Further, the monitoring logic makes use of a Bloom filter which, for a value to be reviewed, performs a hash operation on that value in order to reference the configuration data to determine whether that value is either definitely not a value within the range or is potentially a value within the range of values. If the value is determined to be within the set of values, then a trigger signal is generated which can be used to trigger a further monitoring process. | 02-12-2009 |
20100122044 | Data dependency scoreboarding - A parallel processing technique is described for performing parallel processing operations upon N-dimensional arrays of data elements for which a corresponding N-dimensional Scoreboard of status data is held. Hazard checking for data dependencies upon data elements within the N-dimensional array of data elements is performed by looking up the corresponding status value within the Scoreboard. The status data for a given data element within the Scoreboard is located at a position which can be derived from the position of the data elements within its N-dimensional array. Thus, a two-dimensional array of video macroblocks can have a corresponding two-dimensional Scoreboard of status data indicating whether individual macroblocks have, for example, either already been deblocked or have not already been deblocked. | 05-13-2010 |

20080264787 | ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL - An electrochemical cell for detection and quantification of analytes in a liquid sample, particularly a liquid sample having a small volume. In a preferred embodiment, the electrochemical cell comprises an assembly of conducting layers and insulating layers. The electrochemical cell can be formed by depositing conducting materials and insulating materials in alternating layers on an insulating substrate. It is preferred that the layer furthest from the insulating substrate be an insulating layer to minimize the damage of the conducting layers during handling of the electrochemical cell. In another embodiment, the assembly of conducting layers and insulating layers can be formed on both major surfaces of the insulating substrate. The assembly can comprise at least one working electrode and at least one other electrode, e.g., a dual-purpose reference/counter electrode. | 10-30-2008 |
20090211905 | ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL - An electrochemical cell for detection and quantification of analytes in a liquid sample, particularly a liquid sample having a small volume. In a preferred embodiment, the electrochemical cell comprises an assembly of conducting layers and insulating layers. The electrochemical cell can be formed by depositing conducting materials and insulating materials in alternating layers on an insulating substrate. It is preferred that the layer furthest from the insulating substrate be an insulating layer to minimize the damage of the conducting layers during handling of the electrochemical cell. A passage can be formed through the conducting layers and the insulating layers to expose the edges of the layers, which collectively form the wall or walls of the passage. The exposed edges of the conducting layers form the electrodes of the electrochemical cell. The electrochemical cell comprises at least one working electrode and at least one other electrode, e.g., a dual-purpose reference/counter electrode. In another embodiment, the assembly of conducting layers and insulating layers can be formed on both major surfaces of the insulating substrate. The assembly can comprise at least one working electrode and at least one other electrode, e.g., a dual-purpose reference/counter electrode. | 08-27-2009 |
