  • Patent number: 8139246
    Abstract: A printer and method of managing print jobs in the printer. Print job locations are identified in the printer. Each print job being printed is always in at least one of the print job locations and the locations are monitored for entering and exiting jobs. The printer includes a job location mask for each print job. Each bit location in the job location mask corresponds to one of the print job locations and a set bit indicates the presence of a print job in a corresponding print job location. As a print job enters a location, the location issues a call and the job location mask is updated to reflect the presence of the print job in that location.

  • Publication number: 20120046866
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for monitoring a hydrocarbon production system. A fiber optic sensor system is deployed into hydrocarbon production system, so as to extend to location of interest within the system, for instance, in conjunction with a downhole component or a surface component. The fiber optic system detects vibration present in the production system component, and provides a signal indicative of the vibration to a signal acquisition and analysis unit. The vibration of the production component is analyzed and a change in system flow condition/property or a change in production system component integrity is determined.

  • Patent number: 7977269
    Abstract: Novel ?-diimine metal complexes, particularly iron complexes, having a phenyl sulfidyl or substituted phenyl sulfidyl metal complexing group are disclosed. The ?-diimine metal complexes having a phenyl sulfidyl or substituted phenyl sulfidyl metal complexing group are produced by forming one of the ?-diimine metal complex imine bonds in the presence of a metal salt or an ?-acylimine metal complex. The ?-diimine metal complexes having phenyl sulfidyl or substituted phenyl sulfidyl metal complexing group are useful for polymerizing or oligomerizing olefins.

  • Publication number: 20090300725
    Abstract: A method for collaborating a first computer with a second computer. The method includes sending an invitation from the first computer to the second computer, and sending a list of permissions from the first computer to the second computer upon acceptance of the invitation. The list of permissions allows the second computer to access a limited portion of one or more data on the first computer. The method further includes performing an analysis on the limited portion of the data stored on the first computer by the second computer, and sending a notification from the second computer to the first computer, wherein the notification indicates that the analysis has been performed on the limited portion of the data.

  • Patent number: 7595907
    Abstract: A Job Monitor for providing printer recognition and management of a print job entity is described. The Job Monitor includes a repository of attributes and status associated with each print job that passes through the system. Interfaces to the Job Monitor provide the ability for components to process a job according to the unique requirements of the processing component, and report job attributes and processing status of the job to the Job Monitor for common access by other components. Each component has access to common variables and can present job attributes or status to its respective external interface according to the unique requirements dictated by the external interface. Additionally, internal job processing components interface with the Job Monitor to access and report current processing status. The common status repository provided by the Job Monitor is used by the Job Monitor and other components to control the sequence of processing within the printer.

  • Publication number: 20090219045
    Abstract: There is disclosed an electronic testbed, an electronic testbed board, and a method for positioning receptacles for nails in the electronic testbed board. In an embodiment, the electronic testbed board includes a mounting through-hole for mounting a receptacle for a nail. The mounting through-hole is drilled to a suitably precise diameter for mounting the receptacle substantially perpendicular to the testbed board. One or more via-holes are located adjacent the mounting through-hole, and are adapted to allow an electrical connection between any conductive layers provided at the one or more via-holes. The receptacle may be mounted more accurately and the electronic test bed may be built more accurately by separating the functions of the via-holes and the mounting through-hole.

  • Publication number: 20080126168
    Abstract: Systems and methods of managing a workflow of an oilfield activity are provided. A problem in the oilfield activity is identified, where the oilfield activity includes a number of tasks necessary to complete a project of a number of projects in the workflow, and where the number of tasks are arranged within a number of workflow states associated with the oilfield activity. A sequence for the number of tasks is selectively updated based on an analysis of the oilfield activity performed by a user. The project is analyzed by examining a progress of the project within one of the number of workflow states to obtain a decision, where the project is associated with the problem. The problem is resolved in the oilfield activity based on the decision.
