Lumen-traveling biological interface devices capable of traveling within a body lumen may include a propelling mechanism to produce movement of the lumen-traveling device within the lumen, electrodes or other electromagnetic transducers for detecting biological signals and electrodes, coils or other electromagnetic transducers for delivering electromagnetic stimuli to stimulus responsive tissues. Lumen-traveling biological interface devices may also include additional components such as sensors, an active portion, and/or control circuitry.
Abstract:
Lumen-traveling devices capable of controlled material release and associated methods and systems are described. Lumen-traveling devices capable of traveling within a body lumen may include a propelling mechanism to produce movement of the lumen-traveling device within the lumen, as well as additional components such as a sensor, a material release portion, and/or control circuitry. In some embodiments, a sensor may be used to detect a local condition, and a material may be released from the device in response.

Abstract:
Embodiments include a controller apparatus, a computerized apparatus, a device, an apparatus, and a method. A controller-apparatus includes a monitoring circuit for detecting a computational error corresponding to an execution of an instruction of a sequence of instructions by a processor subsystem having an adjustable operating parameter. The controller apparatus also includes a recovery circuit for rolling back an execution of the sequence of instructions to a checkpoint in response to the detected computational error. The controller apparatus further includes a control circuit for adjusting the adjustable operating parameter in response to a performance criterion.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a computer processor-error controller, a computerized device, a device, an apparatus, and a method. A computer processor-error controller includes a monitoring circuit operable to detect a computational error corresponding to an execution of a second instruction by a processor operable to execute a sequence of program instructions that includes a first instruction that is fetched before the second instruction. The computer processor-error controller includes an error recovery circuit operable to restore an execution of the sequence of program instructions to the first instruction in response to the detected computational error.
Abstract:
Embodiments include a device, and a method. In an embodiment, a device includes a processor operable to execute an instruction set, a communications link exposed to an execution-optimization synthesizer and to the processor, and the execution-optimization synthesizer.
