Patent number: 9021454Abstract: Methods and systems for optimizing generation of natively executable code from non-native binary code are disclosed. One method includes receiving a source file including binary code configured for execution according to a non-native instruction set architecture. The method also includes translating one or more code blocks included in the executable binary code to source code, and applying an optimizing algorithm to instructions in the one or more code blocks. The optimizing algorithm is selected to reduce a number of memory address translations performed when translating the source code to native executable binary code, thereby resulting in one or more optimized code blocks. The method further includes compiling the source code to generate an output file comprising natively executable binary code including the one or more optimized code blocks.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Unisys CorpoationInventors: Judge William Yohn, Mitchell A Bauman, Feng-Jung Kao, James McBreen, James Merton

Publication number: 20140181368Abstract: Data stored in file blocks and storage blocks of a storage device may be tracked by the file system. The file system may track a number of writes performed to each file block and storage block. The file system may also track a state of each storage block. The file system may use information, such as the write count and the block state, to determine locations for updated data to be stored on the storage device. Placement of data by the file system allows the file system to manage wear on storage devices, such as solid state storage devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2012Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: Unisys CorporationInventors: Kelsey Bruso, James McBreen

Patent number: 4000005Abstract: A nickel alkaline storage battery electrode made by vacuum impregnating a porous conductive support with a coagulum of nickel hydroxide, cobalt hydroxide and graphite particles entrained in a three dimensional, reticulated, open-celled polyvinylidene fluoride binder, and thereafter compressing and drying the impregnated support. The coagulum is formed by mechanically suspending the hydroxide and graphite particles in a medium which is not a solvent for the polyvinylidene fluoride in a separate operation dissolving the polyvinylidene fluoride in a solvent which is only slowly soluble in the suspension medium for the particles, and thereafter adding the polyvinylidene fluoride solution to, and intimately mixing it with, the suspension such that the polyvinylidene fluoride slowly precipitates and coagulates substantially uniformly throughout the solution-suspension mixture and entrains the particles therein as coagulation proceeds.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1976Date of Patent: December 28, 1976Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventor: James McBreen
