  • Publication number: 20230266950
    Abstract: A method for fusing functions of a software program is provided. The method includes processing an intermediate representation (IR) of the software program and determining one or more function call candidates capable of fusion based on the processed IR. The method further includes determining similarities between the function call candidates and generating a merged function of the function call candidates based on the determined similarities. The method further includes generating at least one interleaved version of the merged function and determining an optimized function version from among the merged function and the at least one interleaved version. The method further includes generating a fused function based on the determined optimized function version.

  • Patent number: 6855112
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of and a system for treating a health condition of a user. The method includes determining a sensory signal for use to treat the user's health condition, measuring the change to the sensory signal while the user is engaging in an activity, and using the sensory signal change to regulate the user's activity to thereby treat the user's health condition. The system has a sensor device for measuring a sensory signal of the user while the user is engaging in an activity and a display device receiving the sensory signal measured by the sensor device and displaying the sensory signal. The change to the sensory signal is used to regulate the user's activity to thereby treat the user's health condition.

  • Publication number: 20030143647
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of priming T cells against tumor antigens comprising by obtaining naïve CD4+ or CD8+ T cells from at least one healthy individual, obtaining at least one protein or peptide from at least one cancerous cell; obtaining antigen presenting cells (APCs), culturing the APCs with the at least one protein or peptide, and adding the T cells to the culture of the APCs. The primed T cells can then be employed to identify the antigens or therapeutically as prophylaxis or treatment for cancers.

  • Patent number: 6375622
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a writing brush or instrument that can be used to enhance general health and render therapeutic effects in treating behaviourial, psychological, mental and psychosomatic disorders. The writing instrument has one or more biological detectors embedded in or attached to the shaft of the writing brush or instrument. The biological detectors record the biological activities of the user that are associated with the user's sensory, perceptual, emotional, cognitive and physiological conditions during writing or drawing. Sensory signals from the detectors can provide ongoing information of the user's graphonomic act and thus enable the user to control and regulate his or her bodily conditions throughout the writing process by influencing the changes in the sensory signals. The present invention is capable of improving the user's general health as well as providing therapeutic treatment for users with physical or mental disorders.
