Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110022817Mapping Processing Logic Having Data-Parallel Threads Across Processors - A method for executing a plurality of data-parallel threads of a processing logic on a processor core includes grouping the plurality of data-parallel threads into one or more workgroups, associating a first workgroup from the one or more workgroups with an operating system thread on the processor core, and configuring threads from the first workgroup as user-level threads within the operating system thread. In an example, a method enables the execution of GPU-kernels that has been previously configured for a GPU, to execute on a CPU such as a multi-core CPU. The mapping of the numerous data-parallel threads to the CPU is done in such a manner as to reduce the number of costly operating system threads instantiated on the CPU, and to enable efficient debugging.01-27-2011

20120102507STREAMING PROGRAMMING GENERATOR - A device receives input that includes definitions of components of a computational pipeline, where the components include one or more buffers, one or more kernels, and one or more stages within a control graph. The device generates, based on the input, kernel signatures for a graphics processor, where the kernel signatures compile into an executable streaming program for the computational pipeline. The device also generates, based on the input, host-side runtime code to execute the streaming program.04-26-2012

20100231203Temperature and drift compensation in magnetoresistive sensors - Double modulation of a magnetoresistive sensor entails modulating both an excitation (e.g., voltage or current) applied to the sensor and a tickling magnetic field applied to the sensor. The excitation and magnetic field are modulated at different frequencies f09-16-2010

20110223612Magnetic Sensor Based Quantitative Binding Kinetics Analysis - Methods for quantitatively determining a binding kinetic parameter of a molecular binding interaction are provided. Aspects of embodiments of the methods include: producing a magnetic sensor device including a magnetic sensor in contact with an assay mixture including a magnetically labeled molecule to produce a detectable molecular binding interaction; obtaining a real-time signal from the magnetic sensor; and quantitatively determining a binding kinetics parameter of the molecular binding interaction from the real-time signal. Also provided are systems and kits configured for use in the methods.09-15-2011

20110027901METHODS AND DEVICES FOR DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF AN ANALYTE IN A SAMPLE - Sensor assay methods for detecting the presence of an analyte in a sample are provided. Aspects of the methods include providing a sensor, e.g., a proximity sensor, in contact with an assay composition that includes a sample and a proximity label. Next, a capture probe configured to bind to the proximity label and the analyte is introduced into the assay composition to produce a labeled analyte. Following capture probe introduction, a signal is obtained from the sensor to detect the presence of the labeled analyte in the sample. Also provided are sensor devices, including hand-held devices, and kits that find use in practicing the subject methods.02-03-2011
