  • Publication number: 20200226081
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and port controller designs employ a light-weight memory protocol. A light-weight memory protocol controller is selectively coupled to a Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX) port. Over an on-chip interconnect fabric, the light-weight protocol controller receives memory access requests from a processor and, in response, transmits associated memory access requests to an external memory through the CCIX port using only a proper subset of CCIX protocol memory transactions types including non-cacheable transactions and non-snooping transactions. The light-weight memory protocol controller is selectively uncoupled from the CCIX port and a remote coherent slave controller is coupled in its place. The remote coherent slave controller receives memory access requests and, in response, transmits associated memory access requests to a memory module through the CCIX port using cacheable CCIX protocol memory transaction types.

  • Publication number: 20200222114
    Abstract: Methods and systems for ablating target tissue, such as in or along an airway, include modulation one of power and current of an a system to achieve a treatment output or parameter. Treatment outputs can include current, power, energy delivered, percent drop in impedance, an impedance-based ratio, a percent impedance slope, and/or an airway wall impedance. Power and/or current of the system can be varied, within certain maximum thresholds, such as power, current, and/or impedance thresholds, to achieve the desired output parameter target during some or all of the treatment time. The systems and methods reduce the variability of the treatment efficacy otherwise due to variability in electrical properties of patient tissue and/or electrode contact.

  • Publication number: 20200227810
    Abstract: Perimeter truss reflector includes a perimeter truss assembly (PTA) comprised of a plurality of battens, each having an length which traverses a PTA thickness as defined along a direction aligned with a reflector central axis. A collapsible mesh reflector surface is secured to the PTA such that when the PTA is in a collapsed configuration, the reflector surface is collapsed for compact stowage and when the PTA is in the expanded configuration, the reflector surface is expanded to a shape that is configured to concentrate RF energy in a predetermined pattern. Each of the one or more longerons extend around at least a portion of a periphery of the PTA. These longerons each comprise a storable extendible member (SEM) which can be flattened and rolled around a spool, but exhibits beam-like structural characteristics when unspooled.
