Abstract: A system for content upsampling comprises a console and a head-mounted display (HMD). The console can select content for presentation and provide the content at a first frame rate. The HMD outputs fast calibration data comprising one or more intermediate estimated positions of a reference point on the HMD. The HMD estimates future positions of the HMD using the fast calibration data, and generates synthetic frames using frames from the content and the future positions of the HMD. The HMD then upsamples the content from the first frame rate to a second frame using the synthetic frames to generate augmented content, wherein the second frame rate is faster than the first frame rate. The HMD presents the augmented content at the second frame rate via an electronic display.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating concurrent forecasting associating with multiple time series data sets. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, a request to perform a predictive analysis in association with multiple time series data sets is received. Thereafter, the request is parsed to identify each of the time series data sets to use in predictive analysis. For each time series data set, an object is initiated to perform the predictive analysis for the corresponding time series data set. Generally, the predictive analysis predicts expected outcomes based on the corresponding time series data set. Each object is concurrently executed to generate expected outcomes associated with the corresponding time series data set, and the expected outcomes associated with each of the corresponding time series data sets are provided for display.

Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for delivering implants that include multiple coupled anchors. The anchors are secured to tissue using a multi-opening guide tunnel that is configured to releasably retain one or more portions of the implant located between two of the anchors. The releasable retention of one or more intervening portions of the implant maintains the position of the implant and the guide tunnel until the implant is secured to the tissue. The multi-opening guide tunnel permits securement of the multiple anchors without requiring repositioning of the guide tunnel for each anchor.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus and methods for performing memory read operations. One example method generally includes precharging a plurality of memory columns during a precharging phase of a read access cycle. The method also includes sensing first data stored in a first memory cell of a first memory column of the plurality of memory columns during a memory read phase of the read access cycle, and sensing second data stored in a second memory cell of a second memory column of the plurality of memory columns during the same memory read phase of the read access cycle.

Abstract: Multi-pump memory system access circuits for sequentially executing parallel memory operations in a memory system are disclosed. A memory system includes a plurality of memory bit cells in a memory array. Each memory bit cell is accessible at a corresponding memory address used by memory read and write operations. The memory system includes ports at which a memory read or a memory write operation is received from a processor in each cycle of a processor clock. To increase memory bandwidth of the memory system without increasing the number of access ports of the memory array within the memory system, a double-pump memory system access circuit double-pumps (i.e., time-multiplexes) the access ports of memory array, effectively doubling the number of ports of the memory array. The double-pump memory system access circuit performs sequential accesses to a port of a memory cell in a memory array within a processor clock period.

Abstract: Read-assist circuits for memory bit cells employing a P-type Field-Effect Transistor (PFET) read port(s) are disclosed. Related memory systems and methods are also disclosed. It has been observed that as node technology is scaled down in size, PFET drive current (i.e., drive strength) exceeds N-type FET (NFET) drive current for like-dimensioned FETs. In this regard, in one aspect, it is desired to provide memory bit cells having PFET read ports, as opposed to NFET read ports, to increase memory read times to the memory bit cells, and thus improve memory read performance. To mitigate or avoid a read disturb condition that could otherwise occur when reading the memory bit cell, read-assist circuits are provided for memory bit cells having PFET read ports.
