A system and method to provide haptic and visual feedback of motion of the skier foot and the forces transmitted to the skiboot insole and consequently to the ski/snow interface. This system comprises a motion and force sensors and a haptic actuator embedded in the skiboot insole in communication with a smart-phone based analysis application, configured to calculate insole motion and orientation and the distribution of pressure points inside the skiboot, then to provide haptic feedback to the skier foot instructing on timing and direction of change in the pressure points necessary to achieve optimal turn parameters. Furthermore, analyzed together with GPS coordinates are transmitted by the application to the cloud based server for further processing. Graphical and numerical representation of data is superimposed over a 3D map of a slope which may be viewed on the user smart-phone or on a remote computer terminal.

A method and apparatus for controlling of ski vibration consisting an accelerator/actuator sub-system attached to the ski and a adaptive vibration control application residing in the user smart-phone and communicating with the accelerometer/actuator sub-system over Bluetooth radio interface is disclosed. The adaptive vibration control application extracts vibration frequencies and amplitudes from signal received from an accelerometer, separates such frequencies according to their types&#x2014;bending or torsional, and after thresholding and scaling by the ski calibration parameters and by the user desired ski response, apply such signal to the control loop and consequently to the actuators to provide vibration dampening force. In one embodiment, such actuators are attached to the ski, while in another embodiment such actuators are embedded into the ski.

A method, apparatus, and system permits an access terminal ('AT') for a multi-carrier CDMA wireless communication system to concurrently receive data on N different-frequency carriers while restricting one or more parameters that affect data reception rate, so that limited resources of the AT will be sufficient to properly process data packets on the N carriers. The data rate controlling parameter may be 'I,' the number of supported H-ARQ channels for one or more of the N carriers. A relationship may be defined between the number of supported forward and/or reverse link carriers, versus the number of supported H-ARQ channels and/or other data rate controlling parameters. Messages may enable identification of AT characteristics, and configuration and/or dynamic re-configuration of AT data communication capabilities that are related to different values of N and corresponding different data rate controlling parameters.

Prefetching data to a low level memory of a computer system is accomplished utilizing an instruction location indicator related to an upcoming instruction to identify a next data prefetch indicator and then utilizing the next data prefetch indicator to locate the corresponding prefetch data within the memory of the computer system. The prefetch data is located so that the prefetch data can be transferred to a primary cache where the data can be quickly fetched by a processor when the upcoming instruction is executed. The next data prefetch indicator is generated by carrying out the addressing mode function that is embedded in an instruction only when the addressing mode of the instruction is a deterministic addressing mode such as a sequential. The next data prefetch indicator, preferably in the form of an effective address, is identified by the instruction location indicator, preferably in the form of a program counter, by relating calculated next effective addresses to corresponding program counter tags in a searchable table.

Dynamic data prefetching based on program counter and addressing mode

A data processing system and method for arranging and accessing information that crosses cache lines utilize dual cache columns. The dual cache columns are formed of two access-related cache lines. The two cache columns contain sequential information that is stored in cache lines in a sequential and alternating format. A processor makes a request for a particular instruction. An instruction fetch unit takes the instruction request and creates a second instruction request in addition to the first instruction request. The two instruction requests are sent simultaneously to first and second content addressable memories (CAMs) respectively associated with the first and second cache columns. The CAMs are simultaneously searched and any cache hits are forwarded to a switch. The switch combines the relevant portions of the two cache lines and delivers the desired instruction to a processor. A method of accessing and distributing stored data in a computer system is also described. The method includes generating the data to be distributed by combining relevant segments from simultaneously accessed first and second cache lines.
