  • Patent number: 11924583
    Abstract: An embodiment for alerting emergency contacts includes a portable device and data collecting computer comprising a processor and software. The processor is configured to connect to a communication system; submit data to a contact; and receive data from mobile devices. The mobile devices transmit data. If the data collecting computer receives distress data from the mobile device, the data collecting computer communicates to a first communication device. The processor is configured to communicate, via the communication system, to a first communication device; and submit data to the first communication device. The processor is configured to capture images of an intruder by utilizing artificial intelligence when prompted by the user. The artificial intelligence uses facial recognition to recognize face of the intruder.

  • Patent number: 9347292
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8429384
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8162141
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8074053
    Abstract: A memory update engine provides flexible modification of data in memory. A processor may employ the update engine to update filter coefficients, special effects parameters, signal sample processing instructions, or any other instruction or data during processing. The update engine supports dynamic updating without requiring processor shutdown, thereby allowing the processor to seamlessly continue operation during a live performance.

  • Patent number: 7873857
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20080016289
    Abstract: 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.
