Patent number: 9347292Abstract: A subsea wireline system for soft landing equipment during installation. The subsea soft landing wireline system includes coarse alignment members that can be part of a tree and interact with a funnel located on the equipment to be installed by the soft landing system. Smaller alignment members can provide fine alignment and also interact with a funnel located on the equipment to be installed. The funnels are used to trap sea water that provides a cushion for the equipment being installed. Once in alignment, trapped water can be released from the funnel via a restricted orifice or a control valve located on an ROV. The system achieves soft landing without the use of a running tool, thus reducing expense.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Vetco Gray Inc.Inventors: Ronald Baker, Pradeep Dhuper

Patent number: 8429384Abstract: An architecture for a digital signal processor alleviates the difficulties and complexities normally associated with writing and optimizing programs to avoid stalls during which one instruction awaits the result of a prior instruction. The architecture coordinates the processing of data for multiple instructions through a multiple stage data pipeline. As a result, the architecture not only supports simultaneous execution of multiple programs, but also permits each program to execute without delays caused by inter-relationships between instructions within the program.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2006Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Harman International Industries, IncorporatedInventors: James D. Pennock, Ronald Baker, Brian R. Parker, Christopher Belcher

Patent number: 8162141Abstract: A flexible, uniform mail package for use with automated mailing procedures and a method of distributing advertising and promotional items. A mail package includes a plastic tray with at least one well for containing and securing an article, such as a pen or a key tag, within the mail package. The mail package meets current and proposed USPS uniformity and flexibility standards for automated handling of the mail packages, and is capable of being processed, without issue, using automatic equipment thereby reducing postage costs compared to non-flat machinable mail pieces.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Holland USA, Inc.Inventors: Ronald Baker, Steven J.

Patent number: 7873857Abstract: A method and multi-component electronic module device are provided that control the timing of output of data from a plurality of components on the multi-component module. One or more of the components are programmed to delay outputting data by a corresponding amount of time. In one embodiment, the one or more components are programmed such that all of the components output data at substantially the same time when they respond to a control signal. This is particularly useful for multi-component modules that are configured to respond to control signals in a so-called fly-by (or other) configuration that results in the control signal arriving at the components at different times causing the components to react to the control signal at different times.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2007Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Qimonda AGInventors: Ronald Baker, George Alexander

Publication number: 20080016289Abstract: A configurable device interface enhances the ability of a processor to communicate with other devices. The configurable device interface provides programmers with an efficient mechanism for communicating with a wide variety of external memories, each of which may have their own unique interface requirements. As a result, the configurable device interface permits a data processor to operate without hard coded dedicated state machines, and without waiting for an external memory to complete an instruction before the data processor may perform its next instruction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2007Publication date: January 17, 2008Inventors: James D.
