Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110010501EFFICIENT DATA PREFETCHING IN THE PRESENCE OF LOAD HITS - A BIU prioritizes L1 requests above L2 requests. The L2 generates a first request to the BIU and detects the generation of a snoop request and L1 request to the same cache line. The L2 determines whether a bus transaction to fulfill the first request may be retried and, if so, generates a miss, and otherwise generates a hit. Alternatively, the L2 detects the L1 generated a request to the L2 for the same line and responsively requests the BIU to refrain from performing a transaction on the bus to fulfill the first request if the BIU has not yet been granted the bus. Alternatively, a prefetch cache and the L2 allow the same line to be simultaneously present. If an L1 request hits in both the L2 and in the prefetch cache, the prefetch cache invalidates its copy of the line and the L2 provides the line to the L1.01-13-2011

20090182355Porous barbs for long-term anchoring in the gastrointestinal tract - Gastrointestinal implants in areas such as the esophageal area, the stomach, and the intestinal area are used in the treatment of conditions like obesity and diabetes. An implant including an anchor with barbs having pores, can allow for longer term anchoring. The pores can promote tissue ingrowth from the surrounding tissue that the barb is penetrating, thus advantageously allowing increased stability and longer term anchoring compared to a non-porous barb.07-16-2009

20110084933LAMINATED PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD INDUCTIVE TOUCH SENSOR - A multilayer printed circuit board provides both physical and electrical attributes necessary for creating an inductive touch sensor panel. Inductive sense coils are formed on a surface of first layer of the multilayer printed circuit board. A second layer is used as a spacer between the first layer and a third layer. The first, second and third layers of the multilayer printed circuit board form chambers in which the inductive sense coils are disposed therein. When a force is applied to a portion of the third layer proximate to an inductive sense coil, a metal target on a face of the third layer is biased toward the inductive sense coil and thereby changes the inductance value thereof.04-14-2011
