20140143780 | PRIORITY-ASSIGNMENT INTERFACE TO ENHANCE APPROXIMATE COMPUTING - A system and method are provided for enhancing approximate computing by a computer system. In one example, an interface is provided comprising a variable-identifier module and a bit-priority module. The variable-identifier module is configured to identify one or more variables of data that are to be processed by the computer system with approximate precision. Approximate precision is a precision level at which a hardware device does not guarantee full data-correctness for the one or more variables. The bit-priority module is configured to assign bit-priorities to the one or more variables. The bit-priorities include relative levels of importance among bits of each of the one or more variables. The relative levels of importance include at least high-priority bits and low-priority bits. | 05-22-2014 |
20140258593 | APPROXIMATE MULTI-LEVEL CELL MEMORY OPERATIONS - The present technology relaxes the precision (or full data-correctness-guarantees) requirements in memory operations, such as writing or reading, of MLC memories so that an application may write and read a digital data value as an approximate value. Types of MLCs include Flash MLC and MLC Phase Change Memory (PCM) as well as other resistive technologies. Many software applications may not need the accuracy or precision typically used to store and read data values. For example, an application may render an image on a relatively low resolution display and may not need an accurate data value for each pixel. By relaxing the precision or correctness requirements is a memory operation, MLC memories may have increased performance, lifetime, density, and/or energy efficiency. | 09-11-2014 |

20130056212 | PERFORATING STIMULATING BULLET - A method and device for fracturing a subterranean formation by projecting a bullet assembly into the formation and then reacting energetic material within the bullet assembly. The bullet assembly can be part of a charge device that is in a perforating gun. A delay fuse can be included so the energetic material reaction begins after the bullet assembly reaches the end of its travel in the formation. | 03-07-2013 |

20140186456 | Tripartite Bioactive Composition Providing Anti-Oxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects with Immune System and Stem Cell Production Enhancement - The inventive tripartite composition is a combination of fucoidan, trans-resveratrol, and bovine colostrum in effective quantities, in the range of from 1:1.5:1.5 to 1:10:10 in weight percent. This composition provides antioxidant protection of cells against free radicals, strengthens the immune system, and enhances cellular function and stem cell population, thereby providing renewal and repair throughout the body. The inventive composition can be administered by capsules, but is preferably applied in liquid form to the oral cavity, such as by sublingual dropper or by intraoral spray. This sublingual, intraoral application method of administration provides maximum absorption, thus minimizing cost, avoiding inactive ingredients that are present in tablets and capsules, increasing consumer convenience, acid eliminating stomach irritation. | 07-03-2014 |
