  • Patent number: 11922101
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for automated generation of integrated circuit designs and associated data. These allow the design of processors and SoCs by a single, non-expert who understands high-level requirements; allow the en masse exploration of the design-space through the generation processors across the design-space via simulation, or emulation; allow the easy integration of IP cores from multiple third parties into an SoC; allow for delivery of a multi-tenant service for producing processors and SoCs that are customized while also being pre-verified and delivered with a complete set of developer tools, documentation and related outputs. Some embodiments, provide direct delivery, or delivery into a cloud hosting environment, of finished integrated circuits embodying the processors and SoCs.

  • Publication number: 20210039278
    Abstract: A bulk storage plant for providing cement mixtures oil well construction is disclosed. The bulk storage plant includes bulk storage sources, an additive station, a weigh batcher, and a tumble blender. The bulk storage sources are adapted to contain cement ingredients. The additive station is adapted to provide an additive for adjusting cement properties. The weigh batcher is connected to the bulk storage silos and the additive station. The weigh batcher is adapted to receive the cement ingredients from the bulk storage sources and the additive from the additive station. The tumble blender is connected to the weigh batcher and is adapted to receive the cement ingredients and the additive from the weigh batcher. The tumble blender is adapted to blend the ingredients and provide the blended ingredients to one of a temporary storage silo and a storage vessel for transport to the oil well site.
