A vector processing unit is described, and includes processor units that each include multiple processing resources. The processor units are each configured to perform arithmetic operations associated with vectorized computations. The vector processing unit includes a vector memory in data communication with each of the processor units and their respective processing resources. The vector memory includes memory banks configured to store data used by each of the processor units to perform the arithmetic operations. The processor units and the vector memory are tightly coupled within an area of the vector processing unit such that data communications are exchanged at a high bandwidth based on the placement of respective processor units relative to one another, and based on the placement of the vector memory relative to each processor unit.

A method and apparatus are disclosed herein for generating and sending priority alert notifications based on medical information, such as, for example, medical information obtained from analyzing medical images. In one embodiment, the method comprises: determining, using an image analysis engine, whether one or more features in a medical image of a patient meet predefined criteria, the predefined criteria being indicative of a medical condition; determining, using the image analysis engine, whether an alert notification is to be sent regarding results of determining whether the one or more features in the medical image meet the predefined criteria; and sending the alert notification with indicia indicative of a priority level if the one or more features in the medical image meet the predefined criteria, including sending medical information that prompted the image analysis engine to send the notification at the priority level.

Priority alerts based on medical information

This invention safeguards the integrity of a machine-printed paper document by entangling a characteristic signature derived from the document's paper grain structure with the identities of the printing device and the person or organization which issued the document. This protection is achieved using a certification phase performed by an augmented document printer and an authentication phase performed by an augmented document scanner. In the certification phase, the grain structure of a specific area of the original paper is imaged and processed to generate a unique signature for the paper. This signature is doubly encrypted using the private keys of the augmented printer and the certifier. These encryption steps entangle the signature of the paper with its source information in a way that thwarts counterfeiting attacks which either copy the document or falsely attribute its source to a specific printer and/or certifier.

This laryngoscope has a cylindrical metal casing serving as a handle. An insulated, plastic blade is rotatably mounted near one end thereof on the casing between angularly spaced operating and nonoperating positions. A blade projects from the blade assembly to depress a patient's tongue. Batteries in the casing apply positive electric polarity to an electrode on the casing and negative electric polarity to the casing. A lensed end lamp having a bulb, base and end terminal is mounted on the blade assembly with the terminal in contact with a leaf spring which in turn contacts the electrode when the assembly is rotated to an operating position. A flange on the casing contacts the lamp base to complete a power supply circuit when the blade assembly is rotated to the operating position for lighting the lamp bulb. A light conductive rod extends from the lamp bulb to project light into the patient's larynix while the blade depresses the patient's tongue. A hook on the blade assembly enables easy mounting of the blade assembly on the casing and easy removal therefrom.
