Latest Patents

Dreyer's latest patents include a "System and method for performing an insert-extract instruction." This invention describes an apparatus and method for performing an insert-extract operation on packed data using computer-implemented steps. In one embodiment, a first data operand having a data element is accessed, followed by accessing a second packed data operand with at least two data elements. The data element in the first data operand can be inserted into any destination field of a destination register, or alternatively, a data element can be extracted from any field of the source register. Another notable patent is the "Method and apparatus for retrofit mounting a VLSI chip to a computer chassis for current supply." This invention provides a solution for mounting a Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chip, such as a microprocessor, on the back plane of a computer chassis. It is designed to ensure a current supply connection for delivering a high level of current to the microprocessor from a current source through the computer chassis. Additionally, it addresses heat dissipation from the VLSI chip to the ambient environment through the chassis.
