System and method for automated, range-based irrigation
InactiveUS20140236868A1Efficient modificationEfficient irrigationData processing applicationsElectric devicesDecision controlMonitoring and control
A centralized irrigation system provides decision-making or non-decision-making controllers in combination with a client server architecture that employs range-based irrigation algorithms for monitoring and control. Range-based control strategies determine a total volumetric water holding capacity for a volume of soil and a range of desirable soil moisture in a root zone, and compare a calculated root zone soil moisture to that range in order to determine the volume of water to be applied during an irrigation event. The system permits a shared-savings business model where the vendor provides a system and the customer only pays the vendor a portion of the savings obtained by using the system.

One arm data center topology with layer 4 and layer 7 services
ActiveUS7571470B2Expensive to operateExpensive to setComputer security arrangementsMultiple digital computer combinationsTraffic capacityData center
A one-arm data center topology routes traffic between internal sub-nets and between a sub-net and an outside network through a common chain of services. The data center topology employs layer 4 services on a common chassis or platform to provide routing and firewall services while reducing the number of devices necessary to implement the data center and simplifying configuration. Load balancing is provided by a load balancing device. In the one-arm topology, policy based routing or client network address translations or NAT pushes traffic to the CSM.

Spray head and nozzle arrangement for fire suppression
InactiveUS20050011652A1Increase heat transfer rateEnhanced inhibitory effectBurnersSpray nozzlesSpray nozzleEngineering
A water spray head for spraying water spray mist in a fire prevention system, includes a water supply duct; a spray head upper body; a fluid chamber; and a “w” shaped bottom, on which at least two rings of nozzles are installed. The water spray head has a body with a “w” shaped bottom, a chamber and two rings of liquid mist nozzles on the slant walls of the “w” shaped bottom. The liquid mist sprays from the nozzles at the inner ring may collide with each other directly or tangentially to form finer liquid droplets and a more uniformly distributed “solid cone” water spray. The water mist formation of the individual nozzle is also designed to be based on the collision of liquid streams from multiple small flow channels in a large flow channel, thereby forming even finer droplets.

Remote meter reading using transmitted visual graphics.
InactiveUS20060036967A1Reduce operating costsImprove abilitiesTariff metering apparatusFluid pressure measurementGraphicsDisplay device
A technique for remote meter reading (RMR) of a plurality of meters uses visual image devices coupled to pattern recognition technologies to allow unattended meters, gages, registers, screens, and other similar display equipment to communicate their output data without human intervention to a central source and to provide this data on a global network. Historically, meters, gages and similar devices were either read by the human eye or by data-loggers and controllers which transmitted these data to a host system. With this invention the display devices can be read autonomously by the method described herein and a visual graphic of the meter face is transmitted to a host which then recognizes the data value embedded in the visual. Substantial increases in efficiency; performance and economics can be achieved with this invention which introduces the concept of “visualmetering”.

A fill factor of the coil relative to the space in which it is housed may be at least 60%, and up to 90% or more. The stator and rotor flux-carrying elements together may include at most three separable parts.

Coalescing memory barrier operations across multiple parallel threads
ActiveUS20110078692A1Expensive to operateReduce the impactMultiprogramming arrangementsMemory systemsParallel computingSystem level
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for coalescing memory barrier operations across multiple parallel threads. Memory barrier requests from a given parallel thread processing unit are coalesced to reduce the impact to the rest of the system. Additionally, memory barrier requests may specify a level of a set of threads with respect to which the memory transactions are committed. For example, a first type of memory barrier instruction may commit the memory transactions to a level of a set of cooperating threads that share an L1 (level one) cache. A second type of memory barrier instruction may commit the memory transactions to a level of a set of threads sharing a global memory. Finally, a third type of memory barrier instruction may commit the memory transactions to a system level of all threads sharing all system memories. The latency required to execute the memory barrier instruction varies based on the type of memory barrier instruction.

A grill smoker apparatus provides a container and a cover. A carrier is disposed in the container. The carrier is configured to store smoke producing material such as wood chips. The carrier may be removable from the container for filling the container, for emptying the container, for replacing the container or for cleaning the smoker apparatus. The carrier includes an outer dimension smaller than the inner dimension of the container. As such, a carrier gap is defined between the inner container wall and the outer region of the carrier. The carrier gap may form a uniform, annular gap in some embodiments. Alternatively, the carrier gap has a non-uniform radial dimension around the perimeter of the container. The carrier gap provides enhanced airflow to the smoke producing material in the carrier for improving smoker performance. A heat concentrator also focuses heat to the smoker apparatus for igniting the smoke producing material.
