Publication number: 20240028241Abstract: There is provided a data processing apparatus in which decode circuitry receives a memory copy instruction containing an indication of a source area of memory, an indication of a destination area of memory, and an indication of a remaining copy length. In response to receiving the memory copy instruction, the decode circuitry generates at least one active memory copy operation or a null memory copy operation. The active memory copy operation causes one or more execution units to perform a memory copy from part of the source area of memory to part of the destination area of memory and the null memory copy operation leaves the destination area of memory unmodified.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Yasuo ISHII, Steven Daniel MACLEAN, Nicholas Andrew PLANTE, Muhammad Umar FAROOQ, Michael Brian SCHINZLER, Nicholas Todd HUMPHRIES, Glen Andrew HARRIS

Publication number: 20230074517Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing breath training. In illustrative embodiments, an operator creates a pressure, either positive or negative, in the lungs. This pressure is transferred through a mask assembly to a breathwork apparatus, which utilizes pistons moving within cylinder volumes to provide numerical feedback to an operator regarding the operator's breathing. Through breath control exercises, the operator of a breathwork apparatus can develop deeper and slower breathing habits which are more efficient. One embodiment provides a breathwork apparatus comprising an exhalation side; a transfer case; an inhalation side; and, a mask assembly, wherein the exhalation side and inhalation side are joined by transfer case which comprises a plurality of channels, such that at least a first channel of a plurality of channels terminates in an exhalation rate meter, and at least a second channel of the plurality of channels terminates in an inhalation rate meter.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Gary Steven DANIELS, Jesse John BROWNE
