Abstract: An apparatus, and the method of using it, comprising one, or more, electronic sensors attached to a part(s) of a human or animal's body. The patient then performs an activity, or has an activity performed on them, and the results of the measured parameters are recorded by the sensor and processed, or downloaded and processed. The sensor may include a range of instrumentation, e.g. accelerometers, magnetometers, gyroscopes, force sensors, etc. to record positions (in the X, Y and Z planes), movements, angular movements, forces, stresses in bones/joints, etc. The use of the apparatus and method are appropriate to medical treatments, and perfecting sporting or dancing techniques and the results are processed to give the clinician or coach appropriate information to improve the problem being addressed. Methods for measuring lateral angular movement of hinged joints and spinal extension are taught.

Abstract: Vector add-with-carry instructions are described which use some elements of a destination vector register, or corresponding fields of a predicate register, to provide the carry information corresponding to results of an add-with-carry operation. This is useful for accelerating computations involving multiplications of long integer values.

Abstract: An apparatus 2 has instruction fusing circuitry 50 for fusing two or more instructions fetched from a data store to generate a fused instruction to be processed by processing circuitry 14. A move prefix instruction is provided which indicates to the instruction fusing circuitry 50 that the move prefix instruction can be fused with an immediately following data processing instruction without needing to compare registers specified by the move prefix instruction and the immediately following instruction. This enables the instruction fusing circuitry 50 to be implemented with reduced hardware and energy cost.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to proteins that bind to CD83 and uses thereof, for example, in therapy, prophylaxis, diagnosis or prognosis.

Abstract: Processing circuitry supports a first type of vector arithmetic instruction specifying at least a first input vector. When at least one exceptional condition is detected for an arithmetic operation performed for a first active data element of the first input vector in a predetermined sequence, the processing circuitry performs at least one response action. When the at least one exceptional condition is detected for a given active data element other than the first active data element in the predetermined sequence, the processing circuitry suppresses the at least one response action and stores elements identifying information identifying which data element is the given active data element which triggered the exceptional condition. This can be useful for reducing the amount of hardware resource for tracking the occurrence of the exceptional conditions and/or supporting speculative execution of vector instructions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating lymphoma in a subject, and more particularly, for treating Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of a CD83 binding protein. The invention also relates to methods for diagnosing and assessing lymphoma in a subject.

Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides methods for treating, inhibiting, alleviating or preventing fibrosis in a mammalian subject suffering, or at risk of developing a disease or disorder caused or exacerbated by fibrosis and/or inflammation. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of treating a subject suffering from renal fibrosis. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of reducing proteinuria in a subject suffering from a renal disease or condition associated with proteinuria. The methods comprise the step of administering, to a subject in need thereof, an amount of a MASP-2 inhibitory agent effective to inhibit MASP-2-dependent complement activation.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided, that includes an instruction decoder responsive to an anchored-data processing instruction, to generate one or more control signals. Conversion circuitry is responsive to the one or more control signals to perform a conversion from a data value to an anchored-data select value. The conversion is based on anchor metadata indicative of a given range of significance for the anchored-data select value. Output circuitry is responsive to the one or more control signals, to write the anchored-data select value to a register.

Abstract: A data processing system (2) supports non-speculative execution of vector load instructions that perform at least one contingent load of a data value. Fault detection circuitry (26) serves to detect whether a contingent load is fault-generating contingent load or a fault-free contingent load. Contingent load suppression circuitry (28) detects and suppresses a fault-free contingent load that matches a predetermined criteria that may result in an undesired change of architectural state (undesired side-effect). Examples of such predetermined criteria are that the contingent load is to a non-memory device or that the contingent load will trigger a diagnostic response such as entry of a halting debug halting mode or triggering of a debug exception.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of operating an apparatus are provided. The apparatus is responsive to a bit-testing instruction which specifies a source vector register and an index to perform a bit-testing procedure on plural elements stored in the source vector register to generate plural result bits. The bit-testing procedure comprises, for each processed element of the plural elements, setting a respective result bit of the plural result bits in dependence on a value of a tested bit at a bit position in the processed element of the source vector register indicated by the index. This bit-testing instruction thus enables increased performance of program code which is required to perform multiple bit tests and can be suitably formulated into a vectorised form.

Abstract: An aircraft comprises a weapons bay, the weapons bay comprising a cavity having an opening through which stores may be deployed, and a door assembly for exposing/closing the opening of the cavity. A first store is held in the cavity via a launcher and a first structure is disposed inside the cavity, for controlling the aero-acoustic environment. The first structure for controlling the aero-acoustic environment is removeably mounted in the weapons bay, such that if the first store is exchanged for a second, different, store, the structure for controlling the aero-acoustic environment may be unmounted from the weapons bay and removed, to be exchanged for a second, different, structure for controlling the aero-acoustic environment.

Abstract: A foveated rendering system for modifying content to be displayed includes a user profile obtaining unit operable to obtain a user profile comprising information about head motion and eye motion for a user, and a foveated rendering unit operable to apply a foveated rendering process to the content to be displayed in dependence upon obtained user profile information.

Abstract: First and second types of vector load instruction are provided. For the first type, a response action is performed when an exceptional condition is detected for a load operation performed for a first active data element of at least one vector register, but when the exceptional condition is detected for an active data element other than the first active data element, the response action is suppressed and element identifying information is stored identifying the element which caused the exceptional condition. For the second type, the response action is suppressed and the element identifying information is stored when the exceptional condition arises for any active data element. This approach is useful for allowing loop speculation and loop unrolling to be used together to improve performance of vectorised code.
