Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for measuring an impedance of one or more target cells before and after an electroporation protocol has been applied to the one or more target cells. The result of the impedance measurement provides a feedback control that can be implemented during and/or after the electroporation protocol to customize the electrical treatment for a particular target cell or cellular tissue.

Abstract: A processing unit is provided which comprises volatile storage for storing machine learning data in binary representation, and a data processing engine communicatively coupled to the volatile storage. The processing unit is configured to selectively invert the bit values in binary representations of portions of the machine learning data when performing storage operations using the volatile storage. A computer-implemented method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for executing the method are also provided. The method comprises receiving a request to perform a storage operation on the volatile storage using the machine learning data and performing the storage operation, including, selecting a portion of the machine learning data and inverting bit values in a binary representation of the selected portion. A computer-implemented method comprising receiving a request to store machine learning data on volatile storage and storing the machine learning data is also provided.

Abstract: Data store access circuitry is disclosed that comprises: a data store for storing values; comparator circuitry coupled to said data store and responsive to receipt of a data access request comprising an address to compare at least a portion of said address with at least a portion of one or more of said values stored in said data store so as to identify a stored value matching said address; a base value register coupled to said comparator circuitry and storing a base value corresponding to at least a portion of at least one of said stored values; and comparator control circuitry coupled to said comparator circuitry to control: (i) which portion of said address is processed as a non-shared portion and compared by said comparator circuitry with non-shared portions of said one or more stored values stored in said data store; and (ii) which portion of said address is processed as a shared portion and compared by said comparator circuitry with a shared portion of said base value stored in said base value register;

Abstract: A memory has multiple memory rows 32 storing respective stored values. The stored values are divided into portions which may be shared by all stored values within the memory rows concerned. When such portions are so shared, then the comparison between an input value and the plurality of stored values can be performed using a base value stored within a base value register 30 rather than by reading the relevant portions of the memory rows. Thus, those relevant portions of the memory rows can be disabled and power saved.

Abstract: A method for improving the efficiency, enhancing the heat output, and reducing the harmful emissions of a solid carbonaceous fuel combustion system by introducing a hydrogen-rich gas into a solid carbonaceous fuel combustion process at one or more predetermined injection points or directly into a flame of the combustion process where the hydrogen-rich gas is controlled to be introduced at a desired flow-rate. The gas is introduced through one or more predetermined injection points which are selected from one or a combination of one or more primary air streams with the solid carbonaceous fuel prior to combustion, one or more secondary air streams with the solid carbonaceous fuel at combustion, one or more tertiary/overfire air streams downstream of the solid carbonaceous fuel combustion, and one or more injection ports near an exit end of a furnace of said combustion process.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus is provided having a cache memory 262, 264, a cache controller 240 and a location-specifying memory 252. The location-specifying memory is configured to store mapping data providing a mapping between a given memory address and a storage location in the cache. The stored mapping data is used instead of performing a cache look up to access the information corresponding to the given memory address in the cache memory. Furthermore, a data processing apparatus is provided having a pipelined processing circuit 220, a cache memory 262, 264, loop detection circuitry, branch prediction circuitry 232 and control circuitry 240. The branch prediction circuitry is configured to generate branch prediction information, which is used by the control circuitry to control which program instructions of detected program loops are stored by the buffer memory.
