Abstract: A Lock register can be associated with a mailbox. The Lock register can store a claim ID of a process that has allocated the mailbox. The Lock register can include a Lock port and a Lock Clear port, used to claim and release the Lock register. The Lock register only permits data to be written to the Lock Register when the Lock register is not currently allocated, and the Lock Clear port only permits the process that has allocated the Lock register to write a value.

Abstract: A system and method of delivering a radiation therapy treatment plan to a patient. The treatment plan is delivered using a radiation therapy system including a moveable support for supporting a patient, a gantry moveable relative to the support and supporting a radiation source and multi-leaf collimator for modulating the radiation source. The support and gantry are moved during delivery of the treatment plan.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a system and method for computing a partial parity error correcting code. Check bits are computed from subsets of the data bits and stored. When the data bits are read, the check bits can be recomputed from the read data bits and compared with the stored check bits to generate a syndrome value. The syndrome value can identify which data bits and/or check bits are in error and correct for the errors.

Abstract: Embodiments of the inventive concept include a system and method for correcting multi-bit errors. A data vector and corresponding check vector can be stored. Error correcting circuitry can be used to identify which bits in the data vector, if any, are in error. Using information from a fault information storage, a correction vector can also be applied to the data vector to generate an alternate data vector. Error correcting circuitry can be used to identify which bits in the alternate data vector, if any, are in error. A final data vector can then be generated based on the data vector, the alternate data vector, and the results of the error correcting circuitries, which can then be returned as the read data vector.

Abstract: According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a data word storage, and an error correction code generator. The data word storage may be configured to store a word of data, parity bits, and a partial word flag. The partial write flag may be configured to indicate whether a previous write operation was a full write or a partial write to the word of data. The ECC generator may be configured to dynamically generate an ECC during a write operation. If the write operation includes a full write to the word of data, the ECC generator may be configured to generate a first ECC based, at least in part, upon the word of data, the plurality of parity bits, and the partial word flag. If the write operation includes a partial write to the word of data, the ECC generator may be configured to generate a second ECC.

Abstract: A system for and method of delivering radiation therapy to a moving region of interest is disclosed. The method, in one implementation, includes the acts of generating a plurality of treatment plans for providing radiation therapy, delivering radiation therapy to the patient following one of the plurality of treatment plans, monitoring the patient while providing radiation therapy, and changing the treatment plan based at least in part on monitoring the patient.

Abstract: A method of contoured-anatomy dose repositioning (CADR) as a means to automatically reposition a patient to better recover the planned dose distribution without reoptimizinq the treatment plan. CADR utilizes planning CT images, the planned dose distribution, and on-line images for repositioning dose distribution on a given day. Contours are also placed upon the images using manual, automatic, template-based, or other techniques. CADR then optimizes the rigid-body repositioning of the patient so that the daily dose distribution closely matches the planned dose distribution.

Abstract: A radiation therapy treatment system and method of treating a patient with radiation. The system integrates positioning of the patient, treatment planning, and delivery of the plan. As a result of the integration of imaging capabilities into the treatment apparatus, and efficient processes for contouring and planning, a patient can be treated in approximately 20 minutes or less. The method includes acquiring image data from the patient, defining a target region with one or more predefined shapes, generating a treatment plan based on the defined target region, and delivering radiation to the target region.

Abstract: A rapid method and apparatus for remapping the type of service (TOS) and source address information from an incoming communications packet according to the desired Quality of Service (QoS) required for the communications flow into a switch or router are described. The input source address field of the packet header is used to access a lookup table of corresponding source autonomous system (AS) labels. The appropriate AS label is combined with the input TOS yielding an intra-switch TOS optimized for the QoS appropriate to the received flow. Alternatively, the netID, a subset of the source address, may be used directly without resort to a lookup table. As a further alternative, the destination address may be used in conjunction with the above. The resulting intra-switch TOS expedites packet management and throughput in the switch/router, facilitating the efficient delivery of the required Quality of Service for that flow.
