Patent number: 7973667Abstract: The present invention relates to a wetness detector system that rapidly detects the presence of wetness due to a liquid leak in a system. The wetness detector system contains a reusable wetness sensor that is able to accurately detect the presence of wetness and, in the case of an extracorporeal blood treatment, the presence of blood. The wetness detector system can quickly alert both a user and medical personnel that a liquid leak has been detected in a treatment system and, if necessary, halt the removal of liquids and/or blood from the patient. If a liquid leak is not detected for a period of time, the wetness sensor can enter a low power state, extending the life of the device. The wetness detector system can monitor a number of wetness sensors simultaneously, which would, for example, eliminate the need for medical personnel to continuously inspect numerous patients visually for potentially fatal blood leaks due to needle dislodgement during an extracorporeal blood treatment.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2009Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Martin Crnkovich, Peter Christensen, Roland Levin

Patent number: 7290261Abstract: A circuit and method provide rename register reallocation for simultaneous multi-threaded (SMT) processors that redistributes rename (mapped) resources between one thread during single-threaded (ST) execution and multiple threads during multi-threaded execution. The processor receives an instruction specifying a transition from a single-threaded to a multi-threaded mode or vice-versa and halts execution of all threads executing on the processor. The internal control logic then signals the resources to reallocate the resources. Rename resources are reallocated by directing an action at the rename mapper. When switching from SMT to ST mode, the mapper is directed to drop entries for the dying thread, but on a switch from ST to SMT mode, “dummy” instruction group dispatch indications are sent to the mapper that indicate use of all architected registers for each thread.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2003Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: William Elton Burky, Bjorn Peter Christensen, Dung Quoc Nguyen, David A.
