Publication number: 20100274663Abstract: A network, method and program for allocating viewable screen area resources amongst a plurality of competing portions of content in a network comprising a plurality of end-user terminals and one or more servers operatively coupled to the end-user terminals over the network, each of those servers storing data representing one or more respective viewable screen areas and being arranged to make the viewable screen areas accessible to the end-user terminals over the network, there thus being finite viewable screen area resources accessible to the end-user terminals from those servers. The method involves performing a simulation of the network to generate proposals for changes to the resource allocation. The method may also involve forecasting effects of proposed changes. The simulation may be by means of multi-agent modeling.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2009Publication date: October 28, 2010Inventors: Mark Hinton, Carlo Platia

Patent number: 6925630Abstract: A method is described for generating code for loading and performing other processing operations on a multi-dimensional data warehouse. Databases are defined as entity-relationship data models, using a modelling tool. A source file is created, containing instructions for processing the database, and including one or more high-level directives. At system build time, the source file is pre-processed, by replacing the directives with code, using information pulled from the data model, to generate a destination file containing the code for processing the database. At run time, the generated code is processed to replace run-time macros, indicating physical storage schemes. The generated code is then run, to process the database.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2000Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Fujitsu Services LimitedInventors: Austen John Britton, Margaret Hazel Derbyshire, Mark Hinton, David Stephen Walsh

Patent number: 6119782Abstract: A method and apparatus for anchoring a tool within a cased borehole wherein at least one piston connected with respect to the tool includes an associated anchor shoe. The anchor shoe has a penetration means, such as a plurality of wheels having a sharp outer periphery, for engagement with the cased borehole. A packer having a rigid component, such as a plurality of concentric rings, is connected with respect to the tool, opposite the piston. The packer may also have a sealing member for creating a sealed engagement between the tool and the cased borehole. When the piston is extended, the anchor shoe contacts the cased borehole and centers the tool with respect to the cased borehole. When the piston is extended, the packer also engages the cased borehole and maintains the position of the tool as well as creating a sealed connection between the tool and the cased borehole.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 1998Date of Patent: September 19, 2000Assignee: Gas Research InstituteInventors: Mario J.

Patent number: 5449877Abstract: A weld controller utilizing a constant current control employs a stepper program for increasing current boost in predetermined percentage increments or steps following a predetermined stepper current profile to provide compensation for contact tip wear. The weld controller acquires weld power data in the form of current and voltage samples for each step of the stepper program, and computes Volt Amperes or power from this data during an acquisition run through the stepper program. The stepper program specifies a constant current at each step. Associated with each incremental current step, weld power that is required to produce that weld current is determined by the weld controller to generate a characteristic power curve. The power curve will be over the range of currents as specified by the combination of the programmed weld current and the range of current boost as specified by the stepper schedule. The weld controller will build a table of values relating weld current and delivered power or Volt Amperes.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1993Date of Patent: September 12, 1995Assignee: Square D CompanyInventors: Paul R. Buda, Mark A. Hinton

Patent number: 5386096Abstract: A weld controller employs a stepper program for increasing heat boost in one percent increments or steps to provide compensation for contact tip wear. The weld controller acquires weld current data in the form of current samples for each step to create a characteristic curve or nominal current profile for the stepper program. Subsequent operations of the weld control utilize high and low current limit thresholds that track the nominal current profile. The thresholds can be defined as a fixed offset from the profile or as a percentage of the profile at each step of the stepper program. This allows the use of current limits to be established in close proximity to the nominal weld current at all times, enabling the use of tighter tolerances.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1993Date of Patent: January 31, 1995Assignee: Square D CompanyInventors: Paul R. Buda, Mark A. Hinton
