Abstract: Embodiments relate to loading data in a pipelined microprocessor. An aspect includes issuing a load request that comprises a load address requiring at least one block of data the same size as a largest contiguous granularity of data returned from a cache. Another aspect includes determining that the load address matches at least one block address. Another aspect includes, based on determining that there is an address match, reading a data block from a buffer register and sending the data to satisfy the load request; comparing a unique set id of the data block to the set id of the matching address after sending the data block; based on determining that there is a set id match, continuing the load request, or, based on determining that there is not a set id match, setting a store-forwarding state of the matching address to no store-forwarding and rejecting the load request.

Abstract: A three dimensional (3D) stereoscopic display system using large format light emitting diodes (LEDs) for displaying 3D image content. The apparatus comprises a grid of LEDs covered by two sheets of polarizing material, a first sheet of polarizing material for polarizing a first subset of the LEDs to form a first view of the 3D image, and a second sheet of polarizing material for polarizing the second subset of LEDs to form a second view of the 3D image. The sheets may be formed by cutting a plurality of openings substantially aligned with a corresponding subset of LEDs. For improved viewing, the apparatus may further comprise a rear diffuser, disposed between the LED display and the first sheet of polarizing material. Also for improved viewing, the apparatus may further comprise a front diffuser, disposed in front of the second sheet of polarizing material, for reducing glare from external light sources.

Abstract: A wireless resonant micro-actuator for untethered micro-robots. The wireless resonant micro-actuator includes at least two magnetic bodies that are resiliently connected to one another by a resilient member to form a spring-mass system. A magnetic field generator generates a pulsating or oscillating external magnetic field that creates a magnetic force between the at least two magnetic bodies. The at least two magnetic bodies are capable of being mechanically oscillated to resonance with respect to one another. A converter converts the oscillatory motion of the at least two magnetic bodies to create useful motion.

Abstract: A magnetic manipulation and navigation system for moving a magnetic element through a body comprising at least six electromagnets fixed in relation to said body and a control unit supplying the current for the electromagnets. The electromagnets have soft magnetic cores and the current supplied by the control unit to each of the electromagnets is adapted to operate the electromagnetic coils of each of the electromagnets in their core's linear regions being delimited by the value of the flux density of each electromagnet being in an interval between the negative and positive saturation value of each electromagnet, the lower representation showing the deviation due to the use of soft magnetic cores in all electromagnets.

Abstract: Primary colors red, green and blue are each transmitted in three adjacent frequencies to create stereoscopic 3D images. A true center frequency for each primary color is transmitted to one eye while two straddling frequencies, on either side of the center frequency, are transmitted to the other eye. Untinted, notch filtered stereoscopic 3D eyeglasses may be used to segregate light frequencies and direct one channel to each eye of the viewer. A new dual channel laser illumination projection engine may be used to homogenize, condense, combine, and polarize light from red, blue and green lasers to create stereoscopic images suitable for projection on either white of sliver screens.

Abstract: A technique for encoding a three dimensional image formatted according to a three dimensional format is disclosed. The technique employs a surface or surfaces for encoding a three dimensional image to create a left view image and a right view image. The surface or surfaces may include an arrangement of encoding stripes, black ink stripes, and transparent stripes. The stripes may be arranged in a vertical, horizontal, or checkerboard pattern. The black ink stripes may be further arranged in a manner that corrects an angular viewing error. The encoded right view and left view images are decoded by a left lens and a right lens, respectively, of a pair of polarized 3D viewing glasses worn by a viewer.

Abstract: Multiple sets of view channels originate from multiple projected views modulated through an optic assembly comprising a Fresnel lens, a vertical dispersion lenticular lens, and a diffuser. Compact projection enclosures are formed using image-repeating mirrors to create a three-dimensional autostereoscopic viewing experience in free space without the use of special eyeglasses and without the use of view screens. Multiple sets of images are repeated within a viewing zone that may extend well beyond the confines of the enclosure and may be projected through and beyond a glass window. An observer walking past the window will see one view channel per eye, due in part to the repeated images, and due in part to the vertical dispersion of each projected view. Separate images for each view channel may be created by using two or more cameras spaced apart at a distance interval to match the average horizontal distance between the eyes of a human observer.

The actuation method comprises exciting two or more magnetic bodies with an oscillating magnetic field such that they perform mechanical oscillations, and harnessing this energy for propulsion of the device or to fulfill other tasks.
