  • Publication number: 20140123481
    Abstract: A cable insertion tool for installing thermally compensated superconducting and cryo-resistive cables is disclosed. The cable insertion tool includes a guide tube adapted to engage a pipe and to prevent a cable positioned therein from buckling, a cross-bar adapted to move along the guide tube and engage an end of the cable positioned therein, and a cable drive apparatus operably connected to the cross-bar. The cable drive apparatus is adapted to move the cross-bar such that the cable positioned in the guide tube is forced into the pipe.

  • Patent number: 8630690
    Abstract: A method of compensating for thermal contraction of superconducting and cryo-resistive cables. The method includes the steps of determining a compensation length for a cable such that when the cable is subjected to an operating temperature, the cable is in or near a stress-free state, and installing the cable into a pipe such that portions of the cable extend outwardly past ends of the pipe. The method further includes the steps of marking each end of the cable such that the determined compensation length is visibly shown, forcing the cable into the pipe at an ambient installation temperature such that a cable pattern is formed therein, and maintaining the cable in the pipe to prevent the cable from being pushed out of the pipe.

  • Patent number: 8619757
    Abstract: Method and apparatus delivering voice/data services within a piconet operating over a limited range or over a WLAN communicating with 3GPP devices by reformatting data into IP format before delivering to the WLAN. The service is short message service (SMS). Upon receipt of an SMS message, relevant routing information is retrieved. A PDGW address for the SMS message is identified and is sent to the PDGW address which identifies the WLAN user equipment (UE) for receiving the SMS and reformats the SMS message into IP format (text or encapsulation) for delivery to the UE. A protocol architecture is provided for SMS delivery over WLANs, in particular, for UMTS/CDMA based SMS over WLAN through two alternative mechanisms, i.e., SMS tunneling and SMS proxy, for protocols for the delivery of SMS across the WLAN. The invention enhances standard 802.11 in the context of UMTS and CDMA 2000; as well as other scenarios.

  • Publication number: 20130152181
    Abstract: Illustrative embodiments include a method, system, and computer program product for providing a current status of an update to a data record. A computer receives, from a portal in a backend application, a request for status of a previous request to perform the update to the data record. The computer determines a previously reported status from a previously completed processing operation on the data record in a workflow used for processing the previous request. The computer further determines a status of a presently incomplete processing operation on the data record in the workflow used for processing the previous request. The computer adding the previously reported status and the status of the presently incomplete processing operation to a status report, forming the current status. The computer transmits a response including the current status.

  • Patent number: 8437407
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for employing a set of stream processors to greatly accelerate common video encoding and transcoding tasks, with the goal of making these tasks run at a reasonable rate on off-the-shelf hardware. Stream processors are most commonly found in the graphics processing unit (GPU), a commodity piece of computer hardware used to generate images for display. Embodiments of the invention are particularly advantageous to accelerate video encoding and transcoding tasks in which the blocks being processed have dependencies on their neighboring blocks.
