20090055924 | Trusted records using secure exchange - A secure method and apparatus for data exchange that allows a client's or patient's financial data, medical records, and other information to be stored on a card-shaped compact disk, with multiple levels of encryption to preserve privacy. The trusted record disc can be read on any computer with a network or internet connection, but access to the information on the disc is restricted according to a password protected hierarchical encryption policy. In order to obtain access to the restricted information, an individual user needs to enter a unique password that is sent to a central server. The server confirms the password and returns an electronic key to the user's computer. The electronic key unlocks the encryption and allow the user to view only the information that is permitted (under federal patient, financial privacy or other laws). Thus, in the medical setting, physicians can review the patient's entire medical record and make changes to it. Nurses, pharmacists, and billing clerks have differing predetermined levels of access. | 02-26-2009 |

20090006892 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO DETECT ERRORS IN COMPUTER SYSTEMS BY USING STATE TRACKING - Disclosed are a method and system for detecting errors in a computer system including a processing unit to perform tasks to change items. The method comprises the steps of assigning a task control block to the processing unit, and using the task control block to keep track of items being changed by the processing unit. The method comprises the further steps of at defined times, checking the task control block to identify items being changed by the processing unit, and checking the states of said identified items to determine if those states are correct. The preferred embodiment of the invention detects an error when it arises (where possible), and utilizes an infrastructure that allows simple and periodic consistency checks (for example, at designated code points) that detect the error before it causes follow-on problems. | 01-01-2009 |
20090037618 | Channel communicaton Array Queues in Hardware System Area - A bi-directional and full duplex facility for permitting both the IO processor and the Channel to write CCA messages on their respective queues at the same time. IOP messages to the channel are stored on the TO_CHN queue and Channel messages to the IOP on the TO_IOP queue. CCA Queues replace hardware CCAs due to increasing transmission capabilities of current IO processors and Channel processors. Even though the mechanism is similar, the present invention provides some benefits in the use of signaling. The IOP does not have to signal the Channel each time it puts something on its outbound queue. Each queue contains multiple slots. This allows the IOP and Channel to write multiple messages on the targeted queue without encountering a CCA busy signal. The actual queues are now structured in hardware system memory. | 02-05-2009 |
20090138758 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO EXECUTE RECOVERY IN NON-HOMOGENEOUS MULTI PROCESSOR ENVIRONMENTS - Disclosed are a method and system for parallel execution of recovery in a non-homogeneous multi-processor environment. The method defines criteria how to decide which recovery actions are to be performed, and on which processor. If multiple recovery actions are pending, the goal is to execute them in parallel on multiple processors. This is much more efficient than the traditional approach of one processor doing all the required recovery. In addition, in large, non-homogeneous systems such a single processor capable of doing the complete recovery might not be existing at all due to technical limitations. The method of this invention also defines rules and mechanisms how multiple processors executing recovery in parallel can access shared resources while avoiding deadlock situations. This includes accessing resources that are currently owned by another processor. | 05-28-2009 |

20130269952 | Robotic Disassembly Method at a Well Site - An example robotic method for disassembling and removing a well string (e.g., a string of sucker rods or tubing within a wellbore) involves a computer controlled track and trolley system. Movement of multiple trolleys, carriages, shuttles, articulated arms and other hardware is orchestrated in a manner that minimizes cycle time and thus reduces the overall time for removing the entire well string. In some examples, upper and lower robots travel along and share a first set of tracks while an upper trolley mechanism and a main trolley travel along and share a second set of tracks. In some examples, the two sets of tracks are mounted vertically to a mast, wherein the mast is part of a workover vehicle. | 10-17-2013 |

A robot traveling vertically along the mast transfers rods and tubing between the well and the appropriate storage rack. In some examples, the rod storage rack pivots between an extended operative position and a retracted transport position. In some examples, a robotic jib transfers rods or tubing to and from a lay-down storage area. Some example robot jibs are movable to a fully deployed position for normal operation and a stored position within the mast's footprint for vehicle transport. | 01-30-2014 |

In some examples, during disassembly of a string of rods being withdrawn from the wellbore, the tool can unscrew the coupling selectively from either the upper rod or the lower one. In some examples, a controller monitors the tightening or unscrewing of a joint and derives a joint signature based on a series of torque and rotation readings sampled during the make or break operations. The controller, in some examples, identifies a defective joint by comparing the joint signature to a predetermined reference. | 10-02-2014 |
