  • Publication number: 20220107795
    Abstract: Systems and methods for executing compiled code having parallel code fragments is provided. One method includes storing executable code having a plurality of parallel code fragments, each of the plurality of parallel code fragments representing alternative executable paths through a code stream. The method further includes determining a code level supported by a processor executable at a computing system, the processor executable supporting a hosted computing environment. The method also includes translating the executable code into machine-readable code executable by a processor of the computing system. Translating the executable code includes selecting a code fragment from among the plurality of parallel code fragments for execution based on the code level supported by the processor executable. The method includes executing the machine-readable code within the hosted computing environment.

  • Patent number: 11279562
    Abstract: A folding-diverter assembly is provided to: selectively divert a substrate-product combination advancing from a first direction in a predetermined path based upon the substrate-product combination weighing a predetermined weight; advance the substrate-product combination in a second direction, opposite from the first direction; and fold a flap of the substrate-product combination partially over a top surface of the substrate-product combination. A semi-circular conveyor assembly is configured to advance the substrate-product combination in the second direction at a first portion of the semi-circular conveyor assembly, and along a semi-circular advancing path such that the substrate-product combination is advanced in the first direction at a second portion of the semi-circular conveyor assembly.

  • Patent number: 11243751
    Abstract: A proxy compiler may be used within a native execution environment to enable execution of non-native instructions from a non-native execution environment as if being performed within the native execution environment. In particular, the proxy compiler coordinates creation of a native executable that is uniquely tied to a particular non-native image at the creation time of the non-native image. This allows a trusted relationship between the native executable and the non-native image, while avoiding a requirement of compilation/translation of the non-native instructions for execution directly within the native execution environment.

  • Publication number: 20220027156
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein utilize a jump table in directly-addressable, near code, to facilitate improved execution of frequent calls to executable code from other workloads outside of the near code. By executing a directly-addressable call and jump instruction to access frequently-accessed executable code, indirect call instructions are avoided.

  • Patent number: 11217328
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for mapping antibody binding to an immunogen, comprising: immunizing a subject with an immunogen and obtaining sera from the immunized subject at multiple time intervals following immunization, wherein the sera comprises antibodies that are used to form one or more immune complexes with the immunogen; isolating the one or more immune complexes formed by the serum derived antibodies bound to the immunogen; imaging, by electron microscopy, the one or more immune complexes in each of the time intervals, to obtain structural images formed between the immunogen and serum antibodies; determining, from the plurality of structural images, immunogen-antibody binding site for each of the immune complexes obtained at the plurality of time intervals; mapping immunogen-antibody binding by measuring differences in structural images obtained at different time intervals to determine immunogen-antibody binding over multiple time intervals.

  • Patent number: 11198900
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions comprising nucleic acid complexes for use in monitoring binding interactions and in measuring association and/or dissociation kinetics, detecting analytes including low concentration analytes, and screening library members. In some instances, the nucleic acid complexes are double-stranded nicked nucleic acids comprising a scaffold nucleic acid hybridized to one or more oligonucleotides. In some instances, a first, a second, a third, and optionally a fourth oligonucleotide are linked to moieties that are known to interact with each other or which are suspected of interacting with each other or of interacting with a common moiety such as an analyte. Changes in topology of the complex are used to determine the binding interactions of the various binding partners.

  • Publication number: 20210357225
    Abstract: A system and method for the dynamic, run-time configuration of logic core register files, and the provision of an associated execution context. The dynamic register tiles as well as the associated execution context information are software-defined so as to be virtually configured in random-access memory. This virtualization of both the processor execution context and register files enables the size, structure and performance to be specified at run-time and tailored to the specific processing, instructions and data associated with a given processor state or thread, thereby minimizing both the aggregate memory required and the context switching time. In addition, the disclosed system and method provides for processor virtualization which further enhances the flexibility and efficiency.
