A method for forwarding operands directly between instructions operates in a computer central processing unit. Values for registers, condition codes, stack locations and memory storage locations are routed directly from the program instructions or microcode that alter them to the instructions that use those operands. Instructions that have received all needed operands are started and their resulti...

The present invention provides for novel reagents whose fluorescence increases in the presence of particular proteases. The reagents comprise a characteristically folded peptide backbone each end of which is conjugated to a fluorophore. When the folded peptide is cleaved, as by digestion with a protease, the fluorophores provide a high intensity fluorescent signal at a visible wavelength. Because ...

A decoder capable of decoding audio signals encoded using analog noise reduction techniques, particularly Dolby SR, is implemented by means of digital signal processing. The typical decoding paradigm used by analog Dolby SR decoders is modified to overcome the problems caused by delay which is introduced by the digital implementation. A gain factor is factored out of the feedback transfer function...

A decoder capable of decoding audio signals encoded using analog noise reduction techniques, particularly Dolby A, is implemented by means of digital signal processing. The encoded signal passes through one or more digital filters, producing the decoded signal. The decoded signal is fed back to drive control blocks, which determine the parameters of the digital filters. The determination of these ...
