    Abstract: Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for constructing a parser that parses complex data. In some embodiments, a method is provided for receiving a parser definition as an input to a parser generator and generating a parser at least in part from the parser definition. In some embodiments, the generated parser comprises two or more handlers forming a processing pipeline. In some embodiments, the parser receives as input a first string into the processing pipeline. In some embodiments, the parser generates a second string by a first handler and inputs the second string regeneratively into the parsing pipeline, if the first string matches an expression specified for the first handler in the parser definition.

  • Publication number: 20140259660
    Abstract: A method is provided for forming a grounding arrangement on a shielded cable which includes a conductive core, a core insulation layer, a conductive shield layer, and an outer insulation layer. An inner ferrule is positioned adjacent an end portion of the conductive shield layer that has been exposed, the inner ferrule is crimped around the core insulation layer, and the end portion is folded over the inner ferrule to radially surround the inner ferrule. An electrically conductive outer ferrule is positioned radially adjacent to the end portion and the outer ferrule is crimped radially around the inner ferrule to capture the end portion radially between the inner ferrule and the outer ferrule, thereby fixing the outer ferrule in electrical contact with the conductive shield layer.

  • Publication number: 20140264177
    Abstract: Processes that generate syngas or reformed gas that have the desired H2/CO ratio, such that they can be used directly for producing higher value liquids, such as using a FT GTL process. The systems and methods of the present invention are simpler and more cost effective than conventional systems and methods. The systems and methods of the present invention generate the required CO2 in a reforming furnace by combusting natural gas with a mixture of O2 from an external source and CO2 that is recirculated from a reforming furnace. A second application of the natural gas combustion with external O2 mixed with recirculated CO2 in the reformer burners can be utilized in a DR process. The reformed gas or syngas containing H2 and CO is used to reduce iron oxide to metallic iron in a shaft furnace, for example.

  • Publication number: 20140268423
    Abstract: A read head structure is disclosed with a dual piece heat sink layer having a front piece formed over a front portion of a dynamic flying height (DFH) element and a back piece above a back portion of the DFH element. A first (S1) shield is formed on the front piece and between the front piece and air bearing surface (ABS). Front and back pieces are separated by an insulator gap. The front piece is used to help control read gap protrusion. As a result, a bottom portion of the S1 shield protrudes to a greater extent than a top portion adjacent to the sensor thereby protecting the sensor from unwanted contact with the magnetic media. The dual piece heat sink layer also enables an improved Figure of Merit in terms of temperature rise in the reader per unit of actuation (nm) delivered by the DFH element.

  • Publication number: 20140269558
    Abstract: Embodiments are provided to implement a time/power/frequency hopping scheme for device-to-device (D2D) discovery. The embodiments improve the UE detection of D2D discovery signals from neighboring UEs and account for large number of UEs' discovery signals. This is achieved by having neighboring UEs transmitting at different time instances and at different power levels. Further, neighboring UEs can be configured to transmit on different frequencies. This is achieved by assigning different time/power/frequency sequences to different UEs. An embodiment method includes transmitting, to a UE, parameters a hopping pattern of a first sequence of resources for transmitting a discovery signal by the UE and of a second sequence of resources for receiving a second discovery signal by the UE. The first sequence of resources comprises at least one of a sequence of time instances and a sequence of power levels. The second sequence of resources comprises time instances.

  • Publication number: 20140265613
    Abstract: A method for increasing the power transfer efficiency of a wireless induction power and/or data transfer system comprising a magnetic field transmitter which is positioned on a first side of a barrier and a magnetic field receiver which is positioned on a second side of the barrier opposite the first side comprises the steps of disposing at least one flux flow member in or adjacent the barrier at least partially between the transmitter and the receiver. The flux flow member comprises a magnetic permeability different from the magnetic permeability of the barrier. As a result, the flux flow member increases the amount of magnetic flux generated by the transmitter which is coupled through the barrier and into the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20140264665
    Abstract: A TMR (tunneling magnetoresistive) read sensor is formed in which a portion of the sensor stack containing the ferromagnetic free layer and the tunneling barrier layer is patterned to define a narrow trackwidth, but a synthetic antiferromagnetic pinning/pinned layer is left substantially unpatterned and extends in substantially as-deposited form beyond the lateral edges bounding the patterned portion. The narrow trackwidth of the patterned portion permits high resolution for densely recorded data. The larger pinning/pinned layer significantly improves magnetic stability and reduces thermal noise, while the method of formation eliminates possible ion beam etch (IBE) or reactive ion etch (RIE) damage to the edges of the pinning/pinned layer.
