Abstract: An embodiment of a method for assessing cardiovascular disease in a user with a body region using a mobile computing device including a camera module, includes receiving a time series of image data of a body region of the user, the time series of image data captured during a time period; generating a photoplethysmogram dataset from the time series of image data; generating a processed PPG dataset; determining a cardiovascular parameter value of the user based on the processed PPG dataset; fitting a chronobiological model to (1) the cardiovascular parameter value, and (2) a subsequent cardiovascular parameter value, characterizing a cardiovascular parameter variation over time of the user based on the fitted chronobiological model; and presenting an analysis of the cardiovascular parameter variation to the user at the mobile computing device.

Abstract: Example systems and methods of identifying customer insights are described. In one implementation, a method generates seed data associated with a likely advertisement audience, and generates sets of interests and demographic clusters based on the seed data. An advertisement campaign is launched based on the sets of interests and the demographic clusters. The demographic clusters are divided into smaller clusters based on advertisement campaign results. The method then identifies interests associated with individuals engaging with specific advertisements.

Abstract: Analysis of user communication is described. In one aspect, multiple online social interactions are identified. Multiple topics are extracted from those online social interactions. Based on the extracted topics, the system determines an intent associated with a particular online social interaction.

Abstract: A processor within a wireless terminal performs data compression, decompression and error correction according to a data compression protocol such as the V.42bis data compression protocol used within GSM wireless networks. This processor includes an interface that receives incoming information or data to be compressed or decompressed according to the data compression protocol. A processing module within the processor is operably coupled to the interface to receive and process the incoming information. Instructions executed within the processing module will divide the processing responsibilities between the processing module and a data compression/decompression accelerator operably coupled to the processing module. Compute intensive operations may be offloaded from the processing module onto the data compression/decompression accelerator to improve overall system efficiency.

A programmable delay element is configured to programmably delay signals between a number of multiple context processing elements of an array without requiring a multiple context processing element to implement the delay. The output of a first multiple context processing element is coupled to a first multiplexer and to the input of a number of serially connected delay registers. The output of each of the serially connected registers is coupled to the input of a second multiplexer. The output of the second multiplexer is coupled to the input of the first multiplexer, and the output of the first multiplexer is coupled to a second multiple context processing element. The first and second multiplexers are provided with at least one set of data representative of at least one configuration memory context of a multiple context processing element.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing local control of processing elements in a network of multiple context processing elements (MCPEs). A MCPE stores configuration memory contexts and maintains data of a current configuration. State information is received from at least one other MCPE. A configuration control signal is generated in response to the state information and current configuration data. A MCPE is selected in response to the configuration control signal to control the MCPE. Each MCPE in the networked array has an assigned physical and virtual identification. Data comprising control data, configuration data, an address mask, and a destination identification is transmitted to a MCPE. The transmitted address mask is applied to either a physical or a virtual identification, and to a destination identification. The masked physical or virtual identification is compared to the masked destination identification.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for configuration of multiple context processing elements (MCPEs) are described. According to one aspect of the invention, the structure that joins the MCPE cores into a complete array in one embodiment is actually a set of several mesh-like interconnect structures. Each interconnect structure forms a network, and each network is independent in that it uses different paths, but the networks join at MCPE input switches. The network structure of one embodiment of the present invention is comprised of a local area broadcast network (level 1), a switched interconnect network (level 2), a shared bus network (level 3), and a broadcast network. In one embodiment, the level 3 network is used to carry configuration data for the MCPEs while the broadcast network is used to carry configuration data for the level 3 network drivers and switches. In one embodiment, the level 3 network is bidirectional and dynamically routable.
