  • Patent number: 9697898
    Abstract: A content addressable memory system, method and computer program product is described. The memory system comprises a location addressable store having data identified by location and multiple levels of content addressable stores each holding ternary content words. The content words are associated with references to data in the location addressable store and the content words containing at least one next entry bit for sorting content words in a physical ordered sequence to create content ordered memory. The content store levels might be implemented using different technologies that have different performance, capacity, and cost attributes. The memory system includes a content based cache for improved performance and a content addressable memory management unit for managing memory access operations and virtual memory addressing.

  • Patent number: 9636312
    Abstract: Methods for treating the animal central nervous system for the effects of traumatic brain injury. Therapeutic agents are administered to the upper third of the nasal cavity to bypass the blood-brain barrier and access the central nervous system directly to avoid unwanted and potentially lethal side effects. Therapeutic agents include those substances that interact with iron and/or copper such as iron chelators, copper chelators, and antioxidants. A particular example of such therapeutic agents is the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO). An effective amount of DFO may be administered to the upper third of the nasal cavity of a patient suffering from traumatic brain injury. The effective amount of DFO is delivered directly to the patient's central nervous system for treating the traumatic brain injury.

  • Patent number: 9629819
    Abstract: Methods for preconditioning and/or providing neuroprotection to the animal central nervous system against the effects of progressive supranuclear palsy. Therapeutic agents are administered to the upper third of the nasal cavity to bypass the blood-brain barrier and access the central nervous system directly to avoid unwanted and potentially lethal side effects. Therapeutic agents include those substances that interact with iron and/or copper such as iron chelators, copper chelators, and antioxidants. A particular example of such therapeutic agents is the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO). An effective amount of DFO may be administered to the upper third of the nasal cavity of a patient at risk for, or diagnosed with, progressive supranuclear palsy. The effective amount of DFO is delivered directly to the patient's central nervous system for preconditioning, preventing and/or treating the progressive supranuclear palsy.

  • Publication number: 20170091639
    Abstract: Automatically create abstractions of large sets of data and then probabilistic inferences based on the abstractions. The probabilistic inference is derived from the logical hierarchy using Bayesian statistics to infer a probabilistic event based upon a characteristic of the data in a hierarchy of synthetic events. The logical hierarchy of a set of a plurality of synthetic events is related by at least one characteristic of data is built by accessing a first set of data. The first set of data is organized based on a first characteristic. A second set of data different than the first set of data is accessed. A second set of data based is organized based on a second characteristic. The first characteristic and the second characteristic are processed to generate a synthetic event. The synthetic event is a third set of data representing a result of a mathematical computation defined by an operation S(p1)==>F(p2).

  • Publication number: 20170091344
    Abstract: A system comprises a hashing logic, which executes instructions to convert raw data into a first logical address and payload data, where the first logical address describes metadata about the payload data. A hardware translation unit executes instructions to translate the first logical address into a first physical address on a storage device. A hardware load/storage unit stores the first logical address and the payload data at the first physical address on the storage device. A content addressable store is associated with a reference to the logical addressed data in this location addressable high dimensional store, where the content addressable store is searched for the desired content word using at least one temporal attribute to retrieve the corresponding references with low latency. A hardware exclusive OR (XOR) unit compares two logical address vectors to derive a Hamming distance between the two logical address vectors.

  • Publication number: 20160259895
    Abstract: System and Method for Real Time Updates of Progress of Medical Procedures. This invention enables several users of a provider such as doctors and nurses to send one-way real time messages about the progress of a procedure to multiple recipients. As sessions are identified by a random key, users are not required to divulge personal information or set up accounts to access the system. When new messages are posted to a session, users may optionally choose to be notified by text messages or emails. Messages are selected from templates that are specific to the provider. Messages may be sent from and received on multiple network connected computers, laptops, mobile ort medical devices at the same time.
