Abstract: On a typical motherboard the processor and memory are separated by a printed circuit data bus that traverses the motherboard. Throughput, or data transfer rate, on the data bus is much lower than the rate at which a modern processor can operate. The difference between the data bus throughput and the processor speed significantly limits the effective processing speed of the computer when the processor is required to process large amounts of data stored in the memory. The processor is forced to wait for data to be transferred to or from the memory, leaving the processor under-utilized. The delays are compounded in a distributed computing system including a number of computers operating in parallel. The present disclosure describes systems, method and apparatus that tend to alleviate delays so that memory access bottlenecks are not compounded within distributed computing systems.

Abstract: A pistoning prevention system (PPS) that will improve catheter associated urinary tract infection rates of an indwelling Foley catheter while maintaining reliability, comfort, & safety. With the PPS incorporated within a Foley catheter during manufacturing it will eliminate the excess stretch along a specific length of a Foley catheter that resides within the patient's urethra. The excessive amount and ease of stretch is responsible for the pistoning action of an indwelling Foley catheter moving in and out of the urethra. This action is responsible for the retrograde movement of bacteria outside the body & into the urethra, bladder, & kidneys increasing preventable infections. With much prevention work globally, the pistoning action of a Foley catheter is now known to be partially or wholly to blame for the attributed $340 million spent in the U.S. on healthcare costs & 13,000 associated deaths making this an immediate global patient safety emergency.
