    Abstract: A sorting scheme which does not require any compare or branch instructions is particularly useful for computers with multiple parallel functional units. Sorting two numbers or binary strings is performed using arithmetic instructions instead of conventional compare and branch instructions, thereby improving the performance of superscalar and very large instruction word (VLIW) computers. When applied to reduced instruction set computers (RISC), the sorting scheme provides better utilization of floating-point units. The sorting scheme allows floating point representation of data and floating-point instructions to sort binary strings.

    Abstract translation: 不需要任何比较或分支指令的排序方案对于具有多个并行功能单元的计算机特别有用。 使用算术指令而不是传统的比较和分支指令对两个数字或二进制串进行排序,从而提高超标量和非常大的指令字(VLIW)计算机的性能。 当应用于精简指令集计算机(RISC)时,排序方案可以更好地利用浮点数据。 排序方案允许数据的浮点表示和浮点指令对二进制字符串进行排序。

    Abstract: We describe, herein, a new class of controlled fusion machines that are expected to successfully implement confinement of the hot plasma using a set of electric and magnetic fields. It includes usage of electrostatic charges along with a large ratio of the concentration of positively charged nuclei to the concentration of negatively charged electrons. It would lead to a stable steady state with a very high Q value that is expected to be orders of magnitude higher than achieved so far by any of the controlled fusion machines. Even though usage of superconductors or near superconductors is not necessary to achieve this performance, it is desirable to use superconductors for optimal performance. So, in some of the preferred embodiments of the invention, superconductor or near superconductor structures are built into the design of the machine itself, even though, it is possible to just use superconductors or near superconductors as stand-alone components in the machine.

    Abstract: The porous displacement piles comprising (a) closed-ended pipe piles with small holes and or narrow slots, filled with compacted sandy soil, (b) closed-ended porous pipe piles such as closed-ended pipe pile with very small holes and or very narrow slots, and (c) a precast prestressed porous concrete piles are driven through inside the already driven non-displacement hollow pipe piles in a grid pattern to create excess pore-water pressures generally ranging between 50 and 1500 kPa in cohesive soils, which begin dissipating through inside the porous displacement piles to rapidly consolidate and densify the said cohesive soil. The porous displacement piles are designed for permitting free flow of the pressurized pore-water and to prevent migration of particles of cohesive soil into the porous displacement pile using filter design criteria or verified by laboratory tests. These piles when driven in sandy soils densify sandy soils instantaneously.

    Abstract: The rapid consolidation and compaction method comprises (i) first driving a hollow pipe, (ii) driving a pipe with a removable end plate after filling and compacting the sandy material in it, through the hollow pipe, to required depth, creating high excess pore-water pressures in the range of 50 to 300 KPa in clayey soils, (iv) pulling out the pipe section leaving behind the removable end plate and thereby installing porous displacement piles which allows dissipation of the excess pore-water pressures horizontally to the porous displacement pile, in which the excess water flows out vertically to the ground surface, and (v) the length of the drainage path is reduced to half the spacing between adjoining porous displacement piles, allowing rapid consolidation resulting in increase in density. Installing the porous displacement piles in the layer of loose to medium dense sand layer results in the instantaneous increase in its density.

    Abstract: The expandable jacket and flexible ring comprises of the segmented circular arch shaped plates and bands or rings around the segmented plates. The test preparation consists of a membrane surrounding a specimen with or without a filter, segmented plates surrounding the membrane, and bands or rings around the segmented plates to permit uniform radial expansion of the specimen through its height when increments of vertical load are applied during the test, thereby providing accurate values of area of cross-section, deviator stress, volume change, modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio and shear strength. Using the flexible ring, three-dimensional consolidation tests are performed to determine three-dimensional coefficient of consolidation and coefficients of consolidation in horizontal and vertical directions. Removable attachments are used for assembling the expandable jacket and flexible ring during the test. A calibration device is used to determine the modulus of elasticity of the membrane and expandable jacket and flexible ring.
