Publication number: 20240126552Abstract: Processor-guided execution of offloaded instructions using fixed function operations is disclosed. Instructions designated for remote execution by a target device are received by a processor. Each instruction includes, as an operand, a target register in the target device. The target register may be an architected virtual register. For each of the plurality of instructions, the processor transmits an offload request in the order that the instructions are received. The offload request includes the instruction designated for remote execution. The target device may be, for example, a processing-in-memory device or an accelerator coupled to a memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: JOHN KALAMATIANOS, MICHAEL T.

Patent number: 8480357Abstract: A variable geometry turbocharger assembly comprises a unison ring which rotates about a longitudinal axis defined by a shaft on which a turbine wheel and compressor wheel are attached in order to pivot a plurality of vanes and thereby control a flow of exhaust gas to the turbine wheel. The unison ring rotates on at least one guide pin which is secured to the turbocharger. The guide pins may be press-fit into apertures in a center housing at an outer pilot surface. In other embodiments the guide pins may be press-fit into a different part of the turbocharger such as a nozzle ring. The guide pins may each have a wear surface which defines a circumferential radius of curvature which is substantially equal to a circumferential radius of curvature of a radially inner surface of the unison ring.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2009Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Kolja Nikolic, Michael Moyer, George Adeff, Kevin Slupski, Matthew Oakes, Dennis L.

Publication number: 20080042076Abstract: A radiation treatment system (100) for accurately delivering radiation to a targeted site within a cancer patient (108) that includes a modular patient support system and a patient positioner (114). The modular patient support system includes a modularly expandable patient pod (200) and at least one immobilization device, such as, for example, a rigid moldable foam cradle (350). The patient pod (200) includes a generally hemi-cylindrical support shell (212) that extends longitudinally between proximal edge (214) and distal edge (216), and transversely between two lateral edges (222, 224). In one embodiment, the lateral edges (222, 224) are tapered to minimize edge effects that result when radiation beams traverse the lateral edges (222, 224).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2007Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicant: Loma Linda University Medical CenterInventors: Daniel Miller, Steve McAllaster, Jerry Slater, Nickolas Rigney, Daniel Anderson, Michael Moyers

Publication number: 20070164230Abstract: A patient alignment system for a radiation therapy system. The alignment system includes multiple external measurement devices which obtain position measurements of components of the radiation therapy system which are movable and/or are subject to flex or other positional variations. The alignment system employs the external measurements to provide corrective positioning feedback to more precisely register the patient and align them with a radiation beam. The alignment system can be provided as an integral part of a radiation therapy system or can be added as an upgrade to existing radiation therapy systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2007Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: Nickolas Rigney, Daniel Anderson, David Lesyna, Daniel Miller, Michael Moyers, Chieh Cheng, Michael Baumann

Publication number: 20070039621Abstract: Support devices and pods for the head and neck region of patients undergoing radiation therapy are provided herein. The pod generally includes a support shell shaped to generally conform to the shape of the head and neck region of the patient, a foam insert that conforms to the head and neck region of the patient, and an immobilization facemask attached directly to the shell, thereby facilitating close placement of the radiation beam delivery device to the patient and reducing any attenuation and perturbation of radiation doses directed at the patient. The components of the pod are made from materials having properties that reduce any attenuation and perturbation of prescribed radiation doses.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2006Publication date: February 22, 2007Inventor: Michael Moyers

Publication number: 20060215819Abstract: A device 10 for aligning a patient for delivering a plurality of radiation beams comprising a patient support surface 12, a coarse alignment subsystem 14 connected to the patient support surface, and a fine alignment subsystem connected to the patient support surface 16. A method of aligning a patient for delivering a plurality of radiation beams from a plurality of device positions comprising compensating for flexion of a radiation beam delivery device within a gantry during movement of the radiation beam delivery device from a first device position to a second device position by using a set of predetermined data describing the flexion behavior of the radiation beam delivery device so that the target tissue within the patient is placed at the beamline center for the radiation beam delivery device at the second device position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: September 28, 2006Inventor: Michael Moyers

Path planning and collision avoidance for movement of instruments in a radiation therapy environment
Publication number: 20050281374Abstract: A patient positioning system for use with a radiation therapy system that monitors the location of fixed and movable components and pre-plans movement of the movable components so as to inhibit movement if a collision would be indicated. The positioning system can also coordinate movement of multiple movable components for reduced overall latency in registering a patient. The positioning system includes external measurement devices which measure the location and orientation of objects, including components of the radiation therapy system, in space and can also monitor for intrusion into the active area of the therapy system by personnel or foreign objects to improve operational safety of the radiation therapy system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2004Publication date: December 22, 2005Inventors: Chieh Cheng, David Lesyna, Michael Moyers -
Patent number: 6971377Abstract: An EGR cooler comprises a cooling core having a plurality of passages for accommodating the flow of exhaust gas therethrough, an exhaust gas inlet chamber connected to the cooling core, for receiving exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine and passing the exhaust gas to the cooling core, and an exhaust gas outlet chamber separate from the exhaust gas inlet chamber and connected to the cooling core for receiving exhaust gas from the core. The cooler further includes means for permitting the controlled passage of exhaust gas from the exhaust gas inlet chamber to the exhaust gas outlet chamber without passing through the cooling core, said means being positioned upstream from the exhaust gas outlet chamber. Configured in this manner, the EGR cooler permits the mixing of cooled exhaust gas with uncooled exhaust to provide a desired exiting gas temperature that is below an exhaust gas dew point.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2003Date of Patent: December 6, 2005Assignee: Honeywell International, Inc.Inventors: Michael A.
