Abstract: An implant delivery device is designed to simplify the process of implant insertion while minimizing the risk of contamination and handling errors. The device includes a body portion and an implant delivery portion. The body portion includes a closed end, while the implant delivery portion is disposed opposite to the closed end and includes an orifice. This design reduces the complexity of the device and procedure, thereby decreasing the likelihood of handling, loading, and delivery errors. Additionally, the device may include features such as a friction-reducing coating, an antimicrobial treatment, and a flexible elastomer to further enhance its functionality and safety.

Abstract: A processor including logic to execute an instruction to synchronize a mapping from a physical address of a guest of a virtualization based system (guest physical address) to a physical address of the host of the virtualization based system (host physical address), and stored in a translation lookaside buffer (TLB), with a corresponding mapping stored in an extended paging table (EPT) of the virtualization based system.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses and methods for processing virtualization events in a layered virtualization architecture are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a hardware processor including event circuit to recognize a virtualization event, and evaluation circuit to determine whether to transfer control of the apparatus from a child guest to a parent guest in response to the virtualization event, wherein the child guest and the parent guest each include a bit per virtualization event to indicate whether the parent guest is to gain control when the virtualization event occurs.

Abstract: A processor including a virtualization system of the processor with a memory virtualization support system to map a reference to guest-physical memory made by guest software executable on a virtual machine which in turn is executable on a host machine in which the processor is operable to a reference to host-physical memory of the host machine.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for delivering an interrupt to a virtual processor are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an interface to receive an interrupt request, delivery logic, and exit logic. The delivery logic is to determine, based on an attribute of the interrupt request, whether the interrupt request is to be delivered to the virtual processor. The exit logic is to transfer control to a host if the delivery logic determines that the interrupt request is not to be delivered to the virtual processor.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the invention, a method for operating a data processing machine is described in which data about a state of the machine is written to a location in storage. The location is one that is accessible to software that may be written for the machine. The state data as written is encoded. This state data may be recovered from the storage according to a decoding process. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
