20160069617 | HEAT RECOVERY APPARATUS AND METHOD - A grey water heat recovery apparatus has first and second passes arranged in counter-flow orientation. The heat recovery apparatus is made from commonly available materials. The heat recovery apparatus has a hot side for grey water, and a cold side for fresh water supplied under pressure. The heat recovery apparatus is used to pre-heat water for a water heater, and extracts heat from the grey water drains of a building in which the grey water drains are segregated from the sewage drains. The fresh water is carried in copper or stainless steel coils or linear tubing modules in series, each coil or linear tubing module being immersed in a grey water sump in a cylindrical plastic pipe. The water level in the sump is determined by the drain outlet level, and is high enough to immerse at least the dominant portion of the fresh water coil in grey water. The coils have a return leg such that both ends of the fresh water coil are carried out through the same upper end pipe closure, without a pressurized line wall penetration in the walls of the plastic pipe. The entire assembly may be enclosed in a unitary external housing with easily accessible connection fittings. | 03-10-2016 |

20090175202 | Method for Augmenting a Network - To augment a network by adding a network element, network services affected by the augmentation, and a temporary route for transmitting network services determined as affected by the augmentation via the temporary route are determined. A new route through the augmented network, and a spanning tree corresponding to the new route are determined. Memberships of a virtual local area network (VLAN) in ports of network elements of the temporary route are configured. Cost factors at these ports are changed such as to direct the network services determined as affected by the augmentation through the temporary route. A VLAN membership is calculated for each port in the new route for a network service that passes through the augmented network. The new route through the augmented network is re-calculated based on the spanning tree, and VLAN memberships in the ports of network elements which are no longer needed are deleted. | 07-09-2009 |

20080288652 | NETWORK CORE ACCESS ARCHITECTURE - The proposed architecture is integrated in a generic System on Chip (SoC) and can include or consist of an expanded network interface and an infrastructure for accessing Intellectual Property (IP) cores in the system. The architecture enables the system on chip to communicate with a user workstation connected to a communication network. The invention can be used as a simplified network interface for data exchange, which does not require embedded processors and respective software.

20090113405 | RECONFIGURABLE COPROCESSOR ARCHITECTURE TEMPLATE FOR NESTED LOOPS AND PROGRAMMING TOOL - The architectures derived from the proposed template are integrated in a generic System on Chip (SoC) and consist of reconfigurable coprocessors for executing nested program loops whose bodies are expressions of operations performed in a functional unit array in parallel. The data arrays are accessed from one or more system inputs and from an embedded memory array in parallel. The processed data arrays are sent back to the memory array or to system outputs. The architectures enable the acceleration of nested loops compared to execution on a standard processor, where only one operation or datum access can be performed at a time. The invention can be used in a number of applications especially those which involve digital signal processing, such as multimedia and communications. The architectures are used preferably in conjunction with von Neumann processors which are better at implementing control flow. The architectures can be scaled easily in the number of data stream inputs, outputs, embedded memories, functional units and configuration registers. A computational system may entail several general purpose processors and several coprocessors derived from this architectural template. The coprocessors are connected either synchronously or using asynchronous first in first out memories (FIFOs), forming a globally asynchronous locally synchronous system. Each coprocessor can be programmed by tagging and rewriting the nested loops in the original program. The programming tool produces a coprocessor configuration per each nested loop group, which is replaced in the original code with coprocessor input/output operations and control. | 04-30-2009 |

20120248042 | OIL SANDS TAILINGS MANAGEMENT - A system and method for managing fluid mature fine tailings (MFT) containment volume in a tailings pond to a minimum, fixed steady-state volume by balancing the accumulation of the MFT in the pond with consumption of the MFT from the pond by one or both of spiking the MFT into coarse sand tailings forming a coarse sand beach with trapped fines which is segregating for forming a trafficable deposit or centrifuging MFT from the tailings pond and depositing the resulting centrifuge cake on the coarse sand beach. During the life of the oil sand operation, when the volume of MFT approaches the fixed volume of the tailings pond, MFT is consumed from the pond using both sand-spiking and centrifugation as required. Production of MFT in the pond is also reduced by diverting an underflow from a secondary flotation cell in an extraction plant from the tailings pond to a thickener where the fines-rich thickened tailings from the thickener are beached for subsequent dewatering and reclamation. | 10-04-2012 |
