  • Sediment bed passive flux meter (SBPFM)
    Patent number: 9404783
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a sediment bed passive flux meter (SBPFM) and associated methods. In one embodiment, an SBPFM is provided. The SBPFM comprises a casing. The casing comprises an intake portion, an exhaust portion, and an intermediate portion between the intake and exhaust portions. The SBPFM further comprises a permeable sock positioned within the intermediate portion of the casing and a sorptive matrix positioned within the sock. The sorptive matrix is impregnated with one or more tracers. The SBPFM is configured to passively intercept, but not retain, groundwater flow passing through the SBPFM from the intake portion to the exhaust portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for improved reliability and reduced power in a processor by automatic voltage control during processor idle states
    Patent number: 7299370
    Abstract: A method and apparatus automatically transferring to an enhanced low-power state of a processor is disclosed. In one embodiment, either all or a portion of a processor core clock distribution grid may be powered down in these enhanced low-power states. In one embodiment, the processor may operate in a reduced power supply voltage and operate at a reduced frequency during these enhanced low-power states. In one embodiment, a portion of the clock distribution grid may be left on to support snoop operations at a reduced frequency.
