Patent number: 8601128Abstract: Methods and apparatus for allocating computer hardware resources of a hard partition of a computer server system to one or more soft partitions. In response to a partitioning request, a nucleus firmware instance of a hard partition may be configured to launch a separate firmware instance corresponding to each requested soft partition, and to allocate partitionable hardware resources of the hard partition to the soft partitions by allocating the hardware resources to each separate firmware instance.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Thomas Ford, Khoa D. Nguyen, Richard D. Powers

Publication number: 20100202869Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for generating power from fluid motion, such as wind are provided. The apparatus is a wing-shaped airfoil with cup-shaped indentations that allow the airfoil to harness wind energy throughout a wide range of wind speeds and from different wind directions. The indentations harness wind energy at low wind speeds while the wing-shape generates a lifting force at high wind speeds to harness wind energy. The system comprises one or more of the devices configured in a hollow, generally cylindrical, shape and connected to a ring frame. The system rotates about an axis running through the center of the ring frame. The rotational motion of the system generates electrical power via a generator. The method is a method for generating electrical power from the rotational motion of the system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2008Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITYInventors: Sridhar Condoor, Khoa D. Nguyen, Michael Reichle

Patent number: 7657776Abstract: Embodiments include methods, apparatus, and systems for containing machine check events in a virtual partition. One embodiment is a method of software execution. The method divides a hard partition into first and second virtual partitions and attempts to correct an error in a firmware layer of the first virtual partition. If the error is not correctable, then the method reboots the first virtual partition without disrupting hardware resources in the second virtual partition.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2006Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Anurupa Rajkumari, Khoa D. Nguyen, Marvin Spinhirne

Patent number: 5029077Abstract: A data processing system gives an application running on the operating system direct access to the output display. The system is operable in two modes. In the first mode, if the application displays text to the output display, the output data must go through every layer of the processing system before it reaches the output display. In the second mode, the application can output data directly to the output display without going through the many layers of the processing system. In this second mode, a buffer is defined by the application. Input data from the input devices are stored in this buffer. The application accesses the buffer for direct output to the display.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1988Date of Patent: July 2, 1991Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Farhad H. Fatahalian, Larry A. Halliday, Khoa D. Nguyen

Patent number: 4962468Abstract: Two polygon fill algorithms are presented for filling polygons on a graphics display. The first polygon fill algorithm fills polygons that are strictly convex. The second polygon fill algorithm fills a larger class of polygons than the first polygon fill algorithm which includes polygons being concave in the x direction, and polygons having crossing lines. The first polygon fill algorithm tests the polygon for strict convexity by testing for a consistent turning direction, and by testing for once around in the y direction. The first polygon fill algorithm then stores the maximum and minimum value of the pel selected by the Bresenham algorithm for each scan line of the polygon. The fill line is drawn from the pel having the minimum value to the pel having the maximum value for each scan line of the polygon. The second polygon fill algorithm tests the polygon to ensure that it can be filled with one unique fill line for each scan line of the polygon.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1987Date of Patent: October 9, 1990Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gary M. Beauregard, Larry K. Loucks, Khoa D. Nguyen, Robert J. Urquhart

Patent number: 4555773Abstract: A word processing system is provided with printing means for printing on a character by character basis a data stream including merged graphic and alphanumeric data. The word processing system is provided with an interactive display for displaying by character generation a data stream representative of alphanumeric characters to be printed together with means for printing the characters on a document on a character by character basis. Operator interactive apparatus is provided whereby the operator can form a graphics data stream which is displayable on said display by character generation. This graphics data stream may then be integrated into the existing alphanumeric data stream, and the data in this integrated data stream may then be applied to the printing means whereby the alphanumeric characters and the graphic characters represented by this data stream are printed character by character to provide a document having the integrated alphanumeric and graphic information.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1983Date of Patent: November 26, 1985Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Roy E. Karnes, Jr., Rex A. McCaskill, Khoa D. Nguyen
