Abstract: An electronic device has a runtime integrity checker for monitoring contents of storage locations in an address range. The runtime integrity checker has a location selector for selecting the storage locations by generating addresses within the address range for locations to be checked, an interface unit coupled to the location selector for receiving the addresses for accessing the locations to be checked via a bus interface, and a processor coupled to the interface unit for retrieving the contents from the locations to be checked. A mask unit is provided for processing a mask for defining the locations to be checked based on bits in the mask. The hardware enables selective monitoring of non contiguous storage locations or data areas.

Abstract: An apparatus that is usable with a well includes a first equipment section that includes a first inductive coupler and a second equipment section that includes a second inductive coupler. The second equipment section is adapted to be run downhole into the well after the first equipment section is run downhole into the well to engage the first equipment section. A mechanism of the apparatus indicates when the first inductive coupler is substantially aligned with the second inductive coupler.

Abstract: A method of designing a network circuit for a telecommunications network is disclosed. The method includes storing first model data in a database representing a first model of the telecommunications network. Second model data is received representing a second model of the telecommunications network. The second model data defines node groups, each representing a plurality of network nodes of the first network model, and interconnections between node groups, each representing connectivity between node groups in the first network model. The method involves searching the second model data to select a route from a start node group to an end node group, the route specifying a plurality of node groups connected by interconnections in the second network model; and searching the first model data to select a circuit from a node of the start node group to a node of the end node group.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a well for indicating movement of a reservoir. The apparatus may include first and second equipment assemblies connected by a telescoping connection mechanism. A sensor assembly may be provided and configured to detect relative movement of at least a portion of the telescoping connection mechanism. The relative movement of at least a portion of the telescoping mechanism may interpreted so as to correlate to the compaction or expansion of the reservoir.
