摘要:
In mesh networks having multiple nodes that communicate data to and from each other, a great number of data transmissions may be initiated and carried out to get data to a proper processing node for execution. To get data where it needs to go (e.g., the proper destination node), a routing algorithm is used to define a set of rules for efficiently passing data from node to node until the destination node is reached. For the purpose of assuring that all data is properly transferred from node to node in a reasonably efficient manner, a routing algorithm may define subsets of nodes into regions and then send data via the regions. Even greater overall efficiency may be realized by recognizing specific adjacency relationships among a group of destination nodes and taking advantage of such adjacencies by rerouting data through regions other than the region in which a destination node resides.

An embodiment comprises includes an apparatus with a housing wearable by a subject and a first sensor operable to detect a position of the subject. An embodiment of the apparatus includes a second sensor operable to detect a body state of the subject, where the first body state may be a vital sign such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature or respiratory rate. The apparatus may also include a wireless module, and be operable to transmit body state data and position data to a remote device. The apparatus may include a gyroscope or an accelerometer, and may be operable to detect rotational change in the subject's position about and axis, linear acceleration of the subject along an axis, a change in position of the subject, or a rate of change in position of the subject.

An embodiment of an instruction pipeline includes first and second sections. The first section is operable to provide first and second ordered instructions, and the second section is operable, in response to the second instruction, to read first data from a data-storage location, is operable, in response to the first instruction, to write second data to the data-storage location after reading the first data, and is operable, in response to the writing the second data after reading the first data, to cause the flushing of a some, but not all, of the pipeline. Such an instruction pipeline may reduce the processing time lost and the energy expended due to a pipeline flush by flushing only a portion of the pipeline instead of flushing the entire pipeline.
