Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a system and method of determining muscle efficiency and inefficiency in a patient or subject and being able to quantitatively determine measurements that communicate between practitioners the condition, the health, and the efficiency state of any muscle. The efficiency of a muscle is defined by the ability of the brain to bridge a proper communication to the muscle by sending normal action potentials; the bridge is often compromised during injury, improper training, or from poor habits of bodily movement. The standardization of these efficiencies allows for the isolation of particular areas of the muscles that are inefficient and efficient. Further, with varied application of specific electrical pulses, a bridge that mimics the natural action potential is provided and can enhance muscle efficiency in a way that achieves higher levels of success in bodily healing and physical training than in any prior art.

Abstract: The system, products, and methods disclosed herein relate to an improved configuration for geographically dispersed data restart (“GDDR”) systems. Specifically, the teachings herein ensure a particular GDDR instance does not react to messages issued from address spaces outside of its affinity group. We use the term message “affinity group” to mean the combination of a particular GDDR instance and its set of Mainframe Enablers started tasks. By ensuring that the particular GDDR instance does not react to messages intended for recipients outside of its affinity group, we improve computer functionality and efficiency by facilitating further partitioning of the logical partition. Once the logical partition is further partitioned into additional address spaces, it is possible to run Mainframe Enablers and/or additional GDDR instances independent of the particular GDDR instance of concern.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for hardware-based read sample averaging in a data storage device. In one example, a read channel circuit including a buffer memory is configured to receive a read instruction to read a selected sector, obtain detected sample values for the selected sector, and determine whether the read instruction corresponds to a re-read operation for the selected sector based on determining whether there are stored samples for the selected sector already stored to a locked buffer entry of the buffer memory. When there are stored sample values stored to the locked buffer entry, the example read channel circuit determines the re-read operation is occurring, and performs read sample averaging based on the detected sample values and the stored sample values to produce averaged sample values. Other examples and configurations are also described.
