20140337313 | EXECUTING DATABASE QUERIES USING MULTIPLE PROCESSORS - A system and a method are disclosed for efficiently executing database queries using a computing device that includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a processing unit based on single instruction multiple thread (SIMT) architecture, for example, a GPU. A query engine determines a target processing unit to execute a database query based on factors including the type and amount of data processed by the query, the complexity of the query, and the current load on the processing units. An intermediate executable representation generator generates an intermediate executable representation for executing a query on a database virtual machine. If the query engine determines that the database query should be executed on an SIMT based processing unit, a native code generator generates native code from the intermediate executable representation. The native code is optimized for execution using a particular processing unit. | 11-13-2014 |

20080236285 | Device for measuring bulk stress via insonification and method of use therefor - A device and method to nondestructively measure bulk stress in a member by employing an acoustic source, preferably an ultrasonic source, a processor, and a uniquely configured acoustic sensor package. The sensor package is configured to transmit both a longitudinal wave signal and a shear wave signal into the member. The processor is configured to capture reflections of the two impressed signals along a principal stress axis of the member and calculate the roundtrip time of the two signals. Knowing the length of the member along a principal stress axis, from the roundtrip times of the two signals, two velocities are calculated. By employing an equation that calculates bulk stress as a function of these shear and longitudinal wave velocities, a measure of bulk stress is calculated via the processor. The device measures bulk stress of a member that offers limited access in its permanent installation, such as dam reinforcements. | 10-02-2008 |

The preferred time value may be calculated by adding an adjustment to a recorded time of the last synchronization performed on the directory. The adjustment may be calculated by weighting duration of synchronizations performed on the directory. Adaptive techniques may then compare the time value to the trigger time. If the time value is less than the trigger time, the display and directory are synchronized. Otherwise, a timer may be set to the trigger time, and synchronization of the display and directory may be delayed until the trigger time. | 08-23-2012 |
