Patent GB-2592661-A (GB)
Title: An apparatus and method for performing branch prediction
Inventor: VLADIMIR VASEKIN
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2020-03-05
Abstract: An apparatus has processing circuitry for executing instructions and fetch circuitry for fetching the instructions for execution. When a branch instruction is encountered by the fetch circuitry, it determines subsequent instructions to be fetched in dependence on an initial branch direction prediction for the branch instruction made by branch prediction circuitry. Value prediction circuity is used to maintain a predicted result value for one or more instructions, and dispatch circuitry maintains a record of pending instructions that have been fetched by the fetch circuitry and are awaiting execution by the processing circuitry, and selects pending instructions from the record for dispatch to the processing circuitry. When a given instruction whose predicted result value is maintained by the value prediction circuity has a dependent instruction whose outcome is dependent on a result value of the given instruction, the dispatch circuitry nay be arranged to enable speculative execution of that dependent instruction using the predicted result value of the given instruction. Analysis circuitry is arranged, when the dependent instruction is the branch instruction, to detect a mis-predict condition when an additional branch direction prediction for the branch instruction determined using the predicted result value for the given instruction is considered more accurate that the initial branch direction prediction, and the additional branch direction prediction differs to the initial branch direction prediction. On detection of the mis-predict condition, a control signal is issued to indicate that the branch instruction has been mis-predicted.

Abstract: A vacuum therapy device, for treating an abscess or other internal defect, comprises a porous medium 140 coupled to the distal part of a suction tube 120, and a constraining sleeve 160 movable to selectively compress and expand the porous medium. The device may be delivered via an endoscope channel or nasal insertion applicator, or the sleeve may itself form a nasal applicator. The sleeve may be insertable into the nasal passage, retaining the porous mesh or foam in a compressed state, before allowing it to expand, e.g. in the throat or gastrointestinal tract, with the device subsequently retrieved via the patient’s mouth. The sleeve may be moved using a grip or tab and may have a low-friction lining. To expand the foam in situ, the sleeve may be movable into a treatment position, or torn or detached, e.g. over the end of the tube. The sleeve may be vacuum shrinkable so that compression of the porous medium involves placing the sleeve over it and applying suction to the tube. The porous medium may be packed into the sleeve using a funnel, e.g. of U-shaped or C-shaped cross-section for ease of removal from the suction tube.

IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2019-08-09
Abstract: A combination of match-based and graph-based scoring techniques are used to derive accurate relative rankings for a number of similar vehicles or other items based on user input. The resulting ranking system can advantageously provide meaningful feedback to consumers, even in the presence of large variations in the number and mix of side-by-side comparisons. This scoring engine can be further improved through techniques such as limiting feedback to binary choices in a side-by-side comparison between two specific items, and preconditioning the receipt of user input on a user assertion of first-hand knowledge of the items being compared.
