  • Publication number: 20240169124
    Abstract: Improvements in a molecular-dynamic simulator provide ways to save energy during computation and reduce die area consumed on an integrated circuit. Examples of such improvements include different interaction modules for different ranges, the use of streaming along rows while multicasting along columns in an array of interaction modules, the selection of computation units based on balancing computational costs and communication costs, the use of fences in networks that connect computation units, and the use of bond calculators to carry out specialized bond calculations.

  • Patent number: 9532903
    Abstract: A system and tool for performing a capsulotomy procedure. The system includes a capsulotomy and movement control unit providing electrical current and movement control, and a capsulotomy tool, and an extendable-retractable burning element coupled to the tool, and a slidable shaping element. A capsulotomy and movement control unit provides electrical current to the burning element and movement control for extending and retracting the burning element. When the burning element is in a flattened, retracted configuration, the tip of the tool can be inserted through a relatively small corneal incision. Then, the burning element is opened to a full circular, extended configuration, by pressing the shaping element against both joints of the bands, allowing a capsulotomy by applying an electrical pulse to the burning element.
