Abstract: A method, device and system for organizing media content on a computer-based system to form a playlist, wherein the device has access to a database with a plurality of music tracks and associated feature vectors including feature values representing different semantic characteristics of a music track, as well as metadata including at least one type of metadata record representing associated information about the respective music track. The playlist is determined based on a query from the client device that includes an input vector, and at least one input metadata record, using an additional similarity matrix representing a measure of similarity between different metadata records of the same type.

Abstract: A medical device system is disclosed including a high-density arrangement of transducers, which may be configured to ablate, stimulate, or sense characteristics of tissue inside a bodily cavity, such as an intra-cardiac cavity. High-density arrangements of transducers may be achieved, at least in part, by overlapping elongate members on which the transducers are located, and varying sizes, shapes, or both of the transducers, especially in view of the overlapping of the elongate members. Also, the high-density arrangements of transducers may be achieved, at least in part, by including one or more recessed portions in an elongate member in order to expose one or more transducers on an underlying elongate member in a region adjacent an elongate-member-overlap region.

Abstract: A thermal enclosure for a computer having a processor and a display is disclosed and may include an inner case. The thermal enclosure may further include a heat sink attached to the inner case and thermally connected to the processor. The heat sink may have an outer heat dissipation channel. The thermal enclosure may also include an outer housing that at least partially the envelops the inner case. The outer housing may have a rear housing portion and a front housing portion. The rear housing portion, the front housing portion, and the outer heat dissipation channel may define a heat dissipation opening that may have an overall width, W, and an overall depth, D, the outer heat dissipation channel may be recessed within the heat dissipation opening and W and D may be adapted to prevent a human finger from coming into contact with the outer heat dissipation channel.

Abstract: A monitor mount is configured to detachably secure a first monitor and/or a second monitor individually or concurrently. The first monitor is further configured to be detachably secured to the second monitor independently from either monitor being secured to the monitor mount. The second monitor includes a mounting area in which the first monitor is mounted, and the first monitor and the second monitor are configured such that the first monitor is interchangeably insertable into the mounting area from a first lateral direction and a second lateral direction that is opposite to the first lateral direction. Accordingly, the second monitor includes a dual-entry feature that enables the first monitor to be inserted from either lateral side of the second monitor.

Abstract: An improved DMAC translation mechanism is presented. DMA commands are “unrolled” based upon the transfer size of the DMA command and the amount of data that a computer system transfers at one time. For the first DMA request, a DMA queue requests a memory management unit to perform an address translation. The DMA queue receives a real page number from the MMU and, on subsequent rollout requests, the DMA queue provides the real page number to a bus interface unit without accessing the MMU until the transfer crosses into the next page. Rollout logic decrements the DMA command's transfer size after each DMA request, determines whether a new page has been reached, determines if the DMA command is completed, and sends write back information to the DMA queue for subsequent DMA requests.
