Abstract: A secure memory access system and method for providing secure access to Hyper Management Mode memory ranges is presented.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine including an exhaust arrangement comprises a first exhaust duct and a second exhaust duct. A valve arrangement preferably comprising separate first and second exhaust valves associated with each cylinder, to selectively direct exhaust from engine to the first exhaust duct during a first exhaust period, and to the second exhaust duct during a subsequent second exhaust period. A turbine having an inlet is connected to the first exhaust duct; and a compressor drivingly connected to and driven by the turbine, has an inlet connected to second duct. The compressor, driven by the turbine extracting energy from the exhaust, reduces the back pressure in the exhaust system reducing pumping losses, with the second duct bypassing the turbine in the second exhaust period such that the turbine also does not increase the exhaust back pressure at least during the main second exhaust phase.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for attaching a ferrule to a dragline rope. The method comprises locating the dragline rope in a die of a die-press, locating over the dragline rope a ferrule that is lined internally with a deformable material, and forcing the ferrule longitudinally through the die. The ferrule is caused to be internally expanded and be extruded back over the dragline rope, causing the lining to deform directly against the dragline rope and fastening the ferrule to the dragline rope.

Abstract: A secure memory access system and method for providing secure access to Hyper Management Mode memory ranges is presented.

Abstract: An architecture, system and method for operating on encrypted and/or hidden information (e.g., code and/or data). The invention enables creators, owners and/or distributors of proprietary code to keep such code inaccessible to users and user-controlled software programs. A memory architecture includes first and second protected memory spaces, respectively storing operating system instructions and a decrypted version of the encrypted information. The first protected memory space may further store a table linking the locations of the encrypted and/or hidden, decrypted information with a decryption and/or authorization key. The system includes the memory architecture and a processor for executing instructions, and the method loads, stores and operates on the encrypted and/or hidden information according to the memory architecture functionality and/or constraints.

Abstract: A turbine nozzle segment includes a band having a plurality of tabs, an airfoil extending from the band and a support structure attached to the tabs. The support structure has a plurality of biasing structures.

Abstract: A DC motor drive (100) including power electronics (120) and control electronics (130). The power electronics (120) are arranged to receive a high voltage power supply and to controllably output that supply to a DC motor to controllably operate the motor. The control electronics (130) are arranged to receive a low voltage power supply and to control operation of the power electronics (120) and hence of the motor at least partly in response to signals received by the control electronics (130) indicative of at least one potential difference across the power electronics (120). The drive further includes a microprocessor (150) and an opto-coupler (170) arranged to sense the output of the power electronics (120) and to generate based thereon the signals in a form for optical transmission via opto-coupler (170) between the output of the power electronics (120) and the control electronics (130), thereby allowing galvanic isolation of the control electronics (30) from the power electronics (120).

Abstract: An exhaust arrangement (16) for an internal combustion engine (10). An internal combustion engine (10) including such an exhaust arrangement (16) comprises a first exhaust duct (18) and a second exhaust duct (20) for the exhaust flow from the engine. A valve arrangement is provided, preferably comprising separate first and second exhaust valves (22,24) associated with each cylinder (12) of the internal combustion engine (10), to selectively direct exhaust from the engine (10) to the first exhaust duct (18) during a first exhaust period, and to the second exhaust duct (20) during a subsequent second exhaust period. A turbine (28) having an inlet (26) is connected to the first exhaust duct (18); and a compressor (32) drivingly connected to and driven by the turbine (28) has an inlet (34) connected to second duct (20).

Abstract: A system for electronic medication administration records system utilizing a computer processing unit and an operating system in a correctional facility. The system updates patient history and medication distribution to certain patient inmates recording the distribution and inmate signature for accurate and irrefutable records. The system creates auto mapping medical distribution, but can be updated manually for unrecognizable drug administration for inmates. The system sends updates for medical history of inmates and notifies administrator for prescription refills and/or medication reorders. The system works in conjunction with a health care server.
