| 20080263284 | Methods and Arrangements to Manage On-Chip Memory to Reduce Memory Latency - Methods, systems, and media for reducing memory latency seen by processors by providing a measure of control over on-chip memory (OCM) management to software applications, implicitly and/or explicitly, via an operating system are contemplated. Many embodiments allow part of the OCM to be managed by software applications via an application program interface (API), and part managed by hardware. Thus, the software applications can provide guidance regarding address ranges to maintain close to the processor to reduce unnecessary latencies typically encountered when dependent upon cache controller policies. Several embodiments utilize a memory internal to the processor or on a processor node so the memory block used for this technique is referred to as OCM. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20100274217 | Fluid replacement device - A fluid replacement device and method. A console includes a weighing subsystem responsive to a first fluid source and a urine collection chamber. A pump is configured to infuse fluid from the first fluid source into a patient. A processing subsystem in the console is responsive to the weighing subsystem. Based on the weight of the first fluid source and the weight of the urine collection chamber, the patient's urine output and the amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source are determined. A user interface in the console allows the user to set a desired fluid balance for the patient and the amount of at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient. An actual fluid balance is calculated based on the determined urine output, the determined amount of fluid infused into the patient from the first fluid source, and the set amount of the at least one additional fluid delivered to the patient. The pump is controlled based on the actual fluid balance and the set desired fluid balance so the actual fluid balance becomes the same as or approximately the same as the desired fluid balance. | 10-28-2010 |

| 20120041701 | TIME-DOMAIN TRIGGERING IN A TEST AND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT - Embodiments of this invention provide enhanced triggering capabilities such as frequency and phase triggering in a test and measurement instrument, such as a Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) or oscilloscope. A test and measurement instrument can include input terminals to receive RF signals, an ADC to digitize the RF signals, a digital downconverter to produce I and Q baseband component information, and a power detector to determine a power level using the I and Q information. A comparator compares the power level received from the power detector with a user-definable power threshold, and produces a logic signal for enabling one or more phase or frequency demodulators. The one or more demodulators produce IQ-based time-domain traces derived from the I and Q component information when the power level determined by the power detector exceeds the power threshold. Trigger circuitry is configured to trigger on an event responsive to a delayed trigger enable signal. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20110007752 | DESTINATION BASED METHODOLOGY FOR MANAGING NETWORK RESOURCES - A replicator is configured to be coupled to a first packet-based network, and a packet analysis module and a router are coupled to the replicator. The router is configured to be coupled to a second packet-based network. The replicator receives packets from the first packet-based network, passes the packets to the router, and passes a copy of the packets to the packet analysis module. The packet analysis module identifies, in a set of customers of the second packet-based network, a top usage subset. The top usage subset includes those of the customers who are using more bandwidth of the second packet-based network than other ones of the customers. The top usage subset includes at least two of the customers. The packet analysis module identifies, at an entry point of the second packet-based network, routes of packets destined for the top usage subset. The router discards a predetermined percentage of the packets destined for the top usage subset. The predetermined percentage is determined in order to reduce bandwidth utilization of the second packet-based network by a desired amount. The predetermined percentage is identical for all of the customers in the top usage subset. | 01-13-2011 |
