20080208854 | Method of Syntactic Pattern Recognition of Sequences - This invention relates to the Pattern Recognition (PR) of noisy/inexact strings and sequences and particularly to syntactic Pattern Recognition. The present invention presents a process by which a user can recognize an unknown sting X, which is an element of a finite, but possibly larger Dictionary, H, by processing the information contained in its noisy/inexact version, Y, where Y is assumed to contain substitution, insertion or deletion errors. The recognized string, which is the best estimate X+ of X, is defined as that element of H which minimizes the Generalized Levenshtein Distance D(X,Y) between X and Y, for all X08-28-2008 | |

20140238817 | OIL-WATER SEPARATOR - The oil-water separator is installed in a substantially horizontal crude oil pipeline for separating water from the oil and water mix. The separator includes a depending vortex and settling chamber depending from the pipeline, the segment of the pipeline and the separator defining a generally T-shaped configuration. Oil and water flowing through the pipeline drop into the chamber as it flows through the pipeline and over the chamber. The denser water tends to settle into the bottom of the chamber, while the lighter oil is entrained back into the flow through the pipeline. A sensor detects water collected in the bottom of the chamber and provides a signal to open a drain valve when sufficient water has been collected. While only a single separator serves to collect a substantial fraction of water, a series of separators may be installed along the pipe to remove more water from the oil. | 08-28-2014 |

20120308407 | DUAL INJECTION AIRLIFT PUMP - The dual injection airlift pump has a hollow tubular body through which the liquid being pumped passes upward from the lower intake end to the upper outlet end. Air or other gas is injected into the liquid in the pump body, the less dense gas adding buoyancy to the liquid and entraining the liquid to rise toward the outlet end. The dual injection airlift pump includes two air injection stages, with the first or lower stage having a perforated interior sleeve allowing the gas to pass therethrough to be injected radially into the liquid. The second, upper stage has an impervious sleeve defining a gap between the sleeve and the interior surface of the pump wall, the lower end being sealed and the upper end open. Air is injected between the sleeve and pump wall, the air exiting at the upper or downstream end in an axially peripheral flow pattern. | 12-06-2012 |
20140356194 | AIRLIFT PUMP WITH HELICAL FLOW PATTERN - The airlift pump with helical flow pattern includes a nozzle body having a fluid passage therethrough. A plurality of air or gas injector nozzles surrounds the central passage. The outward side of each nozzle is tangent to the fluid passage wall through the body to produce circumferential flow in the fluid passage. Each of the air injector nozzles is also inclined in the direction of flow through the body, the tangential inclination resulting in a helical flow pattern through the body. The centrifugal force generated by the circumferential and helical flow through the body results in a pressure decrease through the core of the fluid passage, thereby enhancing entrainment of fluid into the device to increase its efficiency. The fluid passage through the nozzle body is devoid of any structure, and the inlet end of the passage is smoothly radiused to further increase the efficiency of the device. | 12-04-2014 |

20150134339 | Devices and Methods for Weighting of Local Costs for Unit Selection Text-to-Speech Synthesis - A device may determine a representation of text that includes a first linguistic term associated with a first set of speech sounds and a second linguistic term associated with a second set of speech sounds. The device may determine a plurality of joins between the first set and the second set. A given join may be indicative of concatenating a first speech sound from the first set with a second speech sound from the second set. A given local cost of the given join may correspond to a weighted sum of individual cost. A given individual cost may be weighted based on a variability of the given individual cost in the plurality of joins. The device may provide a sequence of speech sounds indicative of a pronunciation of the text based on a minimization of a sum of local costs of adjacent speech sounds in the sequence. | 05-14-2015 |

20100023626 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING HOST OVERHEAD IN A SOCKET SERVER IMPLEMENTATION - A network application executing on a host system provides a list of application buffers in host memory stored in a queue to a network services processor coupled to the host system. The application buffers are used for storing data transferred on a socket established between the network application and a remote network application executing in a remote host system. Using the application buffers, data received by the network services processor over the network is transferred between the network services processor and the application buffers. After the transfer, a completion notification is written to one of the two control queues in the host system. The completion notification includes the size of the data transferred and an identifier associated with the socket. The identifier identifies a thread associated with the transferred data and the location of the data in the host system. | 01-28-2010 |
20140324900 | Intelligent Graph Walking - An apparatus, and corresponding method, for performing a search for a match of at least one expression in an input stream is presented. A graph including a number of interconnected nodes is generated. A compiler may assign at least one starting node and at least one ending node. The starting node includes a location table with node position information of an ending node and a sub-string value associated with the ending node. Using the node position information and a string comparison function, intermediate nodes located between the starting and ending nodes may be bypassed. The node bypassing may reduce the number of memory accesses required to read the graph. | 10-30-2014 |

20090217054 | SECURE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE ASSOCIATION TECHNIQUE - In an embodiment, authenticated hardware and authenticated software are cryptographically binded using symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. Cryptographically binding the hardware and software ensures that original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hardware will only run OEM software. Cryptographically binding the hardware and software protects the OEM binary code so it will only run on the OEM hardware and cannot be replicated or altered to operate on unauthorized hardware. This cryptographic binding technique is referred to herein as secure software and hardware association (SSHA). | 08-27-2009 |

20140350474 | UNIVERSAL CATHETER SECUREMENT DEVICE - An intravenous catheter securement device comprises of an intravenous catheter board stabilizer that conforms to patients' bodies and an adjustable elastic sleeve with a hole for catheter insertion, with two overlying flaps for catheter securement. The intravenous catheter hoard base has holes on either side, one side for connection of the elastic sleeve, and the other side provides a fastening location for elastic bands attached to the sleeve for tightness adjustment. An embodiment of the invention involving the intravenous board is displayed separately as an alternative innovation. This device is comprised of a simple form fitting elastic sleeve having a catheter opening with the intent of applying a removable adhesive to the sleeve itself over the catheter for securement purposes. These embodiments establish a simple, standardized, and safe method of securing intravenous catheters sans adhesive material in contact with the epidermis. | 11-27-2014 |
