Patent number: 10239594Abstract: An arrangement of fenders nested together for compact storage, the fenders including two or more cylindrical bodies having a cavity accessed through the fender top, the fenders being similar shape but graduated in size such that the cavity of a larger fender tensionally receives the next smaller sized fender, the outer diameter of the smaller fender equal to the inner diameter of the larger fender cavity. A fender has a rigid inner core surrounded by a compressible shell made of foam or similar material. The inner core has attachment points for a rope or line. The smallest nesting fender in the set has a cavity diameter sized to fit a commercially-available, off-the-shelf fender. The fenders may be separated and deployed at individual locations on a vessel, or kept together and deployed as a single fender capable of absorbing a greater impact than any of the fenders individually would absorb.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Contact Left, LLCInventors: John D. Denney, Jr., Robert Carrasca, Christopher Hamlin

Publication number: 20170356230Abstract: Improvements to movable closure systems which aid installability and reliability of said systems can include wheels running along the top and bottom of individual slidable elements, the wheels oriented horizontally and disposed within a track configured for receiving the horizontal wheels. The horizontal wheels reduce the vertical profile of the track-engaging portions of the slidable elements, enabling more of the slidable element to be used for glass or other aesthetically-preferable transparent materials. A track leveling system enables installers to more easily deploy and properly tune the system between floors and casings which are not perfectly flush. A compression jamb permits closure of the system via slidable elements pressing into the jamb to deflect it in order to better seal the closure comprised of the individual slidable elements. A durable hinge mechanism permits the sliding elements to rotate in order to stack the sliding elements at one end of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2017Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventors: Adam Conley, Robert Carrasca, Christopher Hamlin

Publication number: 20050149884Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for coevolutionary circuit design. A system suitable for providing integrated circuit design may include a memory suitable for storing a first set of instructions and a second set of instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is suitable for performing the first set of instructions and the second set of instructions. The first set of instructions is suitable for configuring a processor to provide an integrated circuit development environment in which a support methodology for an integrated circuit is created. The second set of instructions is suitable for configuring a processor to provide tools for implementing a platform architecture of an integrated circuit in which the platform architecture supplies a structure of the integrated circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2005Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventor: Christopher Hamlin

Publication number: 20050086039Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for comparing different IC technologies. According to an exemplary aspect of the present invention, an interactive computer program takes a multidimensional space represented by all of the variability associated with design and production of complex semiconductor devices, and collapses it down into a smaller space representing key variables of interest, and particularly the key variables of interest to a customer such as risk and cost. Sliders may be used by a customer to set input variables reflecting realistic requirements on the part of the customer. For output, 3-D and/or 2-D graphics may be used to show how the IC technologies visually line up in relation to one another in terms of risk and also in terms of cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2003Publication date: April 21, 2005Inventor: Christopher Hamlin

Publication number: 20050034087Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for mapping platform-based design to multiple foundry processes. According to an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a method for mapping platform-based design to multiple foundry processes may include the following steps. First, availability of required features of a design in a target foundry process may be checked. The target foundry process must provide all the features that are used in the design. The design may include base wafer layers and metal stack layers. Then, a base wafer/metal stack interface layer for the design may be selected. Next, compatible blocks between different base wafer processes may be created. Then, a physical design library for the design may be created. Next, a logic design and timing library for the design may be created. This way, the design may be mapped to different foundry processes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Christopher Hamlin, James Koford, Douglas Boyle

Publication number: 20050034088Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for mapping platform-based design to multiple foundry processes. According to an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a predefined (or pre-specified) slice is successfully mapped on to a first fabrication process with a first set of design rules to produce a first result. Then the slice's ability to be mapped to a second fabrication process with a second set of design rules is evaluated to produce a second result. Next, the comparison between the two results is computed to produce a third result. The third result may be then used to modify the slice architecture, optimize the metalization process and/or modify the first or second fabrication process. The slice definition, the first set of design rules, the second set of design rules, the first result, the second result, and the third result may be stored into a database.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2003Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventor: Christopher Hamlin

Publication number: 20050034086Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for mapping platform-based design to multiple foundry processes. According to an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a method for mapping platform-based design to multiple foundry processes may include the following steps. First, a virtual process is defined to include at least one fabrication process. A virtual process is a totality of variables associated with the population of candidate processes and any other process of interest, which might be purely hypothetical, that would be capable, in principle, of accommodating some or all slices. A virtual process may or may not be realized and is an abstract logical container for a population of processes. Then, the virtual process may be stored into a database. The virtual process may be in a representation including a list of attributes of entities making up the fabrication process. Next, optimization of the database may be performed using mathematical and statistical tools.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2004Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Christopher Hamlin, James Koford
