Abstract: A data array has multiple ways, each way having entries for storing data values. In response to a write request, an updated data value having a target address may be stored in any of a corresponding set of entries comprising an entry selected from each way based on the target address. An update queue stores update information representing pending write requests. Update information is selected from the update queue for a group of pending write requests corresponding to different ways, and these write requests are performed in parallel so that updated values are written to entries of different ways.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus is provided with a master device and a slave device which communicate via communication circuitry. The slave device is associated with a predetermined number of permission tokens that is equal to a maximum number of currently pending messages that can be accepted for processing from the communication circuitry by that slave device. The slave device transmits these permission tokens to the master device. The master device takes exclusive temporary possession of the permission tokens that it receives such that the permission tokens are then no longer available to any other master device. A master device initiates a message to a slave device when the master device has exclusive temporary possession of a permission token for that slave device. When the master device has initiated its message, then it relinquishes the exclusive temporary possession of the permission token such that it is then available for other devices.

The arbiter comprises: a history buffer for storing the identifiers identifying the initiators of a plurality of recently selected data packets; and selection circuitry configured to select one of the contending data packets in dependence upon the initiators of the contending data packets and the initiators identified in the history buffer, such that a probability of a data packet being selected increases with the number of data packets selected since a data packet from the same initiator was selected.

Abstract: An interconnect comprising paths configured to transmit data packets between nodes on a network. The nodes comprise ports for inputting and outputting the data packets to the interconnect. At least two of the paths each have at least a portion configured such that a data packet addressed for output at one of the nodes on one of the paths and not being accepted at the node will continue along the path and on travelling further will return to the node. The at least two paths are balanced paths such that a data packet not accepted at the one of the nodes will return to the node a same predetermined number of clock cycles later whichever of the balanced paths the data packet is traveling along.

Abstract: A server computer may be located at a home or business and may be used for heating the home or business. The server computer may operate a distributed cloud based application and may generate heat in response to application load. The server computer may have an air or water based heat exchanger that may integrate into various heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to use the heat generated by the server. In some embodiments, a thermostat may regulate the application load on the server computer as controlled by a cloud based controller.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes one or more transaction data sources and one or more transaction data destinations connected via interconnect circuitry comprising a plurality of interconnect nodes. Within the interconnect nodes there are one or more converging interconnect nodes. A converging interconnect node includes prediction data generation circuitry for reading characteristics of a current item of transaction data from the converging interconnect node and generating associated prediction data for a future item of transaction data which will be returned to the converging interconnect node at a predetermined time in the future. This prediction data is stored within prediction data storage circuitry and is read by prediction data evaluation circuitry to control processing of a future item of transaction data corresponding to that prediction data when it is returned to the converging interconnect node. The interconnect circuitry may have a branching network topology or recirculating ring based topology.

Abstract: There is provided a protective device, and in particular a device to assist in minimising injury to a person's hips caused by a fall. The device includes a plurality of guards, and a securing portion to hold the guards in position adjacent to and over top of a person's hip joints. The guards are formed from rigid material so as to transfer the force of an impact into soft tissue and muscle surrounding the person's hip joints. Community assembly alerts is configured to alert a monitoring service upon detection that a fall has occurred.

Abstract: A apparatus and a method are disclosed for transmitting a signal directed to a blood vessel via a Doppler ultrasound waveform apparatus, receiving, by the Doppler ultrasound waveform apparatus, a reflected signal from the blood vessel; and determining, by a processing device, whether the blood vessel is an artery or a vein based on a blood flow velocity in the blood vessel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for requesting computer software program logic by a client computing device from a server are provided. The method at the server comprises receiving a request for the computer software program logic from the client device along with a first list comprising details about multiple modules running on the client device; determining a second list comprising details about multiple modules required to deploy the computer software program logic on the client device; checking whether the modules of the second list need to be substituted based on their availability or suitability; updating the second list; checking whether the client device has permission rights for accessing the modules of the updated second list; and sending an object comprising the modules of the updated second list to the client device, the updated second list comprising details about the modules required for deployment of logic on the client device.

Some embodiments of the invention include adjusting a duty cycle of the traction motor as a function of the severity of the detected wheel slip.

Abstract: The invention relates to regulating access by users to a scarce resource, wherein the resource is capable of handling multiple concurrent accesses. A request for access to the scarce resource is received and it is determined whether the access level for the scarce resource is at a desired maximum. Responsive to determining that said access level is at a desired maximum, the requester is placed in a queue for access to said scarce resource. The requester is then provided with a notification that the request has been enqueued. Access is available to the requester upon reaching the head of the queue when the access level drops below the desired maximum.
