  • Patent number: 6347326
    Abstract: The operands of an N×M bit multiplication are partitioned into N/j+1 and M/k+1 bit signed submultiples. The most significant submultiple is assigned the sign of the operand, while each of the less significant submultiples is assigned a positive sign. The product of each submultiple pair is sign extended to the width of the product (N+M), and the accumulation of these sign extended submultiple products provides the product of the original twos complement operands, in twos complement form.

  • Publication number: 20010049918
    Abstract: Siding panels and intermediate articles of their manufacture are provided. The siding panels include a central portion including an aesthetic pattern and a pair of lateral edge portions which are molded while the polymeric material is still hot or molten. One exemplary aesthetic pattern provided is a cedar shake siding pattern. Adjacent cedar shake shingle impressions have substantially the same lengths, but a plurality of bottom edges of the individual shingle impressions are beveled to give the appearance of shingles having different lengths.

  • Patent number: 6330329
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing circular hunts within a switch. Only a limited number of trunk groups are searched in a PSTN switch which has large numbers of trunks available. Additionally, the starting point of the search varies among the trunk groups. This search method is called a circular hunt with window. The invention limits the amount of time and resources spent searching for available call routes and more efficiently distributes traffic across trunk groups.

  • Publication number: 20010045288
    Abstract: The present invention provides a drop ball sub that may be used to drop a large ball having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of a restriction in the wellbore such as the running tool used to run a first casing string through a second casing string. A smaller ball is used to control dropping of the large ball. The smaller ball has an outer diameter smaller than the restriction. The drop ball sub of the present invention may be used to operate any downhole tool that would benefit by receipt of a large ball. By dropping a larger ball, in one use of the invention larger valves can be controlled in the float equipment that provide a larger fluid flow path. A larger fluid flow path reduces surge pressure and enables the system to handle more debris. The present invention provides a system that preferably provides for a diverter tool above the running tool and a diverter tool below the running tool.

  • Patent number: 6217043
    Abstract: A portable assembly is provided for compact storage and to facilitate portability wherein a body is constructed of longitudinal parallel transversely aligned tubular frame members (A) for telescopically positioning an extensible handle (B) with brackets (C) being moved for longitudinally sliding movement on longitudinal body members (A) for carrying wheels (D) which are locked in position opposite each other beneath a medial portion of the load utilizing fasteners (E) without the necessity for utilizing a transverse axle. A flexible or rigid platform support (F) may be utilized, and a transverse brace (G) may be removably secured to stabilize the wheels and their mountings during the transporting of a load.

  • Patent number: 6167759
    Abstract: An ultrasonic system for grading meat transmits an ultrasonic signal into the meat and detects the resulting back-scattered signal. The envelope of the back-scattered signal is determined. A decaying exponential curve having the form y=exp(−Dt) is fitted to the envelope, where D is the attenuation factor for the curve and t is time. A grade of the meat is then determined as a function of the attenuation factor. It may be possible to improve the accuracy of this approach by measuring the total back-scattered energy from the back-signal and generating a grade for the meat based on a polynomial function of both the attenuation factor and the total back-scattered energy. Optionally, accuracy may be further enhanced by removing any anomalies in the back-scattered signal resulting from fat deposits in the meat before calculating the attenuation factor.

  • Patent number: 6142313
    Abstract: The firearms storage device provides a security rack of a clam-shell configuration enabling firearms to be secured via trigger guards. The device can be locked by a padlock or equivalent structure and the assembly obscures the way by which the device is secured to a fixture, the bolt of a locking device and its hinge pin. A two part base facilitates the use of the device in a number of different locations.

  • Patent number: 6106696
    Abstract: This invention is a reforming process that employs at least two moving bed reaction zones. One of the reaction zones, called the lead reaction zone, passes catalyst particles and a hydrocarbon-containing effluent to the other reaction zone, which operates at an inlet temperature that is at least 60.degree. F. (33.degree. C.) hotter than the lead reaction zone. In a preferred embodiment, this invention employs no heating between the combined feed exchanger and the lead reaction zone. This invention is particularly applicable to reforming processes that employ continuous regeneration sections.
