  • Patent number: 11977025
    Abstract: Gas sensors are disclosed having an on-board, low-power data processor that uses multivariable gas classification and/or gas quantitation models to perform on-board data processing to resolve two or more gases in a fluid sample. To reduce computational complexity, the gas sensor utilizes low-power-consumption multivariable data analysis algorithms, inputs from available on-board sensors of ambient conditions, inputs representing contextual data, and/or excitation responses of a gas sensing material to select suitable gas classification and/or gas quantitation models. The data processor can then utilize these gas classification and quantitation models, in combination with measured dielectric responses of a gas sensing material of the gas sensor, to determine classifications and/or concentrations of two or more gases in a fluid sample, while consuming substantially less power than would be consumed if a global comprehensive model were used instead.

  • Patent number: 11947454
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for controlling cache allocations in a configurable combined private and shared cache in a processor-based system. The processor-based system is configured to receive a cache allocation request to allocate a line in a share cache structure, which may further include a client identification (ID). The cache allocation request and the client ID can be compared to a sub-non-uniform memory access (NUMA) (sub-NUMA) bit mask and a client allocation bit mask to generate a cache allocation vector. The sub-NUMA bit mask may have been programmed to indicate that processing cores associated with a sub-NUMA region are available, whereas processing cores associated with other sub-NUMA regions are not available, and the client allocation bit mask may have been programmed to indicate that processing cores are available.

  • Publication number: 20200060362
    Abstract: A hand immobilizing dexterity trainer glove for improving non-dominant hand dexterity includes a glove body having a dorsal side, a ventral side, a thumb side, and a pinky side. The glove body has a wrist aperture, a finger aperture, and a hand cavity extending from the wrist aperture to the finger aperture. The glove body is configured to receive a dominant hand of a user and extend from below a wrist to past a second knuckle of each finger of the user while covering a thumb of the user entirely within the hand cavity. A wrist tightening mechanism is coupled to the glove body proximal the wrist aperture to tighten and alternatively loosen the wrist aperture. A finger tightening mechanism is coupled to the glove body proximal the finger aperture to tighten and alternatively loosen the finger aperture. The hand immobilizing dexterity trainer glove renders the user's dominant hand unusable.
