Abstract: A data processing apparatus is provided. Prefetch circuitry generates a prefetch request for a cache line prior to the cache line being explicitly requested. The cache line is predicted to be required for a store operation in the future. Issuing circuitry issues the prefetch request to a memory hierarchy and filter circuitry filters the prefetch request based on at least one other prefetch request made to the cache line, to control whether the prefetch request is issued by the issuing circuitry.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus comprising processing circuitry, prefetch circuitry and prefetch metadata storage comprising a plurality of entries. Metadata items, each associated with a given stream of instructions, are stored in the prefetch metadata storage. Responsive to a given entry of the plurality of entries being associated with the given stream associated with a given metadata item, the given entry is updated. Responsive to no entry of the plurality of entries being associated with the given stream associated with a given metadata item, an entry is selected according to a default replacement policy, the given stream is allocated thereto, and the selected entry is updated based on the given metadata item. Responsive to a switch condition being met, the default selection policy is switched to an alternative selection policy comprising locking one or more entries by preventing allocation of streams to the locked entries.

Abstract: In some examples, a server may receive an order to ship a product to a particular location. The server may instruct a fully automated warehouse to place the product in a container with one or more biodegradable inserts to cushion the product. The server may select a plurality of seeds based on one or more of (i) location information (e.g., weather conditions, soil data, location type), (ii) a requested seed type in the order, (iii) a carbon footprint of the product, and/or (iv) previously sent seeds. The server may instruct the warehouse to create a packet that includes the plurality of seeds and, in some cases, a predetermined amount of a fertilizer selected based at least in part on the plurality of seeds and the soil data. The after the packet is attached to the container, a courier may transport the container to the particular location.

Abstract: In some examples, while a user is navigating a site using a browser, a computing device may receive one or more images from a camera and may monitor input data from input devices (e.g., mouse, keyboard). After a particular event occurs (e.g., a navigation event such as selecting a link, selecting a tab, scrolling up or down, or the like), the computing device may analyze the images captured after the event using a machine learning algorithm to determine a micro-expression of the user. The micro-expression may be classified as a particular sentiment of a plurality of sentiments, associated with the event, and sent to a server. The server or the computing device may instruct the browser to modify, based on the sentiment, a portion of the site. The modification may include displaying a user interface to enable the user to communicate with a representative associated with the site.

Abstract: A lip implant having first and second regions is described. The lip implant includes a first region formed of a liquid, solid, or a gas and a second region formed of a solid material. Also described is a lip implant having an elongated cross-section. A method for insertion of the implant is also described along with the instrumentation facilitating its insertion.

Abstract: A lip implant and lip instrument. The lip implant is formed of solid silicone and is shaped to be received in the lip of a patient. The lip instrument includes a pair of arms coupled together having clamping members to grasp and retain the lip implant. A method for insertion of the lip implant into the patient is further described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method, as well as a computer program product, for measuring a physical or physiological activity by a subject and for assessing the psychosomatic state of the subject. The subject is automatically provided with a sequence of different sensory stimuli by means of a stimulus generator controlled by a control means. Electrical signals are then derived from a physical or physiological activity by the subject in response to each sensory stimulus provided, in particular a force of pressure exerted on a letter balance. The electrical signals are compared with a pre-settable index value. On the basis of this, information can be obtained about the psychosomatic state of the subject, in particular about preferences and inclinations. The device is preferably used as an allergy testing apparatus, wherein the sensory stimuli provided in the sequence represent substances which potentially trigger allergies.
