The DMA system includes a response reassembly circuit configured to reorder read completion data received from a plurality of different hosts in response to the read requests. The DMA system includes a read scheduler circuit configured to schedule conveyance of the read completion data from the response reassembly circuit to the plurality of client circuits. The DMA system includes a data pipeline circuit implementing a plurality of data paths coupled to respective ones of the plurality of client circuits for conveying the read completion data as scheduled by the read scheduler circuit.

Abstract: Keypoint extraction is done for extracting keypoints from images of documents. Based on different keypoint extraction approaches used by existing keypoint extraction mechanisms, number of keypoints extracted and related parameters vary. Disclosed herein is a method and system for keypoint extraction from images of one or more documents. In this method, a reference image and a test image of a document are collected as input. During the keypoint extraction, based on types of characters present in words extracted from the document images, a plurality of words are extracted. Further, all connected components in each of the extracted words are identified. Further, it is decided whether keypoints are to be searched in a first component or in a last component of all the identified connected components, and accordingly searches and extracts at least four of the keypoints from the test image and the corresponding four keypoints from the reference image.

Abstract: A memory circuit is configured for storage of completion queues. Each completion queue can store completion descriptors associated with transfers of data from interrupt source circuits to the memory circuit. A direct memory access circuit provides access to the memory circuit for the interrupt source circuits. An interrupt engine issues interrupt messages for processing the completion descriptors in the completion queues in response to satisfaction of a set of trigger conditions specified in an active interrupt moderation mode. The active interrupt moderation mode is one of multiple available interrupt moderation modes. The interrupt engine bypasses issuing interrupt messages in response to the set of trigger conditions of the active interrupt moderation mode not being satisfied.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods, algorithms, kits and systems for assessing health, diagnosing disease and generating recommendations using SNV markers specific to a cohort. A genetic sample of an individual is assayed using a genotyping assay to identify at least one SNV. The genotyping assay may be a computer analysis using a database, a nucleic acid microarray assay or a PCR assay. The identified SNV can be compared with a database of SNV markers to identify a plurality of risk SNVs, which are associated with a disease state or pathological condition, including pharmacological sensitivity or resistance. A genetic risk factor (GRF) may be calculated using a weighted score. The GRF is used to determine the risk level associated with the disease. A matrix may be generated using the genetic profile and recommendations specific to cohort and physiologic data. The user is allowed to input physiologic and genomic data, which is compared to the matrix to generate recommendations.

Abstract: A method for estimating the relative impact of two or more patent portfolios belonging to one or more companies is disclosed. Each patent of a patent portfolio is categorized into at least one market segment. A Technological Strength Index (TSI) is computed for each patent based on patent citations. An Economic Impact Index (EII) value is computed for each market segment based on the market size and market growth rate of the market segment, and the market share of the company in each market segment. A Company Innovation Efficiency Index (CIEI) value is computed for the patent portfolio based on the R&D expenditure of the company and the number of patents granted to the company. TSI and EII values of patents in a patent portfolio, and the CIEI value of the patent portfolio are used to compute an Overall Index for the patent portfolio. A similar exercise is carried out for all the portfolios being analyzed. The Overall Index provides a relative measure of the impact of the patent portfolios.
