Abstract: Embodiments include methods, systems and computer readable media configured to execute a first kernel (e.g. compute or graphics kernel) with reduced intermediate state storage resource requirements. These include executing a first and second (e.g. prefetch) kernel on a data-parallel processor, such that the second kernel begins executing before the first kernel. The second kernel performs memory operations that are based upon at least a subset of memory operations in the first kernel.

Abstract: A device comprises a retractable shaft; a shaft biasing spring; and an actuator button. The retractable shaft is biased away from the actuator button by the shaft biasing spring. A magnetic attracting force is created between the retractable shaft and the actuator button upon actuation of the actuator button. Before actuation, a distance between the actuator button and the retractable shaft is great enough that the magnetic attracting force is less than a biasing force of the shaft biasing spring such that the retractable shaft is biased away from the actuator button. Upon actuation, the actuator button is depressed to make the distance between the actuator button and the retractable shaft sufficiently small such that the magnetic attracting force is greater than the biasing force of the shaft biasing spring to allow the retractable shaft to be biased towards the actuator button.

Abstract: Methods of operating a serial data bus divide series of data bits into sequences of one or more bits and encode the sequences as N-level symbols, which are then transmitted at multiple discrete voltage levels. These methods may be utilized to communicate over serial data lines to improve bandwidth and reduce crosstalk and other sources of noise.

Abstract: A method and system for a DRAM having a first bank that includes a first sub-array (SA) and a second SA. The first SA includes a first storage unit coupled to a first row-buffer in a first sub-channel (FSC) and a second storage unit in a second sub-channel (SSC). The second SA includes a third storage unit and a fourth storage unit coupled to a second row-buffer. The first SA is associated with a first row address (RA) and the FSC is associated with a first column address (CA) stored in the FSC. The second SA is associated with a second RA and the SSC is associated with a second CA stored in the SSC. The first and second CAs are used to select portions of data from the first and second row-buffers, respectively, for output to a data bus.

Abstract: A method for treating an aneurysm can include inserting a medical device partially in a first artery and partially in a third artery. The device can be expanded radially outwardly from a first, position to a second position to engage an inner surface of the first artery and an inner surface of the third artery, so as to maintain a fluid pathway through said arteries. Further, the device can be positioned such that, when the device is in the second position, a porous membrane of the device is located at a neck of the aneurysm.

Abstract: An input signal may be classified by computing correlations between feature vectors of the input signal and feature vectors of reference signals, wherein the reference signals correspond to a class. The feature vectors of the input signal and/or the reference signals may be segmented to identify portions of the signals before performing the correlations. Multiple correlations of the segments may be combined to produce a segment score corresponding to a segment. The signal may then be classified using multiple segment scores, for example by comparing a combination of the segment scores to a threshold.

Abstract: An attenuation device inclusive of radio frequency (RF) absorber materials to reduce signal power in transmission systems involved in short range communication systems is described. The attenuation device is placed between a radio transmitter and an antenna in a transmission system. The attenuation device may be coated with protective material, and may have small dimensions such that the organization and dimensions of the transmission system are not significantly modified. The attenuation device reduces the power of a signal to be transmitted to a receiver, and has a good return loss indicative of a relatively low mismatch with the antenna.

Abstract: In certain example embodiments, a system and/or method of guiding transitions between therapy modes in connection with the treatment and/or diagnosis of a patient for a respiratory disorder is/are provided. Respiratory disorder treatment according to a first therapy mode is provided. Input indicating a second therapy mode to be transitioned to following provision of the first therapy mode is received, with the second therapy mode being different from the first therapy mode. At least one default treatment parameter suitable for the second therapy mode is assigned or calculated. Each default treatment parameter of the second therapy mode is presented, with each default treatment parameter being adjustable by an operator during the presenting. Transitioning from the first therapy mode to the second therapy mode is performed by providing respiratory disorder treatment in accordance with the second therapy mode and each default treatment parameter and any adjustments made thereto prior to the transitioning.

Abstract: Features that may be computed from a harmonic signal include a fractional chirp rate, a pitch, and amplitudes of the harmonics. A fractional chirp rate may be estimated, for example, by computing scores corresponding to different fractional chirp rates and selecting a highest score. A first pitch may be computed from a frequency representation that is computed using the estimated fractional chirp rate, for example, by using peak-to-peak distances in the frequency distribution. A second pitch may be computed using the first pitch, and a frequency representation of the signal, for example, by using correlations of portions of the frequency representation. Amplitudes of harmonics of the signal may be determined using the estimated fractional chirp rate and second pitch. Any of the estimated fractional chirp rate, second pitch, and harmonic amplitudes may be used for further processing, such as speech recognition, speaker verification, speaker identification, or signal reconstruction.
