input) audio signal to determine phase and gain changes during amplification in the amplifier. Phase and gain control signals are developed from this comparison., and are fed back to the adjustable phase shifter and adjustable attenuator, respectively, in order to compensate an incoming signal for phase and gain variations in the amplifier.

Title: Video conference multipoint control unit (MCU) allowing unicast and multicast transmission
Inventor: EVANS SIMON JAMES WINN
IPC: H04N7/15
Filed: 2007-11-20
Abstract: A video processing architecture for a multipoint control unit (MCU) comprises plural video image signal processing means being interconnected via switches operable to choose between unicast and multicast onward transmission of (received) image data. Also independently claimed is a method of routing data in such a multipoint control unit (MCU), comprising storing a network map holding data representing a network topology, the unicast or multicast mode switching being dependant on the network map. Information may be transmitted in unicast mode until a routing branch is reached, when multicast mode may be used. By using high bandwidth internal links and an architecture with few bottlenecks, prior problems in providing high definition endpoint display, with different video compositions for each conference participant, are alleviated. Also, processing image data internally using intelligent multicasting, scaling and compression decisions allows processing and bandwidth requirements to be met.

Title: System and method for actuating wellbore tools
Inventor: SESSIONS JAMES
IPC: E21B23/04
Filed: 2006-06-30
Abstract: An actuator (100) operatively coupled to a wellbore tool is activated upon receiving fluid that a predetermined applied pressure. When the fluid string reaches the predetermined applied pressure, the actuator undertakes a specified action such as longitudinal movement, rotation, expansion, etc. that actuates or operates the wellbore tool. Premature actuation of the wellbore tool is prevented by applying a resistive force to the actuator that, alone or in cooperation with another mechanism, arrests movement of the actuator. This resistive force is generated by applied pressure of the fluid in the work string.

Title: Fuse holder
Inventor: SINCLAIR PETER
IPC: H01H85/22
Filed: 2008-04-17
Abstract: A fuse holder for a distribution cabinet is disclosed that is capable of being more safely replaced into a live circuit, in order to allow for circumstances in which a contractor erroneously does so. The housing may have a conduit 116 for a Rogowski coil to measure the current. The fuse contacts may be fixed to conductors 112, 114 that engage with the distribution contacts 12, 14 rather than having a direct connection. A skirt 108 around the contacts may shield the operator from "arc eye". A handle 122 may be used to insert the fuse holder and also to operate a clamp to secure the contacts in place, thus making the connection quicker and so less likely to arc. The housing may be made in two parts 102, 104 to allow for repair if problems should arise. An interlock (200, Fig 13) may prevent operation of the handle (and hence the clamp) until the fuse holder is home.
