Patent number: 7865538Abstract: A steam-based document storage and retrieval system accepts documents that are in diverse formats and come from diverse application, automatically creates document model objects describing these documents in a consistent format and associating time stamps with the documents to automatically create a main stream in chronological order. The stream, or sub-streams meeting selected search criteria, are displayed in a variety of forms, including a receding, partly overlapping stack with aids that facilitate user interaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2006Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Assignee: Mirror Worlds, LLCInventors: Randy Prager, Peter Sparago, Stephen MarcAurele, David Gelernter, Eric Freeman

Publication number: 20100317193Abstract: A method for defining patterns in an integrated circuit comprises defining a plurality of features in a first photoresist layer using photolithography over a first region of a substrate. The method further comprises using pitch multiplication to produce at least two features in a lower masking layer for each feature in the photoresist layer. The features in the lower masking layer include looped ends. The method further comprises covering with a second photoresist layer a second region of the substrate including the looped ends in the lower masking layer. The method further comprises etching a pattern of trenches in the substrate through the features in the lower masking layer without etching in the second region. The trenches have a trench width.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2010Publication date: December 16, 2010Applicant: MICRON TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Luan C.

Publication number: 20070194493Abstract: A concrete lid for an in-ground utilities box includes a plastic reinforcement structure filled with concrete. The plastic reinforcement structure includes one or more plastic sidewalls that protect the edges of the lid from damage. The upper and lower surfaces of the lid are exposed concrete (with the exception of the upper and lower edges of the one or more plastic sidewalls). The one or more plastic sidewalls laterally surround a plastic reinforcement grid, which is centrally located between the upper and lower edges of the one or more plastic sidewalls. The one or more plastic sidewalls can be integrally formed with the plastic reinforcement grid. The plastic reinforcement grid reinforces the concrete lid, eliminating the need for separate reinforcement material. Support struts can be used to support the plastic reinforcement grid while wet concrete is being poured into the plastic reinforcing structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2006Publication date: August 23, 2007Applicant: Bescal, Inc.Inventors: Mark Jurich, Rickey Swartz, Jon Reed, Eric Freeman, Wolfgang Ott, Paul Appelblom, Paul Jurich

Publication number: 20070113622Abstract: A method of hydrostatic testing a selected section of a pipeline having fluid flow therethrough, including the steps of introducing into the pipeline a pig train including a leading seal pig, a supply liquid slug, a first isolation tool, a test liquid slug and a second isolation tool; permitting the train to traverse the pipeline interior by the force of fluid flow until the lead isolation tool is forwardly of and the second isolation tool is rearwardly of the selected selection of the pipeline; securing the position of the pig train by applying exteriorly of the pipeline appropriate signals to actuate the isolation tools to each engage and seal the interior of the pipeline trapping the test liquid slug therebetween; and pumping liquid from the supply liquid slugs into the test liquid slug to a hydrostatic testing pressure. In addition to testing, the pipeline can be repaired by moving the pig train into position where a defective area can be isolated by additional isolation tools.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2005Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: Wade Buckley, Eric Freeman, Larry Payne, Kim Stover

Publication number: 20060260687Abstract: A method of providing access to the interior of a cross-line that intersects with a primary pipeline of equal or greater diameter includes the steps of attaching a branch fitting to the exterior of the primary pipeline, affixing a full opening valve to the branch fitting, securing a hot tap machine to the valve, using the hot tap machine to cut an opening in the primary pipeline of a diameter at least equal to the internal diameter of the cross-line, and removing the machine leaving an access diametrically through the valve and primary pipeline into the interior of the cross-line for installing pipeline inspection or cleaning pigs and/or a locking plug. A rotation resistor facilitates securing a locking plug within the pipeline.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2006Publication date: November 23, 2006Inventors: Phillip Morrison, Eric Freeman, Mark Morgan, Tony Garrison
