  • Patent number: 11954222
    Abstract: A consent block is a type of block that may be stored in a blockchain. Each consent block has an owner and may store an owner consent contract, i.e., a smart contract containing owner-specified access rules that determine who may access data assets that are stored in other blocks of the blockchain and owned by the same owner. The consent block may alternatively store a global consent contract containing global access rules that supersede owner-specified access rules. The consent block also stores a hash value determined from the consent contract and a previous hash value of the block immediately preceding the consent block. The consent contract and the position of the consent block in the blockchain are verifiable from the hash value. Each consent block, once added to the blockchain, becomes part of the immutable record of data stored in the blockchain, and therefore leaves an auditable trail.

  • Patent number: 11928445
    Abstract: A complier produces a configuration file to configure a fracturable data path of a configurable unit in a coarse-grained reconfigurable processor to concurrently generate different address sequences generated using different address associated with different operations. The fracturable data path includes multiple computation stages respectively including a pipeline register. The compiler analyzes a first address calculation and a second address calculation and assigns a first set of stages to the first operation to generate the first address sequence and a second set of stages to the second operation to generate the second address sequence using the second set of stages, based on the analysis. A configuration file for the configurable unit is generated by the compiler that assigns the first set of stages to the first operation and the second set of stages to the second operation and includes two or more immediate values for each computation stage.

  • Patent number: 11928512
    Abstract: A reconfigurable data processor comprises an array of configurable units configurable to allocate a plurality of sets of configurable units in the array to implement respective execution fragments of the data processing operation. Quiesce logic is coupled to configurable units in the array, configurable to respond to a quiesce control signal to quiesce the sets of configurable units in the array on quiesce boundaries of the respective execution fragments, and to forward quiesce ready signals for the respective execution fragments when the corresponding sets of processing units are ready. An array quiesce controller distributes the quiesce control signal to configurable units in the array, and receives quiesce ready signals for the respective execution fragments from the quiesce logic.

  • Publication number: 20240071593
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

  • Patent number: 11870920
    Abstract: Introduced here is a computational architecture (also referred to as a “computational infrastructure”) that addresses the limitations of traditional data management solutions using a highly secure data management solution coupled with consent-based sharing. At a high level, the computational architecture applies blockchain methodologies to both transaction data and business data such that both types of data are stored “on chain” in the same computational architecture. This enables several significant advantages over traditional data management solutions with respect to data security, data ownership, data sharing, and intelligence.
