Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can construct a map for summarizing analyses with respect to data included in a database. In addition, the architecture can display the map in a special canvas area. Generally, the map is a hub-and-spoke-style map in which a hub is associated with an entity (e.g., a related set of records) included in a database. Likewise, the spokes are typically representative of operations (e.g., filter, join, transform) that act upon the hub/entity from which it extends. The map can aid with open-ended analysis on complex databases by recording and ordering competing hypotheses and can also further collaborative efforts with respect to analysis.

Abstract: Gastric stimulation devices, systems and methods are provided, particularly for stimulating a gastric organ having an internal cavity. Such devices and systems are typically implanted outside of the gastric organ while the environment of the internal cavity is probed and monitored by one or more sensors. The sensor information may be used to affect the stimulation signals provided to the gastric organ by the devices and systems. Such feedback integration assists in providing treatments and stimulation programs that are tailored to the needs of the individual patient.

Abstract: A data path for a SIMD-based microprocessor is used to perform different simultaneous filter sub-operations in parallel data lanes of the SIMD-based microprocessor. Filter operations for sub-pixel interpolation are performed simultaneously on separate lanes of the SIMD processor's data path. Using a dedicated internal data path, precision higher than the native precision of the SIMD unit may be achieved. Through the data path according to this invention, a single instruction may be used to generate the value of two adjacent sub-pixels located diagonally with respect to integer pixel positions.

Abstract: Several embodiments of an electric heater are disclosed, each of which includes a master or a satellite heating unit and a slave or a base heating unit. The base or slave unit selectably derives heating power and heating control either from the master or satellite unit through a disconnectable electrical cord or derives heating power and heating control independently there-from. The master or satellite and slave or base units are adapted for tool-free mechanical attachment and separation. A communicating arrangement distinguishes between the attachment and the separation and alters the heating power and control according thereto by causing transfer of at least some of the heating control of the slave or base unit from the slave or base unit to the master or satellite unit during the attachment.

Abstract: Techniques for efficiently performing division and modulo operations in a programmable logic device. In one set of embodiments, the division and modulo operations are synthesized as one or more alternative arithmetic operations, such as multiplication and/or subtraction operations. The alternative arithmetic operations are then implemented using dedicated digital signal processing (DSP) resources, rather than non-dedicated logic resources, resident on a programmable logic device. In one embodiment, the programmable logic device is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), and the dedicated DSP resources are pre-fabricated on the FPGA. Embodiments of the present invention may be used in Ethernet-based network devices to support the high-speed packet processing necessary for 100G Ethernet, 32-port (or greater) trunking, 32-port/path (or greater) load balancing (such as 32-path ECMP), and the like.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory data address translation scheme is described that utilizes a hierarchal address translation system that is stored in the non-volatile memory itself. Embodiments of the present invention utilize a hierarchal address data and translation system wherein the address translation data entries are stored in one or more data structures/tables in the hierarchy, one or more of which can be updated in-place multiple times without having to overwrite data. This hierarchal address translation data structure and multiple update of data entries in the individual tables/data structures allow the hierarchal address translation data structure to be efficiently stored in a non-volatile memory array without markedly inducing write fatigue or adversely affecting the lifetime of the part. The hierarchal address translation of embodiments of the present invention also allow for an address translation layer that does not have to be resident in system RAM for operation.
