Patent number: 11590058Abstract: Patients with substance abuse problems may be prescribed regular medication that dulls the positive effects of the substance. However, one of the largest challenges for substance abuse patients is that many do not regularly take their medication as they want to experience the high of the substance. Accordingly, systems and methods have been developed for medication sessions that distract the patient from taking the medicine by incorporating the reminder and other med actions in close temporal proximity.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Ria Technology Management Inc.Inventors: David A. G. Deacon, Robert P. Nix, John E. Mendelson

Patent number: 6704861Abstract: A mechanism for executing computer instructions in parallel includes a compiler for generating and grouping instructions into a plurality of sets of instructions to be executed in parallel, each set having a unique identification. A computer system having a real state and a speculative state executes the sets in parallel, the computer system executing a particular set of instructions in the speculative state if the instructions of the particular set have dependencies which can not be resolved until the instructions are actually executed. The computer system generates speculative data while executing instructions in the speculative state. Logic circuits are provided to detect any exception conditions which occur while executing the particular set in the speculative state. If the particular set is subject to an exception condition, the instructions of the set are re-executed to resolve the exception condition, and to incorporate the speculative data in the real state of the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1996Date of Patent: March 9, 2004Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Francis X.

Patent number: 6154828Abstract: A method and apparatus including means for storing an executable file which includes a group of bits which define functional operations and cycle bits associated with each functional operation and means for completing a variable number of the functional operations in parallel during a single execution cycle in accordance with a state of the associated cycle bit. The method and apparatus eliminates the need for complex data dependency checking hardware and allows a minimum amount of control logic to complete execution of executable files. The method and apparatus further minimizes the necessity of adding null operations (NOPs) to executable files which reduces the amount of storage space necessary to store the executable files and allows executable files to be used on multiple hardware implementations and for register values to be used for multiple purposes during single execution cycles.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1993Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: Compaq Computer CorporationInventors: Joseph Dominic Macri, Francis X. McKeen, Joel S. Emer, William Robert Grundmann, Robert P. Nix, David Arthur James Webb, Jr.

Patent number: 5428807Abstract: There is provided a mechanism for propagating exception conditions in a computer system when instructions are subject to exception conditions. The apparatus includes a set of data registers for storing data manipulated by the instructions of the computer system, and a set of state registers for storing speculative states of data manipulated by the instructions, there being one state register associated with each data register. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a logic circuit, coupled to the set of state registers, for propagating the states from a source one of the state registers to a destination one of the state registers, if data stored in an associated source one of the data registers are used as a source for an associated destination one of data registers, and if data stored in the source data register were manipulated by a particular instruction subject to an exception condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1993Date of Patent: June 27, 1995Assignee: Digital Equipment CorporationInventors: Francis X. McKeen, Michael C. Adler, Joel S. Emer, Robert P. Nix, David J. Sager, P. Geoffrey Lowny

Patent number: 5420990Abstract: An apparatus for enforcing that selected instructions are executed in a correct order, comprising a first content addressable memory for storing load addresses of data read from the memory by the selected instructions. The first content addressable memory comparing the store addresses with the load addresses of data to be written to the memory. The first content addressable memory generating a first signal, if one of the load addresses is identical to a subsequently compared one of the store addresses. The apparatus further including a second content addressable memory for storing and comparing states of the data read and written by the selected instructions. The second content addressable memory generating a second signal, if one of the stored states is identical to one of said compared states. The stored states including a program counter to repeat the execution of the selected instructions upon detecting the first and second signals.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1993Date of Patent: May 30, 1995Assignee: Digital Equipment CorporationInventors: Francis X.

Patent number: 5421022Abstract: A compiler groups instructions into sets. The sets of instructions are related by data and control dependencies which are unresolvable by the compiler. Sets of instructions having unresolved dependencies are executed in a speculative state of the computer system under the assumption that an exception condition will not occur. However, if an exception condition does occur while executing a set of instructions in the speculative state, that exception condition is detected and the set of instructions is re-executed in a real state of the computer system to resolve the exception condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1993Date of Patent: May 30, 1995Assignee: Digital Equipment CorporationInventors: Francis X. McKeen, Michael C. Adler, Joel S. Emer, Robert P. Nix, David J. Sager, P. Geoffrey Lowney
