  • Publication number: 20140040516
    Abstract: Interconnect circuitry is configured to provide data routes via which at least one initiator device may access at least one recipient device. The circuitry including: at least one input for receiving transaction requests from at least one initiator device; at least one output for outputting transaction requests to the at least one recipient device; and at least one path for transmitting transaction requests between at least one input and at least one output. Also includes is control circuitry for routing the received transaction requests from at least one input to at least one output and responds to a barrier transaction request to maintain an ordering of at least some transaction requests with respect to said barrier transaction request within a stream of transaction requests passing along one of said at least one paths.

  • Publication number: 20130338730
    Abstract: Apparatus for neuromuscular electrical stimulation and methods for anchoring the same are provided. The apparatus may include an elongated member having one or more electrodes disposed at the distal region of the elongated member and at least one fixation element disposed at the distal region of the elongated member. The fixation element may be shaped and sized to be deployed between tissue layers, such as muscle layers, without damaging the tissue layers so as to secure the one or more electrodes in or adjacent to a desired anatomical site within a patient. An additional fixation element may be disposed at the distal region of the elongated member so that tissue, such as a muscle, may be sandwiched between the fixation elements without damaging the tissue.

  • Patent number: 8589638
    Abstract: A memory controller includes a comparison circuitry configured to compare the barrier context value of each write request to be issued to the memory with the barrier context values of at least some pending read requests, the pending read requests being requests received at the memory controller but not yet issued to the memory and, in response to detecting at least one of the pending read requests with an earlier barrier context value identifying a barrier transaction that has a corresponding barrier transaction in the stream of requests on the write channel that is earlier in the stream of requests than the write request, stalling the write request until the at least one pending read request has been performed; and, in response to detecting no pending read requests with the earlier barrier context value, issuing the write request to the memory.
