  • Patent number: 11982063
    Abstract: A system for levelling and gripping a jacket leg into a hollow foundation pile has a levelling assembly for adjusting the longitudinal axis of a jacket leg partially inserted in a hollow foundation pile with an actuation group arranged about the jacket leg and configured to exert a force parallel to the longitudinal axis between the upper edge of the hollow foundation pile and the jacket leg and selectively attachable to the jacket leg and recoverable for further use in another levelling assembly; and a gripping assembly for locking the jacket leg in a designated position with respect to the hollow foundation pile once leveled.

  • Patent number: 11838440
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a system, apparatus, and method that obtains audio and metadata information from voice calls, generates textual transcripts from those calls, and makes the resulting data searchable via a user interface. The system converts audio data from one or more sources (such as a telecommunications provider) into searchable usable text transcripts. One use of which is law enforcement and intelligence work. Another use relates to call centers to improve quality and track customer service history. Searches can be performed for callers, callees, keywords, and/or other information in calls across the system. The system can also generate automatic alerts based on callers, callees, keywords, phone numbers, and/or other information.

  • Publication number: 20170055596
    Abstract: A smart clothing device that is utilized for simulated touch and concussive force provides a force simulation element positioned between a rigid outer material and a flexible inner material. The rigid outer material supports the force simulation element and ensures an impact force is directed inwards, towards the flexible inner material. The rigid outer material and the flexible inner material are formed into a garment corresponding to a desired body part upon which the impact force is to be directed. A control unit actuates the force simulation element in response to a command or signal received from a trigger device. The control unit can vary the specific amount of force and the duration for which the impact force is imparted on the desired body part. The trigger device can be any electronic device either running a software program or producing a detectable signal.

  • Patent number: 7080366
    Abstract: A dynamic compiler and method of compiling code to generate a dominate path and handle exceptions. The dynamic compiler includes an execution history recorder that is configured to record the number of times a fragment of code is interpreted. When the code is interpreted a threshold number of times, the code is queued for compilation. The execution history recorder also keeps track of where transfer of control came from and where transfer of control goes to for each fragment of code that is executed, thereby allowing for compilation of a dominant path of code. If the execution of code deviates from the dominant path of compiled code (such as when an exception occurs), a fallback interpreter is utilized to interpret the fragment of code to be executed.

  • Patent number: 7069549
    Abstract: A method and system multi-threaded fragment patching. The method provides a link in a self-modifying multi-threaded computer system between a first and a second piece of compiled code where the first piece of compiled code includes a control transfer instruction to the second piece of compiled code. The link is formed by inserting a patch from the first piece of compiled code to the second piece of compiled code. The patch may be a direct reference or a reference to an outlier.

  • Patent number: 7058929
    Abstract: A system and method of direct invocation of Methods using class loaders. The method includes compiling a call to and a Method of a first class (assuming that the Method is final), determining whether the second class includes an instance of the Method of the first class, determining whether the instance of the Method of the second class overrides the Method of the first class, and altering the compiled code of the Method of the first class if the instance of the Method of the second class overrides the Method of the first class.

  • Publication number: 20060101104
    Abstract: A general computer-implement method and apparatus to optimize problem layout on a massively parallel supercomputer is described. The method takes as input the communication matrix of an arbitrary problem in the form of an array whose entries C(i, j) are the amount to data communicated from domain i to domain j. Given C(i, j), first implement a heuristic map is implemented which attempts sequentially to map a domain and its communications neighbors either to the same supercomputer node or to near-neighbor nodes on the supercomputer torus while keeping the number of domains mapped to a supercomputer node constant (as much as possible). Next a Markov Chain of maps is generated from the initial map using Monte Carlo simulation with Free Energy (cost function) F=?i,jC(i,j)H(i,j)—where H(i,j) is the smallest number of hops on the supercomputer torus between domain i and domain j.

  • Patent number: 7039738
    Abstract: A method and system for handling device driver interrupts in a computer system. An interrupt handling Method is initiating prior to the occurrence of any interrupts in the computer system. The interrupt handling Method is executed to a waiting state, and execution is then resumed when an interrupt occurs. When an interrupt is detected control is transferred to the operating system and the interrupt is dismissed.
