Patent number: 11940940Abstract: A processing device has a plurality of interfaces and a plurality of processors. During different phases of execution of a computer program, different processors are associated with different interfaces, such that the connectivity between processors and interfaces for the sending of egress data and the receiving of ingress data may change during execution of that computer program. The change in this connectivity is directed by the compiled code running on the processors. The compiled code selects which buses associated with which interfaces, given processors are to connect to for receipt of ingress data. Furthermore, the compiled code causes control messages to be sent to circuitry associated with the interfaces, so as to control which buses associated with which processors, given interfaces are to connect to.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: GRAPHCORE LIMITEDInventors: Daniel Wilkinson, Stephen Felix, Simon Knowles, Graham Cunningham, David Lacey

Patent number: 10078082Abstract: The present invention relates to the provision of antibody fragments capable of binding selectively to the Gal-?-(1?3)-Gal epitope. The invention further relates to assay systems comprising these antibody fragments for use in testing transplantation tissue for possible rejection complications. This epitope is often found on porcine tissue destined for human transplantation. The epitope is also found on biopharmaceuticals and on some infectious agents and accordingly the invention also provides assay systems for these applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2013Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, GALWAYInventors: Stephen Cunningham, Emily Starr, Iain Shaw, John Glavin, Marian Kane, Lokesh Joshi

Patent number: 9869272Abstract: A Rankine Expander System that converts low quality heat (heat usually at temperatures below 400 degrees Celsius) to electricity by using the properties of trans-critical CO2. The system is comprised of a compressor, an expander, three heat exchangers, and a permanent magnet alternator (PMA). It operates at pressures and temperatures that hold the CO2 above its critical point for the full cycle, and as such, attains high efficiencies even at low power. Under some conditions the efficiency can exceed 50%.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Inventors: Martin A. Stuart, Stephen Cunningham

Patent number: 9695685Abstract: Systems and methods for providing notifications to monitoring systems that are remotely located from a well upon failure of a surge suppressor in a drive system for equipment used in the operation of the well. In one embodiment, an ESP system is installed in a well. A VSD having a surge suppressor is coupled between a power source and the ESP system. The surge suppressor is monitored to detect a failure of its surge suppression capabilities. In response to detecting a failure, a notification is provided to a monitoring system that is located remotely from the well. The notifications may be provided via phone call, email, text message or other means. The surge suppressor may also provide a local indication of the failure. The VSD may be configured to continue operation despite the failure of the surge suppression capability.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Ernesto A. Vilcinskas, Stephen Cunningham, David McMahon, Ryan Dodson, Brian Haapanen, Michael C. Underwood
