  • Patent number: 11941429
    Abstract: A computer system including one or more processors and persistent, word-addressable memory implements a persistent atomic multi-word compare-and-swap operation. On entry, a list of persistent memory locations of words to be updated, respective expected current values contained the persistent memory locations and respective new values to write to the persistent memory locations are provided. The operation atomically performs the process of comparing the existing contents of the persistent memory locations to the respective current values and, should they match, updating the persistent memory locations with the new values and returning a successful status. Should any of the contents of the persistent memory locations not match a respective current value, the operation returns a failed status. The operation is performed such that the system can recover from any failure or interruption by restoring the list of persistent memory locations.

  • Publication number: 20220009590
    Abstract: A vessel for operation on a water surface, having a hull that creates a waveform that attracts aquatic animals such as dolphins when traveling at a speed of 9 to 13 knots. The hull comprises a bow, a rounded stern and a midship section extending from the bow to the stern. The hull has a ratio of a waterline beam to a radius of the stern in a range between 2.0-2.5, and a speed-to-length ratio in a range between 1.5-1.7 to create a soft, curling wake in which dolphins can surf and jump. The hull further has a length-to-beam ratio between 2.5 to 3.0, a flat bottom aft, a high deadrise at the bow, and a full midsection with a longitudinal center of gravity located 52% to 56% aft of a beginning of a waterline to result in a low prismatic coefficient of the hull.

  • Patent number: 6163785
    Abstract: The present invention is a system of integrated, computer-based processes for monolingual information development. and multilingual translation. An interactive text editor enforces lexical and grammatical constraints on a natural language subset used by the authors to create their text, which they help disambiguate to ensure translatability. The resulting translatable source language text undergoes machine translation into any one of a set of target languages, without the translated text requiring any postediting.

  • Patent number: 5995920
    Abstract: A computer-based method and system for monolingual document development, which includes the steps of entering into a text editor input text in a source language, checking the input text against vocabulary source language constraints, and providing interactive feedback relating to the input text if non-constrained source language is present. The method and system also includes the steps of checking for syntactic grammatical errors and semantic ambiguities in the source text, and providing interactive feedback to remove syntactic grammatical errors and semantic ambiguities in the source text.

  • Patent number: 5768268
    Abstract: An open-architecture digital cellular base station readily adapted to support communication over a variety of air interface standards is disclosed herein. The base station includes a wideband digital transceiver system having transmit and receive sections. Within the transmit section, an input line interface operates to couple a plurality of input information signals onto a time-division multiplexed (TDM) transmit bus. A plurality of digital transmitter modules are coupled to the TDM transmit bus, each of the digital transmitter modules generating a set of digital baseband signals in response to a corresponding set of the plurality of input information signals. The set of digital information signals are applied to a wideband summation network disposed to sequentially add the set of digital information signals into a wideband data stream. A wideband transmitter then generates a wideband transmission waveform using the wideband data stream.
