Abstract: A method (and system) for performing an emulation of an operation of a target computing system, includes interpreting a target instruction, recognizing an unused capacity of a host system when the host system is interpreting the instruction, and performing a translation of the instruction without increasing a time of interpreting the instruction.

Abstract: A monitoring device arranged to display a level of consciousness and hemodynamic parameters of a patient for simultaneous viewing. A dependence of changes in the hemodynamic parameters of the patient on the level of consciousness of the patient may be more easily observed using the monitoring device. Correlations between the patient's level of consciousness and the patient's hemodynamic parameters may further be determined and displayed to aid clinicians in estimating any improvement in hemodynamic parameters that may be achieved through manipulation of the patient's level of consciousness, fluid status and drugs.

Abstract: In an embodiment, asynchronous conflict events are received during a previous rollback period. Each of the asynchronous conflict events represent conflicts encountered by speculative execution of a first plurality of work units and may be received out-of-order. During a current rollback period, a first work unit is determined whose speculative execution raised one of the asynchronous conflict events, and the first work unit is older than all other of the first plurality of work units. A second plurality of work units are determined, whose ages are equal to or older than the first work unit, wherein each of the second plurality of work units are assigned to respective executing threads. Rollbacks of the second plurality of work units are performed. After the rollbacks of the second plurality of work units are performed, speculative executions of the second plurality of work units are initiated in age order, from oldest to youngest.

Abstract: A method (and structure) of mapping a memory addressing of a multiprocessing system when it is emulated using a virtual memory addressing of another multiprocessing system includes accessing a local lookaside table (LLT) on a target processor with a target virtual memory address. Whether there is a “miss” in the LLT is determined and, with the miss determined in the LLT, a lock for a global page table is obtained.

Abstract: A method (and system) for emulating a target system's memory addressing using a virtual-to-real memory mapping mechanism of a host multiprocessor system's operating system, includes inputting a target virtual memory address into a simulated page table to obtain a host virtual memory address. The target system is oblivious to the software it is running on.

Abstract: A connector comprises a body having a passage therethrough for fluid flow and a female portion for receiving by a slip fit a tubular member. Gripping means are placed in the passage in the female portion for gripping the tubular member and is configured for preventing the tubular member from rotating. A retainer retains the gripping means in place and a seal prevents leakage.

Abstract: A hemodynamic monitor and corresponding method for determining the requirement for, and if required the nature or extent of, and for monitoring the response to, an intervention by a carer for a subject in order to improve the hydration level and hemodynamic status of the subject during a period or periods of hemodynamic instability includes, firstly, a processor. The processor incorporates software arranged to continuously analyse and process a blood pressure or arterial volume/plethysmographic signal obtained from the subject in order to derive a plurality of complementary parameters throughout the monitoring of the subject. The monitor also incorporates display means displaying images representing the derived plurality of complementary parameters. The images may include at least one image representing graphically at least one stress related hemodynamic parameter plotted against time to provide an immediate indication of a change in hemodynamic status and thus the requirement for an intervention.

Abstract: By exposing dielectrics to a strong electric field, anisotropic characteristics may be introduced into the dielectric. This may result in the dielectric having different dielectric constants in different directions. As integrated circuits scale, importance of line to line capacitance in one plane increases. Thus, in some embodiments, the dielectric constant of the oriented dielectric may be lower in the plane that controls line to line capacitance.

Abstract: A method of forming self-passivating interconnects. At least one of two mating bond structures is formed, at least in part, from an alloy of a first metal and a second metal (or other element). The second metal is capable of migrating through the first metal to free surfaces of the mating bond structures. During bonding, the two mating bond structures are bonded together to form an interconnect, and the second metal segregates to free surfaces of this interconnect to form a passivation layer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
