Title: Deriving contact stress or contact loadusing ultrasound data
Inventor: MILLS ROBIN
IPC: G01S15/88
Filed: 2014-08-22
Abstract: An analysis device 110 comprising an input to receive ultrasound data from an interface 127 between two elements 123 and 125 moving relative to each other or tribologically; ultrasound transducer 120 is mounted onto element 123. A processor determines time of flight data from the ultrasound data, the magnitude of the echo may be derived using a Fast Hilbert Transform and the envelope correlated with a reference signal. Contact stress and/or contact load is derived in the first element from time of flight data independent of phase shift. The greatest component of the ultrasound is perpendicular to the interface. In a second invention the stress may be derived from a change in speed of the ultrasound due to the acoustoelastic effect. The analysis device may be incorporated into a system for monitoring bearings, ball races, rolling element races or rolling elements in turbines, wind turbines, railed vehicles, vehicle tracks, metal rolling mills or hydro power generators.

Title: Method for operating a dosing feeder for a viscous medium
Inventor: SCHMUCK OTMAR
IPC: B05C11/10
Filed: 2014-09-04
Abstract: A method for a dosing feeder 1 for a viscous medium, wherein, while operating the dosing feeder in a system mode, the medium is supplied by means of a pump 3 from a storage container 2 to the dosing feeder, wherein a controller is used to supply the medium to the dosing feeder and dispense the medium from the dosing feeder. In such a method, the invention provides that, in a cartridge operating mode of the dosing feeder, the supply of the medium from the storage container 2 to the dosing feeder is separate, and the medium is supplied from a cartridge 13 to the dosing feeder, wherein the controller is used to supply the medium to the dosing feeder and dispense the medium from the dosing feeder. Such a method makes it possible to operate the dosing feeder even without filling the entire system with viscous material

Title: Crosstalk reduction technique for multi-channel driver circuits
Inventor: RAMSES PIERCO
IPC: H03K17/16
Filed: 2014-10-21
Abstract: The flow of capacitive load current in supply or Earth line impedances when the capacitive load in a driver channel (channel 0) is driven may cause the output of another channel (channel X) to be affected. This cross-talk may be reduced by switching the output in smaller voltage steps (figure 2) or by placing non-switched channels into a high-impedance mode, thereby isolating their outputs from changes in the supply or Earth voltages. The two techniques may be combined. Several drivers may be integrated into a single IC.

Title: Instructions and logic to provide advanced paging capabilities for secure enclave page caches
Inventor: ROZAS CARLOS V
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2015-04-01
Abstract: A processor has an enclave page cache to cache data from a secure enclave. An instruction (ETRACK) causes it to record the number of hardware threads accessing the data in the cache corresponding to the secure enclave. This may be the threads, which are executing code in the secure enclave. When any of the threads exits the secure enclave, the number is decremented. A second instruction (EWB) may cause the data in the cache to be evicted and written back to main memory when the number reaches zero. A third instruction (EBLOCK) may prevent the creation of new address translation entries for the pages in the cache. The data may be encrypted, when written to main memory, and decrypted, when read from main memory.

Title: Diagnosing system for reductant dosing system
Inventor: RATAN SANTOSH KUMAR
IPC: F01N11/00
Filed: 2015-08-04
Abstract: An exhaust aftertreatment SCR system 100 has a controller 120 to diagnose errors with a dosing system 110 having a dosing module 112. The controller 120 may control a pump 118 to compensate for a loss in pressure when dosing reductant and may maintain the pressure as close to a target pressure by modifying a parameter affecting the operation of the pump 118. The modification of the parameter may be used to determine an estimated flow feedback. The controller 120 uses the estimated flow feedback data and commanded dosing amount data to calculate a percentage error in response to and using an integrated commanded flow and an integrated estimated flow feedback to detect errors of the dosing system. The errors may include an injector stuck closed error, a blocked pressure line error, a partial blockage of a pressure line or injector error, an injector stuck open error, a disconnected pressure line error, a leakage of a pressure line or injector error. The controller activates an error indicator and/or error code to another system.

Title: Decentralized load distribution in an event-driven system
Inventor: LAKSHMANAN GEETIKA
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2010-05-04
Abstract: Data is processed by hierarchical and non-hierarchical tasks at nodes in an event-driven system with stateful and stateless components. A hierarchical task is dependent on the output of another task and a non-hierarchical task is not dependent on the output of another task. Statistics are collected about each task at each node and used to create a list of neighbouring nodes to which a task can be migrated. At least one node is selected as a donor node M9, M10 to transition into quiescent mode and target tasks F4, S1 at the donor node are selected for migration to a target or recipient node M12, M13, i.e. a node from the list of neighbouring nodes. Target tasks are migrated from the donor node to the target node(s) and the donor node is transitioned into quiescent mode. The target node(s) must meet predetermined criteria in terms of load distribution quality, e.g. anticipated end-to-end throughput time. A load exchange protocol is established at each node governing the number of migrations of target tasks to ensure that local load migration decisions do not conflict with each other, e.g. no oscillation or simultaneous migration in a single machine cycle.

Title: Identification of potentially sensitive information in data strings
Inventor: ALAN B BUTT
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2017-07-14
Abstract: This application is for a system for identifying potentially sensitive information by using a scanning device to first evaluate a plurality of intermittently space bytes of data. It then tags each evaluated byte of the plurality of intermittently space bytes that corresponds to a decimal number of a dash to create a tagged byte. It then sequentially evaluates and enumerates the bytes preceding and following each tagged byte until a value of a preceding and following byte do not correspond to decimal numbers or dashes. It then determines whether a number of sequential enumerated bytes corresponds to a length of a sensitive data string, and if so it identifies a string of sequential enumerated bytes that falls within that length as a suspected data string. Finally, it searches for a place name within a predetermined number of bytes preceding and following the suspected sensitive data string.
