Title: Optimization of software transactional memory operations
Inventor: HARRIS TIMOTHY LAWRENCE
IPC: G06F9/45
Filed: 2006-11-27
Granted: 2012-01-19
Abstract: A software transactional memory system is described which performs optimizations on software transactional memory instructions to achieve efficient performance. Software transactional memory blocks are replaced by software transactional memory instructions, which are then further decomposed into decomposed software transactional memory instructions. The decomposed instructions allow a compiler with knowledge of the instruction semantics to perform optimizations which would be unavailable on traditional software transactional memory systems. High-level software transactional memory optimizations are performed such as code movement around procedure calls, addition of operations to provide strong atomicity, removal of unnecessary read-to-update upgrades, and removal of operations for newly-allocated objects.

Title: Fluid delivery systems and methods
Inventor: GRAY LARRY B
IPC: B67D7/14
Filed: 2007-02-09
Granted: 2013-03-28
Abstract: A method of dispensing fluid includes three processes. A first one of these processes includes pumping fluid into a resilient variable-volume dispensing chamber. The dispensing chamber is in series with a normally present finite fluid impedance and an output. The impedance is sufficient so as to cause expansion of the dispensing chamber as it receives pumped fluid even while some fluid flows through the output. Another one of these processes includes repeatedly measuring a parameter related to volume of the dispensing chamber over time. A third one of these processes includes controlling the pumping of fluid based on repeated measurements of the parameter to produce a desired fluid flow through the output. A corresponding system for dispensing fluid implements these processes.
