  • Patent number: 11957894
    Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

  • Patent number: 11960340
    Abstract: A method for controlling a data processing system includes detecting a droop in a power supply voltage of a functional circuit of the data processing system greater than a programmable droop threshold. An operation of the data processing system is throttled according to a programmable step size, a programmable assertion time, and a programmable de-assertion time in response to detecting the droop.

  • Patent number: 11932979
    Abstract: A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry items according to an automatic cycle of operation can include a cabinet defining an interior and having an access opening providing access to the interior. A tub can be located within the interior and can at least partially define a liquid chamber. A drum is rotatably mounted within the liquid chamber and at least partially defines a treating chamber. A clothes mover is located within the treating chamber and rotatable about a vertical axis. The clothes mover can include a base and a barrel.

  • Patent number: 11742043
    Abstract: A method for performing read training of a memory channel includes writing a data pattern to a memory using a data bus having a predetermined number of bit lanes. An edge of a read data eye is determined individually for each bit lane by reading the data pattern over the data bus using a read bust cycle having a predetermined length, grouping data received on each bit lane over the read burst cycle to form a bit lane data group, and comparing the bit lane data group to corresponding expected data of the data pattern for each bit lane, logging a phase of each bit lane on which said edge is found, and repeating the reading, grouping, comparing, and logging until the edge is found for all of the bit lanes.

  • Publication number: 20230102680
    Abstract: A memory controller includes a command queue with multiple entry stacks, each with a plurality of entries holding memory access commands, one or more parameter indicators each holding a respective characteristic common to the plurality of entries, and a head indicator designating a current entry for arbitration. An arbiter has a single command input for each entry stack. A command queue loader circuit receives incoming memory access commands and loads entries of respective entry stacks with memory access commands having the respective characteristic of each of the one or more parameter indicators in common.

  • Patent number: 4838310
    Abstract: An impeller is positioned within the flow of a fluid to be used to irrigate an area. The impeller drives a generator, which operates to charge and sustain a storage battery. The battery powers a receiver having an identification code by which the receiver may be addressed to receive commands, such as, for example, to open or close a valve, thereby providing fluid to irrigate an area. By opening the valve, the fluid flow is increased, and more power is generated and stored in the battery. In this way, power is generated automatically for the receiver, which, in turn, controls the fluid flow for irrigation.
