Fluid delivery device for use with anastomosing resecting and stapling instruments

A fibrin injection mechanism for use in combination with an anastomosing and stapling attachment for an electromechanical device driver comprises a cylindrical dispensing chamber adjacent the cylindrical blade of the attachment and containing a sac filled with fibrin, a plurality of channels extending within the blade communicating between the dispensing chamber and the cutting edge of the blade, such that when the turning drive shaft is activated, the staple driver of the attachment moves forward to push a plurality of staples through corresponding staple ports and against the anvil of the attachment to pass through and staple together the target tissue, while the blade driver of the attachment moves forward to cut the unwanted residual tissue (post stapling), while a plunger (delivery) driver moves forward through the dispensing chamber to compress the sac to its break point, releasing the fluid medication into the dispensing chamber, and eventually pushing the medication though the channels to deliver the fibrin to the cutting edge of the blade and thus to the site of the newly stapled target tissue to accelerate the healing process.

Secure execution of unsecured apps on a device

An app is secured on a mobile device by being deconstructed or unbundled into multiple modules, where a module is a segment of app code that performs a particular function. It is then determined which modules from the multiple modules perform some type of security function, for example, a function dealing with confidential or security-related data. These modules, forming a group of modules, are loaded into a trusted execution environment. The app is then re-bundled so that it has the first plurality of modules and the second plurality of modules. The app executes in a manner where the high security functions execute so that break points cannot be inserted into the app code. The re-bundling is done automatically in an app security wrapping process. Security constraints are added to the app.

Crop yield prediction

Crop yield may be assessed and predicted using a piecewise linear regression method with break point and various weather and agricultural parameters, such as NDVI, surface parameters (soil moisture and surface temperature) and rainfall data. These parameters may help aid in estimating and predicting crop conditions. The overall crop production environment can include inherent sources of heterogeneity and their nonlinear behavior. A non-linear multivariate optimization method may be used to derive an empirical crop yield prediction equation. Quasi-Newton method may be used in optimization for minimizing inconsistencies and errors in yield prediction. Minimization of least square loss function through iterative convergence of pre-defined empirical equation can be based on piecewise linear regression method with break point. This non-linear method can achieve acceptable lower residual values with predicted values very close to the observed values. The present invention can be modified and tailored for different crops worldwide.

Suspend-resume programming method for flash memory

In a non-volatile memory, a programming cycle consists of the following phases: high voltage charging up, programming pulse, and discharge. The actual programming process only takes place in the programming pulse phase. Several break points are defined relative to elapsed time and introduced in the programming pulse phase. Upon receiving a suspend request, the programming operation will advance to the next break point, then discharge the high programming voltage and go to a suspend state. A separate counter is used to monitor the break points so that elapsed non-programming time can be deducted from the total programming pulse time when the programming operation is resumed. By doing so, the device can handle frequent suspend and resume requests. Since the total time duration in the programming pulse phase is equal for the programming operation with and without suspend and resume requests, the programming proceeds efficiently to completion.

Providing break points in a malware scanning operation

A computer virus scanning system is described in which during the scanning operation a measurement value indicative of the amount of data processing performed is calculated and this measurement value used to trigger breaks in the virus scanning operation. The triggered breaks can be used to perform a determination as to whether or not the virus scanning operations should be early terminated. One possibility is to measure the total size of the data processed during the virus scanning operation and calculate a ratio of this compared to the size of the computer file being virus scanned. If this calculated ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold, then virus scanning may be terminated. Another possibility is to associate a complexity value with each of a plurality of tests applied in the virus scanning operation. A total for these complexity values may be used to trigger the breaks and also to trigger early termination upon exceeding of respective threshold levels.

Ranked break points and method for debugging a computer program

Ranked breakpoints are defined in a computer program that allow a debugger to determine whether or not to halt execution of the computer program when a ranked breakpoint is encountered based on the rank of the breakpoint compared to a threshold rank. In a preferred embodiment, the threshold rank is the rank of a RunTo function, and the ranked breakpoints only halt execution of the computer program if their rank is higher than the threshold rank of the RunTo function. The present invention thus provides a mechanism for ignoring some or all breakpoints in a computer program when performing debugger functions, such as a RunTo function.
