  • Publication number: 20240216756
    Abstract: A golfing analysis system capable of tracking and analyzing golf ball, golf club, and/or golf swing operations by sensing different types of motion in parallel and combining separate readings to provide highly accurate golfing data and simulations, regardless of the user's operating environment or sporting equipment. In one embodiment, the system comprises a motion measuring device disposed on an operator or operator's equipment, a speed measuring device disposed at a distance from the operator and the motion measuring device, and an external application. The motion measuring device comprises an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a microprocessor, and a communications unit and the speed measuring device comprises a radar sensor, a camera sensor, a remote GPS sensor, and a display unit.

  • Patent number: 11807838
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for adding bitter flavor to beer and other beverages. The present invention concerns the use of compositions comprising compounds that are present in hop extracts or in beer and result from natural processes that occur during processing or storage (aging) of hops or beer. The present invention further concerns the use of suitable amounts of a composition comprising humulinones for adding bitter flavor to beer and other beverages.

  • Patent number: 7549035
    Abstract: A method for propagating reference and modification bit values into a translation table. The method includes issuing a write instruction including a virtual address, translating the virtual address to a corresponding physical address in a corresponding entry in a TLB, writing data to the corresponding physical address, setting at least one of a reference bit value or a modification bit value in the corresponding entry in the TLB, analyzing the TLB to identify any set reference bit values and set modification bit values, updating a corresponding entry in a translation table for each one of the identified set reference bit values and the identified set modification bit values and resetting the identified set reference bit values and the identified set modification bit values in the TLB.

  • Patent number: 7546439
    Abstract: A method of identifying a shared main memory page containing a physical address corresponding to a virtual address included in an issued write instruction. The method includes determining the selected virtual address is not within a reach of a TLB entry that is currently loaded in the TLB. If one of the BBR entries includes the selected virtual address, then identifying one of the BBR entries that includes the selected virtual address, calculating a new TLB entry that includes the selected virtual address and loading the new TLB entry in the TLB.

  • Patent number: 7472253
    Abstract: A computer system comprising a main memory and a processor die coupled to the main memory by a first bus. The processor die includes a processor core coupled to a first cache memory and multiple base and bounds registers (BBRS). Each of BBRs have a base virtual address field, an ending virtual address field and a base physical address field. The first cache memory has a table lookaside buffer (TLB) entry stored therein.
