Filed:

Apr 4, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/439715

Inventors:

Daniel Z. Wetmore - San Francisco CA, US
Todd O. Anderson - San Francisco CA, US
Robert J. Barretto - New York NY, US
Alexander F. A. Butterwick - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Sheepdog Sciences, Inc. - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

G09B 9/00

US Classification:

434236, 434238

Abstract:

Devices, systems and methods to modify memory and/or cognitive function by delivering a sensory stimulus paired with learned material at opportune physiological periods during sleep. For example, described herein are systems, methods and devices to enhance a user's cognitive function in such areas as memorization and learning. A machine (e. g. , a system or device) may be used to identify opportune periods of the sleep cycle and to deliver a stimulus during specific phases of the sleep cycle to facilitate or interrupt memory consolidation. In some variations the machine records ambient sensory inputs during awake acquisition or reinforcement/relearning and replays all or an extracted form of the ambient sensory stimuli a specified portion of the user's sleep.

Abstract:

Devices, systems and methods to modify memory and/or cognitive function by delivering a sensory stimulus paired with learned material at opportune physiological periods during sleep. Described herein are systems, methods and devices to enhance a user's cognitive function in memorization and learning. A machine (e.g., a system or device) may be used to identify opportune periods of the sleep cycle and to deliver a stimulus during specific phases of the sleep cycle to facilitate or interrupt memory consolidation. The machine may record ambient sensory inputs during awake acquisition or reinforcement/relearning and replay all or an extracted form of the ambient sensory stimuli during a specified portion of the user's sleep. A stimulus may be delivered to a user to affect brain activity during sleep to modulate the phase of a user's sleep, quality of sleep, and/or quality or intensity of brain rhythms during a particular phase of sleep.

Appl. No.:

14/946200

Inventors:

Hongbo Rong - San Jose CA, US
Jongsoo Park - Santa Clara CA, US
Todd A. Anderson - Hillsboro OR, US

International Classification:

G06F 9/45

Abstract:

Technologies for automatic reordering of sparse matrices include a computing device to determine a distributivity of an expression defined in a code region of a program code. The expression is determined to be distributive if semantics of the expression are unaffected by a reordering of an input/output of the expression. The computing device performs inter-dependent array analysis on the expression to determine one or more clusters of inter-dependent arrays of the expression, wherein each array of a cluster of the one or more clusters is inter-dependent on each other array of the cluster, and performs bi-directional data flow analysis on the code region by iterative backward and forward propagation of reorderable arrays through expressions in the code region based on the one or more clusters of the inter-dependent arrays. The backward propagation is based on a backward transfer function and the forward propagation is based on a forward transfer function.

Abstract:

Technologies for generating composable library functions include a first computing device that includes a library compiler configured to compile a composable library and second computing device that includes an application compiler configured to compose library functions of the composable library based on a plurality of abstractions written at different levels of abstractions. For example, the abstractions may include an algorithm abstraction at a high level, a blocked-algorithm abstraction at medium level, and a region-based code abstraction at a low level. Other embodiments are described and claimed herein.
