Similarly, a non-transactional store is also provided. Here, a transactional store is performed and not added to a write set during speculative code execution. And the store may be immediately globally visible and/or persistent (even after an abort of the speculative code region). In other words, speculative escape operations are provided to ‘escape’ a speculative code region to perform non-transactional memory accesses without causing the speculative code region to abort or fail. | 12-25-2014 |

But by adding only prefix hints, legacy processor are able to execute the same code by just ignoring the hints and executing the critical section traditionally with locks to guarantee mutual exclusion. Moreover, xBegin and xEnd are similarly provided for in an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) to define a transactional code region. In addition, other control speculation instructions, such as xAbort to enable explicit abort of a critical or transactional code section and xTest to test a state of speculative execution is also provided in the ISA. | 01-29-2015 |

20160132337 | Method, apparatus, and system for speculative abort control mechanisms - An apparatus and method is described herein for providing robust speculative code section abort control mechanisms. Hardware is able to track speculative code region abort events, conditions, and/or scenarios, such as an explicit abort instruction, a data conflict, a speculative timer expiration, a disallowed instruction attribute or type, etc. And hardware, firmware, software, or a combination thereof makes an abort determination based on the tracked abort events. As an example, hardware may make an initial abort determination based on one or more predefined events or choose to pass the event information up to a firmware or software handler to make such an abort determination. Upon determining an abort of a speculative code region is to be performed, hardware, firmware, software, or a combination thereof performs the abort, which may include following a fallback path specified by hardware or software. And to enable testing of such a fallback path, in one implementation, hardware provides software a mechanism to always abort speculative code regions. | 05-12-2016 |

20120026046 | ANTENNA INTEGRATED WITH A PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A radio is presented in which a short-range antenna, along with a speaker, is contained within a non-conductive speaker bracket. The antenna is a PIFA that is bent and extends through the speaker bracket so that the distance between the free end of the PIFA and various metallic components of the radio including the chassis and speaker is maximized. The structure containing the PIFA is flexible and also contains a contact area where feed/ground contact for the PIFA is made as well as contact for audio components including a speaker and microphone. A flexible cable and extension portion of the flexible structure routes the signals to the audio components far enough away from the PIFA so that the amount of crosstalk is insignificant. The free end of the PIFA and launch pad where feed/ground contact for the PIFA is made are non-planar. | 02-02-2012 |

20110270542 | FLUID LEVEL SENSING SYSTEM - A system for monitoring the level of a fluid in a vehicle is provided. The system comprises a capacitance sensor configured to be at least partially immersed in the fluid. The capacitance sensor is configured to measure a first capacitance associated with a predetermined level of the fluid and a second capacitance associated with an actual level of the fluid in the vehicle. The system further comprises a processing circuit configured to determine the actual level of the fluid in the vehicle using the first capacitance and the second capacitance. The processing circuit is configured to receive at least one of an attitude of the vehicle and a temperature of the fluid from at least one sensor coupled to the vehicle. The processing circuit is further configured to compare the determined actual level of the fluid with a threshold level associated with the at least one of the attitude and temperature to identify a relative position of the determined actual level of the fluid with respect to the threshold level. | 11-03-2011 |

20140296687 | PRESSURE SENSORS FOR SMALL-SCALE APPLICATIONS AND RELATED METHODS - Certain pressure sensor devices are much smaller than prior art devices, yet are at least as sensitive as the prior art devices. A capacitive pressure sensor can include a flexible substrate that permits bending of a pressure sensing region without significantly affecting operation thereof. The pressure sensor can include a flexible membrane in which an electrode is sandwiched between two layers of polymeric material. The sandwiched electrode can be extremely close to a reference electrode so as to provide for highly sensitive capacitance readings, yet the membrane can be restricted from contacting the reference electrode under high pressure conditions. | 10-02-2014 |
