Abstract: A fully adjustable hybrid personal cooling and heating system is configured to remove or supply heat from/to a human user. The system is specifically designed to provide up to 8-hours of high efficiency adjustable cooling or heating when worn and operated by a user. The personal cooling and heating system use non-toxic room-temperature liquid metal as primary coolant and phase-change material as secondary coolant. The primary coolant is pumped using an active powered pump which absorbs heat from the user's body, and passively release the heat to the secondary coolant making the invention a hybrid cooling/heating system. Passive heat release is facilitated by extreme high thermal conductivity of the primary coolant. Also, the secondary coolant is thermally insulated from the environment allowing on-demand heat absorption only from the primary coolant.

Each IO module may include buffer circuits, each of which may have a de-emphasis control logic for adjusting buffer drive strength.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically inspecting and validating unstructured documents having natural language text, such as journal article describing clinical research. For example, a journal's prose may be parsed to identify domain-specific entities and values. Domain-specific rules may be evaluated against generated structured data storing the entities and their corresponding values. rule may relate to a domain-specific requirement for the document. Findings may be generated for each evaluated rule, indicating whether the document meets a corresponding requirement. Feedback indicating whether a given finding is incorrect or is to be updated, which may indicate that the corresponding rule should be updated or removed, may be obtained. Based on the feedback, the set of domain-specific rules may be updated to obtain an updated set of rules including an update to or deletion of the rule. Some embodiments include automatically validating documents using voice enabled features.

Abstract: A system for running one or more applications is provided. Each application may require memory services that can be accelerated using configurable memory assistance circuits associated with different levels of a memory hierarchy. Integrated circuit design tools may be used to generate configuration data for programming the configurable memory assistance circuits. During compile time, the design tools may identify memory service patterns in a source code, match the identified memory service patterns to corresponding templates, parameterize the matching templates, and then synthesize the parameterized templates to produce the configuration data. During run time, a memory assistance scheduler may map the memory services required by each application to available memory assistance circuits in the system. The mapped memory assistance circuits are programmed by the configuration data to provide the desired memory service capability.
