  • Publication number: 20210272664
    Abstract: A system for use with a magnetic non-parallel electric field (MNPEF) or magnetic non-parallel magnetic field (MNPMF) therapy may comprise a processor-based system including at least one processor and memory comprising instructions. When executed by the processor-based system, the instructions cause the processor-based system to: access metrics of a subject who is being treated with the MNPEF or MNPMF therapy, wherein the accessed metrics include at least one analyte, the at least one analyte including one or more of blood glucose data, lactate data, or pyruvate data, free fatty acid data, cholesterol data, and compliance data for complying with an MNPEF or MNPMF therapy; use the accessed metrics as an input to a machine learning algorithm that is configured to determine a set of therapy parameters for the MNPEF or MNPMF therapy, and program the MNPEF or MNPMF therapy using the determined set of therapy parameters.

  • Patent number: 7269720
    Abstract: Techniques are described for dynamically controlling the execution of operations within a multi-operation instruction, such as a very long instruction word (VLIW). A programmable processor fetches and executes a first instruction having an operation mask. Based on the operation mask, the processor selectively executes one or more operations within a second instruction. Individual operations within a multi-operation instruction can be selectively enabled and disabled, which is advantageous in many situations, including event handling and code debugging.

  • Patent number: 6851010
    Abstract: The invention is directed to techniques for managing a cache within a processor using one or more machine instructions. The machine instructions may perform one or more operations on the cache. For example, victimize instructions, allocate instructions, and pre-fetch instructions can be executed in the processor as part of cache management. Moreover, these various cache management instructions may be defined by one or more operands that specify memory addresses within main memory, rather than addresses or identifiers that define locations within the cache. For this reason, a programmer may invoke these cache management instructions to direct the management of the cache without knowing the specific location of data within the cache.

  • Patent number: 5517136
    Abstract: An opportunistic time-borrowing domino logic includes a domino pipeline having a plurality of logic gates coupled in series and controlled by first, second, third and fourth clock signals. The first domino gate in a half-cycle is clocked by either the first or the second clock signals, wherein the last domino gate in a half-cycle is clocked by either the third or the fourth clock cycles. The second clock signal is an inverse of the first clock signal, and the third and fourth clock signals have local delayed clock phases in which the falling edges of the third and fourth clock signals are delayed relative to the falling edges of the respective first and second clock signals. In a first half-cycle, a first type of domino gate is controlled by the first clock signal, with subsequent domino gates of the same type being controlled by the third clock signal.
