Patent number: 11942953Abstract: A apparatus includes a reference signal generator, a droop detection circuit, a digital frequency-locked loop (DFLL), and a DFLL control circuit. The reference signal generator that receives a digital value and produces a pulse-density modulated signal based on the digital value. The droop detection circuit converts the pulse-density modulated signal to an analog signal, compares the analog signal to a monitored supply voltage, and responsive to detecting a droop of the monitored supply voltage below a designated value relative to the analog signal, produces a droop detection signal. The DFLL provides a clock signal for synchronizing circuitry within a domain of the monitored supply voltage. The DFLL control circuit, responsive to receiving the droop detection signal, causes the DFLL to slow the clock signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignees: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Kaushik Mazumdar, Joyce Cheuk Wai Wong, Naeem Ibrahim Ally, Stephen Victor Kosonocky

Patent number: 10253084Abstract: A method for practical prediction of the three-dimensional structure of ?-helical membrane proteins (HMPs) is described. The method allows one to predict the binding site and structure for strongly bound ligands. The method combines a protocol of computational methods enabling a complete ensemble of packings to be sampled and systematically reducing this ensemble to progressively more accurate structures until at the end there remain a few that might be functionally relevant and likely to play a role in all binding and activation processes. This method is well suited to automatic operation making it practical to obtain, for example, the ensemble of important structures for all human GPCRs. With this ensemble of all active GPCR structures in the human body, an infimum method is presented to maximize efficacy toward the selected target while minimizing binding to all other GPCRs to eliminate toxicity arising from cross-reacting with other GPCRs (a most common source of drug failure).Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2008Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Ravinder Abrol, William A.
