  • Inline vaporizer
    Patent number: 8327845
    Abstract: An inline vaporizer disposed in a carrier gas line vaporizes a fluid and adds such vaporized fluid to a carrier gas that flows within the carrier gas line. The vaporizer includes a reservoir or wick that transfers a fluid to a vaporizing element that is adjacent to the reservoir or wick. The vaporizer releases a vapor into the carrier gas line so that the carrier gas flows past the vaporizer to form a vapor and carrier gas mixture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 11, 2012
    Assignee: Hydrate, Inc.
    Inventors: Lawrence A. Weinstein, Douglas H. Currie, Jr., James R. Scott, Tuan Q. Tran

  • Parallel processor cell computer system
    Patent number: 5418952
    Abstract: A computer system especially for solution of real time inference problems is disclosed. The system includes a systolic cellular processor which provides predictable and responsive real time operation and fine grain programmability. The system comprises a plurality of separate processor cells each having its own local memory, the cells running simultaneously and operative to execute their respective program instructions. A global memory is coupled via a global bus to the processor cells and provides data to the cells and stores data from the cells. The bus provides effectively simultaneous access of all cells to the global memory. A further feature of the system is a novel parallel programming language using English syntax and which provides synchronous and predictable binding of code to each cell. A graphic work station is provided as a user interface to provide visual access to each cell or to cell groups for ease of control.
