Patent number: 8837255Abstract: The maximum output of a seismic source array may be reduced by activating the individual seismic sources within these seismic source array in a pattern that is extended in time rather than by the presently employed conventional simultaneous activation of a large number of individual seismic sources. Methods are disclosed which take data shot with patterned sources and may use a sparse inversion method to create data with the about same image quality as that of conventional sources. In this manner the output of the maximum impulse of a seismic source array may be reduced by an amplitude factor of about 10 in the examples shown here, corresponding to a reduction of about 20 dB while maintaining virtually the same seismic image quality. The disclosed methods may be used in combination with any simultaneous sourcing technique. In addition, the disclosed methods may be used with a plurality of source arrays.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: BP Corporation North America Inc.Inventors: Allan Ross, Raymond Lee Abma

Patent number: 8838959Abstract: A centralized password repository (CPR) provides network users with a password portal through which the user can manage password access to domains and applications on the network. A subset of the domains and applications on the network may be required, by design, to maintain a separate password infrastructure. For these systems, the CPR establishes a secure and authenticated communication channel and software on the system interfaces with the password infrastructure to synchronize the password in the system password infrastructure with the password in the CPR. For other systems not required to maintain a separate password infrastructure, the CPR performs password services by responding to requests from those systems seeking to validate user IDs and passwords. The CPR enables an administrator to modify network privileges and enables a user to alter passwords on the network through a single interface.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Rockstar Consortium US LPInventor: Christopher Raymond Lewis

Patent number: 8838487Abstract: A method for maintaining a common billing identifier for a user session in a communication network is presented. In the method, an authentication node of the communication network receives a first authentication request associated with a user session. In response to the first authentication request, a billing identifier associated with the user session is transferred from the authentication node to a source of the first authentication request. A second authentication request associated with the same user session is received at the authentication node. In response to the second authentication request, the same billing identifier is transferred from the authentication node to a source of the second authentication request.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2008Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Sprint Communications Company L.P.Inventors: Gary Joel Rieschick, Jeremy R.

Patent number: 8839184Abstract: Techniques for computer-assisted routing of an electronic design for a programmable target device are described herein. In an example embodiment, a computer system displays a representation of the programmable target device in a user interface. The computer system receives first user input that indicates a first component in the electronic design for the programmable target device. The computer system determines one or more second components of the electronic design that can be routed to the first component and displays one or more visual objects that indicate the one or more second components. The computer system then receives second user input that selects a particular component from the one or more second components and stores interconnect data indicating that the first component is routed to the particular component.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2014Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Dennis Raymond Seguine, Adriy Ivanets

Patent number: 8837544Abstract: A quantum device includes a resonator and a tuning structure. The tuning structure is made a material such as a chalcogenide and is positioned to interact with the electromagnetic radiation in the resonator so that a resonant mode of the first resonator depends on a characteristic of the tuning structure. The resonator is optically coupled so that a transition between quantum states associated with a defect produces electromagnetic radiation in the resonator. The characteristic of the tuning structure is adjustable after fabrication of the resonator and the tuning structure.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Charles M.

Patent number: 8839218Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for facilitating debugging of source code. A set of indirect memory references is identified in the source code and points-to records are generated for the source code. The set of indirect memory references are validated using the points-to records and an aliasing rule to identify zero or more indirect memory references having a potential aliasing problem. In a case in which the zero or more indirect memory references comprise at least one indirect memory reference, the at least one indirect memory reference is in the set of indirect memory references. Responsive to a determination that the zero or more indirect memory references comprise at least one indirect memory reference, a report is generated identifying at least one location in the source code associated with the at least one indirect memory reference. The report is stored.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2007Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christopher E.
