| 20080281996 | Latency Insensitive FIFO Signaling Protocol - Data from a source domain operating at a first data rate is transferred to a FIFO in another domain operating at a different data rate. The FIFO buffers data before transfer to a sink for further processing or storage. A source side counter tracks space available in the FIFO. In disclosed examples, the initial counter value corresponds to FIFO depth. The counter decrements in response to a data ready signal from the source domain, without delay. The counter increments in response to signaling from the sink domain of a read of data off the FIFO. Hence, incrementing is subject to the signaling latency between domains. The source may send one more beat of data when the counter indicates the FIFO is full. The last beat of data is continuously sent from the source until it is indicated that a FIFO position became available; effectively providing one more FIFO position. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20100146315 | Software Selectable Adjustment of SIMD Parallelism - Selective power control of one or more processing elements matches a degree of parallelism to requirements of a task performed in a highly parallel programmable data processor. For example, when program operations require less than the full width of the data path, a software instruction of the program sets a mode of operation requiring a subset of the parallel processing capacity. At least one parallel processing element, that is not needed, can be shut down to conserve power. At a later time, when the added capacity is needed, execution of another software instruction sets the mode of operation to that of the wider data path, typically the full width, and the mode change reactivates the previously shut-down processing element. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110137970 | MODE-BASED MULTIPLY-ADD RECODING FOR DENORMAL OPERANDS - In a denormal support mode, the normalization circuit of a floating-point adder is used to normalize or denormalized the output of a floating-point multiplier. Each floating-point multiply instruction is speculatively converted to a multiply-add instruction, with the addend forced to zero. This preserves the value of the product, while normalizing or denormalizing the product using the floating-point adder's normalization circuit. When the operands to the multiply operation are available, they are inspected. If the operands will not generate an unnormal intermediate product or a denormal final product, the add operation is suppressed, such as by operand-forwarding. Additionally, each non-fused floating-point multiply-add instruction is replaced with a multiply-add instruction having a zero addend, and a floating-point add instruction having the addend of the original multiply-add instruction is inserted into the instruction stream. Upon inspection of the operands, if an unnormal intermediate result or a denormal final result will not occur, the addend may be restored to the multiply-add instruction and the add instruction converted to a NOP. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20090052466 | COMMUNICATION PATH SELECTION - In an example embodiment, a method for selecting a communication path is provided. The method may comprise receiving data encapsulated in a transport protocol. In addition, a classification type and exit path information associated with the classification type may be received. The data is associated with the classification type and then is encapsulated in Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) based on the exit path information. This exit path information is associated with the classification type that is associated with the data. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20110135121 | ACOUSTIC REFLECTOR AND ENERGY STORAGE FOR MEDIA ASSEMBLIES - A speaker assembly is provided with a housing, a speaker mounted to the housing, and a reflector spaced apart from and facing the speaker. The reflector is symmetrical and has an arcuate central convex region for reflecting pressure back to the speaker for amplifying back pressure to the speaker. The reflector has a secondary region with an arcuate cross-section for reflecting acoustic vibrations past and outboard of the housing. The reflector is partially translucent, and a light source is provided adjacent the reflector for conveying light to the reflector, past and outboard of the housing for illuminating a region that receives acoustic vibrations reflected from the reflector. A media assembly is provided with a fan operably connected to a generator so that air that passes into a housing through an inlet and out of an outlet, causes the fan to rotate thereby providing a power source to a media device. | 06-09-2011 |

| 20090099126 | Ribonucleoside Cyclic Acetal Derivatives for the Treatment of RNA-Dependent RNA Viral Infection - The present invention provides ribonucleoside 2′,3′-cyclic acetals of structural formula I which are precursors or prodrugs of inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral polymerase. These compounds are precursors of inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and are useful for the treatment of RNA-dependent RNA viral infection. They are particularly useful as pre-cursors or prodrugs of inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, as precursors or prodrugs of inhibitors of HCV replication, and/or for the treatment of hepatitis C infection. The invention also describes pharmaceutical compositions containing such ribonucleoside 2′,3′-cyclic acetals alone or in combination with other agents active against RNA-dependent RNA viral infection, in particular HCV infection. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA viral replication, and/or treating RNA-dependent RNA viral infection with the ribonucleoside 2′,3′-cyclic acetals of the present invention. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20080215030 | Assembly for Filling a Container of a Delivery Device with a Pharmaceutical - A filling assembly for a container of a delivery device. The filling assembly includes a housing, a cartridge, and a transfer needle assembly. The housing is adapted to releaseably secure a fillable secondary container, and to movably mount the pharmaceutical filled cartridge. When the cartridge is advanced within the housing, a needle of the needle assembly pierces a septum of the fillable secondary container, as well as the cartridge septum. Advancement of the cartridge piston, such as with a lever equipped plunging tool of the filling assembly, forces pharmaceutical from the cartridge to the container through the needle. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090312715 | NEEDLE MOUNTING ASSEMBLY FOR A MEDICATION INJECTION DEVICE - A needle mounting assembly for mounting a pen needle in fluid communication with a medication cartridge includes a collet and a stop collar. The collet defines an opening in which is slidably fittable the outlet end of the cartridge, and the collet is shiftable relative to the cartridge outlet end between a first and a second axial position. The collet includes a base and a plurality of fingers that are forward of the base. When the collet is disposed in the first axial position, the fingers are disposed in a first radial arrangement in which a needle hub of the pen needle can be freely axially placed onto and freely axially removed from the fingers. When the collet is moved to the second position the fingers are shifted by engagement with the cartridge outlet end to a second radial arrangement to operationally secure the needle hub while the pen needle pierces the cartridge septum. The movement of the collet back to the first position proceeds in reversed order enabling free axial removal of the needle hub from the mounting assembly. | 12-17-2009 |
