Implementations described herein relate to providing suggestions, via a display modality, for completing a spoken utterance for an automated assistant, in order to reduce a frequency and/or a length of time that the user will participate in a current and/or subsequent dialog session with the automated assistant. A user request can be compiled from content of an ongoing spoken utterance and content of any selected suggestion elements. When a currently compiled portion of the user request (from content of a selected suggestion(s) and an incomplete spoken utterance) is capable of being performed via the automated assistant, any actions corresponding to the currently compiled portion of the user request can be performed via the automated assistant. Furthermore, any further content resulting from performance of the actions, along with any discernible context, can be used for providing further suggestions.

A self-contained electro-mechanical device incorporating a hand crank wound main spring mechanism coupled with gears to a rotating magnet inside an iron core with wound copper wire for the purpose of generating electricity. An external AC adaptor can use the generator as a motor to wind the main spring without the need to use the hand crank. An internal electronic circuit is connected to the motor/generator and mechanically coupled using a unique solenoid and clutch mechanism to prevent the main spring from turning until an external load is detected. When packaged in the form of two standard C or D size batteries this invention can be installed into devices currently using electro-chemical batteries. An internal LED light enables the device to be used as a self-contained flashlight. A mini USB connector is incorporated for charging cell phones and powering numerous devices compatible with USB power.

Embodiments relate to loading data in a pipelined microprocessor. An aspect includes issuing a load request that comprises a load address requiring at least one block of data the same size as a largest contiguous granularity of data returned from a cache. Another aspect includes determining that the load address matches at least one block address. Another aspect includes, based on determining that there is an address match, reading a data block from a buffer register and sending the data to satisfy the load request; comparing a unique set id of the data block to the set id of the matching address after sending the data block; based on determining that there is a set id match, continuing the load request, or, based on determining that there is not a set id match, setting a store-forwarding state of the matching address to no store-forwarding and rejecting the load request.

Store data forwarding with no memory model restrictions

A pipelined microprocessor includes circuitry for store forwarding by performing: for each store request, and while a write to one of a cache and a memory is pending; obtaining the most recent value for at least one complete block of data; merging store data from the store request with the complete block of data thus updating the block of data and forming a new most recent value and an updated complete block of data; and buffering the updated complete block of data into a store data queue; for each load request, where the load request may require at least one updated completed block of data: determining if store forwarding is appropriate for the load request on a block-by-block basis; if store forwarding is appropriate, selecting an appropriate block of data from the store data queue on a block-by-block basis; and forwarding the selected block of data to the load request.

A three dimensional (3D) stereoscopic display system using large format light emitting diodes (LEDs) for displaying 3D image content. The apparatus comprises a grid of LEDs covered by two sheets of polarizing material, a first sheet of polarizing material for polarizing a first subset of the LEDs to form a first view of the 3D image, and a second sheet of polarizing material for polarizing the second subset of LEDs to form a second view of the 3D image. The sheets may be formed by cutting a plurality of openings substantially aligned with a corresponding subset of LEDs. For improved viewing, the apparatus may further comprise a rear diffuser, disposed between the LED display and the first sheet of polarizing material. Also for improved viewing, the apparatus may further comprise a front diffuser, disposed in front of the second sheet of polarizing material, for reducing glare from external light sources. Also an additional method of the application of individual polarizing buttons directly adhered to the individual LEDs incorporating an assembly key for maintaining the correct orientation of the polarizing material.

A pipelined processor includes circuitry adapted for store forwarding, including: for each store request, and while a write to one of a cache and a memory is pending; obtaining the most recent value for at least one block of data; merging store data from the store request with the block of data thus updating the block of data and forming a new most recent value and an updated complete block of data; and buffering the updated block of data into a store data queue; for each additional store request, where the additional store request requires at least one updated block of data: determining if store forwarding is appropriate for the additional store request on a block-by-block basis; if store forwarding is appropriate, selecting an appropriate block of data from the store data queue on a block-by-block basis; and forwarding the selected block of data to the additional store request.

Microprocessor and method for deferred store data forwarding for store background data in a system with no memory model restrictions

Asynchronous behavior of a circuit is modeled by modifying latches in a netlist to add an extra port to the latches, e.g., a single-port latch is transformed into a dual-port latch. Each input port has an enable line and a data input. The data input in the added port is a feedback line from the latch output, and the enable line in the added port is the logical NOR of all of the original enable lines. By adding this extra latch port in the higher-level model, it becomes possible to introduce assertion logic to ensure that one and only one latch port for a given latch is ever active during the same simulation cycle. The model can then be tested earlier in the design methodology prior to the availability of the post-synthesis netlist. The model can also be used in both simulation and formal or semi-formal verification.

Primary colors red, green and blue are each transmitted in three adjacent frequencies to create stereoscopic 3D images. A true center frequency for each primary color is transmitted to one eye while two straddling frequencies, on either side of the center frequency, are transmitted to the other eye. Untinted, notch filtered stereoscopic 3D eyeglasses may be used to segregate light frequencies and direct one channel to each eye of the viewer. A new dual channel laser illumination projection engine may be used to homogenize, condense, combine, and polarize light from red, blue and green lasers to create stereoscopic images suitable for projection on either white of sliver screens.
