Publication number: 20240111578Abstract: A method for hierarchical work scheduling includes consuming a work item at a first scheduling domain having a local scheduler circuit and one or more workgroup processing elements. Consuming the work item produces a set of new work items. Subsequently, the local scheduler circuit distributes at least one new work item of the set of new work items to be executed locally at the first scheduling domain. If the local scheduler circuit of the first scheduling domain determines that the set of new work items includes one or more work items that would overload the first scheduling domain with work if scheduled for local execution, those work items are distributed to the next higher-level scheduler circuit in a scheduling domain hierarchy for redistribution to one or more other scheduling domains.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Matthaeus G. Chajdas, Christopher J. Brennan, Michael Mantor, Robert W. Martin, Nicolai Haehnle

Patent number: 11941742Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to processor communications fabrics. In some embodiments, a processor includes multiple client circuitry and fabric circuitry that includes at least first and second instances of a tile. The tile may include: client inputs configured to interface with client circuits, tile inputs configured to interface with one or more other tile instances, and communication resources assignable to the client inputs and tile inputs. The communications resources may include: multiple internal links, client outputs configured to interface with client circuits, and tile outputs configured to interface with one or more other tile instances. Control circuitry may, in a given cycle, assign communication resources of a given tile instance to at least a portion of the client inputs and tile inputs for a next cycle, based on priority information. The control circuitry may update priority information based on assignment results over multiple cycles.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Adam J. Smith, Sergio V. Tota, Christopher G. Martin, Yoong Chert Foo, Terence M. Potter, Max J. Batley

Publication number: 20160210880Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of assessing disease susceptibility associated with dietary and lifestyle risk factors. The invention provides for analysis of alleles at loci of genes associated with lifestyle risk factors, and the disease susceptibility profile of an individual is determined by reference to datasets which further match the risk factor with lifestyle recommendations in order to produce a personalized lifestyle advice plan.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2013Publication date: July 21, 2016Applicant: BODYSYNC, INC.Inventors: Rosalynn D. Gill, Christopher J. Martin, Manuel V. Sanchez-Felix

Patent number: 9305362Abstract: A method relating generally to image processing is disclosed. In such a method, an image is preprocessed for noise suppression and edge detection with filters. The image is hierarchically decomposed to provide an image pyramid. The hierarchical decomposition includes successively down-scaling the image to provide different resolutions of the image corresponding to levels of the image pyramid. The image and the different resolutions of the image provide a set of images. A scene analysis of the set of images is performed. The performing of the scene analysis includes determining qualifications of blocks of the set of images for feature tracking. A subset of the blocks determined to be qualified for the feature tracking is selected. Motion estimation is performed on the subset of the blocks. The motion estimation is performed using a hierarchical set of motion estimation engines corresponding to levels of the image pyramid.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: XILINX, INC.Inventors: Gabor Szedo, Christopher J. Martin, Ted N. Booth

Patent number: 5729857Abstract: A snow removal device for rapidly removing large amounts of snow from the top surfaces of an automobile. The snow removal device includes a mitt element that receives a person's hand and a portion of the arm to a point in between the elbow and the shoulder. The mitt element is affixed to the rear surface of a plow structure, wherein the mitt element retains the hand so that the palm of the hand faces the rear surface of the plow structure. The mitt element and the plow structure combine to retain a person's arm in a manner that prevents the arm from bending at the elbow. The plow structure has a substantially planar front surface that displaces snow as it moves across the top surfaces of an automobile. The bottom of the plow structure is configured so that is can conform to the changing contours of the automobile without scratching any finished surface that the plow structure may encounter.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 1996Date of Patent: March 24, 1998Inventors: Patricia S. Martin, Christopher J. Martin

Patent number: 5588910Abstract: A barrel type air outlet is provided for an opening in an instrument panel or other panel or compartment of a vehicle. The air outlet contains two sets of stationary vanes for directing a stream of air. The first set of stationary vanes is oriented parallel to the longitudinal and transverse axes of the barrel and to one another to direct the stream of air in a jet flow pattern. The second set of stationary vanes is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis and nonparallel to the transverse axis and nonparallel to one another to direct the stream of air in a diffuse pattern to avoid direct impingement of the stream of air on the driver or other occupants of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1995Date of Patent: December 31, 1996Assignee: Ford Motor CompanyInventors: Robert J.
