Abstract:
Embodiments of a system including a remotely controlled substance delivery device and associated controller are described. Methods of use and control of the device are also disclosed. According to some embodiments, a delivery device or related device may be placed in an environment in order to pump a material into the environment or into an additional fluid handling structure within the device. Exemplary environments include a body of an organism, a body of water, or an enclosed volume of a fluid. The concentration of a substance in the fluid to be delivered may be modified by a remote control signal. In selected embodiments, a magnetic field, an electric field, or electromagnetic control signal may be used.

Abstract:
Apparatuses, methods and systems are described that are configured to act on a heading-dependent suitability indicator of a channel through a mobile communication system that can have a defined heading, such as a passenger vehicle or other motor-propelled vehicle. The indicator may also use other determinants such as a latitude and longitude of the system.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a device and a method. In an embodiment, a device provides a resource manager operable to select a resource management policy likely to provide a substantially optimum execution of an instruction group by comparing an execution of the instruction group pursuant to a first resource management policy applied to a hardware resource and an execution of the instruction group pursuant to a second resource management policy applied to the hardware resource.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a device, and a method. In an embodiment, a device includes a microengine operatively coupled with a processor having an instruction set. The microengine includes a microengine operable gather data in a manner transparent to software executing on the processor and corresponding to a runtime execution of at least a portion of the instruction set by the processor. The microengine is also operable to create a runtime-based optimization profile utilizing the gathered dynamic data and which is useable in a subsequent execution of the at least of a portion of the instruction set by the processor.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a device, apparatus, and a method. In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a first processor operable to execute a program. The apparatus also includes an information store configured by an execution-based optimization profile, the execution-based optimization profile usable in an execution of the program and that was created utilizing data collected during a runtime execution of the program by a second processor and transparent to software executing on the second processor. The apparatus further includes an execution-optimization circuit operable to alter an execution of the program by the first processor in response to the execution-based optimization profile.
Abstract:
