Patent number: 10628057Abstract: An example computing system may include a plurality of processors, persistent memory that is shared by the plurality of processors, and a memory-side accelerator that is to control access to the memory. A requesting processor of the plurality of processors may simultaneously request locking of and access to a target data object of the persistent memory by sending a single lock-and-access message to the memory-side accelerator. The lock-and-access message may include a first memory capability pointing to the target data object, a second memory capability pointing to a lock object that controls locking of the target data object, and a specified access operation that is requested.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2017Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Alexander Leslie Richardson, Moritz Josef Hoffmann, Dejan S.

Patent number: 10387335Abstract: In one example, a processor sends a memory access request including a data capability and a handle which references a master capability. In response to receiving the memory access request, a memory controller checks whether the handle references a valid master capability and checks whether the data capability is within a scope of the master capability. In response to determining that the master capability is valid and the data capability is within the scope of the master capability, the memory controller returns a result of the memory access request to the processor.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2017Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT LPInventors: Dejan S.

Patent number: 9702745Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining multiphase flow characteristics inside production equipment containing at least two fluids. A pulse of heat from a heat source adjacent to the production equipment is provided, and a thermal response to the pulse is measured at each of a plurality of temperature sensors located adjacent to the production equipment. The thermal response measurement includes a time constant obtained from a measured decline in the temperature after the pulse of heat has been provided. The measured thermal responses are used to determine parameters of a fluid contained in the production equipment in proximity to each of the temperature sensors. The determined fluid parameters are in turn used to determine multiphase flow characteristics.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: STATOIL PETROLEUM ASInventors: Reidar Barfod Schüller, Lene Amundsen, Pål Viggo Hemmingsen, Rainer Josef Hoffmann

Patent number: 9019367Abstract: The application pertains to detecting the fill level of a container for transporting and/or storing objects. This is achieved by determining an estimate of the number of objects in the container with the aid of a value of the container volume occupied by the objects or the already emptied container volume, on the basis of an average object volume of one or of a predetermined number of the objects, as long as the container bottom is covered by objects situated in the container. When a predetermined portion of the container bottom is visible, the objects in the container are counted, by identifying the individual objects on the container bottom. In addition, a container that is particularly suitable for the proposed methods and a system with a plurality of such containers are proposed.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2011Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Wuerth Elektronik ICS GmbH & Co.
