Publication number: 20190340741Abstract: A system, device, and method for inspecting the cosmetic and operational features of electronic devices, including computing and telecommunications devices. The cosmetic inspection system includes an image capture unit for capturing the images of the electronic devices, and a user interface for processing the captured images and providing relevant information to the user of the system. Images of the external components such as external casing materials or touch screens of electronic devices are captured and the cosmetic inspection system uses baseline images to make determinations to identify defective components of the electronic devices. Based on these determinations, the system may conclude which, if any, replacement components of the devices are needed to restore the electronic device. In one embodiment, a user of the system may then be provided with information through a user interface about defective components and options for ordering replacement components.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2019Publication date: November 7, 2019Inventors: Clark HUMPHREY, Brian MORRIS

Publication number: 20190042944Abstract: Thus, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for training neural networks using a tensor that includes a plurality of FP16 values and a plurality of bits that define an exponent shared by some or all of the FP16 values included in the tensor. The FP16 values may include IEEE 754 format 16-bit floating point values and the tensor may include a plurality of bits defining the shared exponent. The tensor may include a shared exponent and FP16 values that include a variable bit-length mantissa and a variable bit-length exponent that may be dynamically set by processor circuitry. The tensor may include a shared exponent and FP16 values that include a variable bit-length mantissa; a variable bit-length exponent that may be dynamically set by processor circuitry; and a shared exponent switch set by the processor circuitry to selectively combine the FP16 value exponent with the shared exponent.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Krishnakumar Nair, Andrew Yang, Brian Morris

Publication number: 20140019363Abstract: A data processing center computer receives a transaction request from a mobile payment platform (MPP) computer. The transaction request is related to a purchase initiated from an account holder's mobile telephone, and includes a mobile telephone number, a merchant identifier (ID) of a merchant, and a transaction amount. The MPP computer is operated by or on behalf of a service provider having the account holder as a customer. The process also includes translating the account holder's mobile telephone number into the account holder's payment card account number, identifying a merchant acquirer computer, and generating a purchase transaction request including the account holder's payment card account number, the merchant ID, and the transaction amount. The data processing center computer then transmits the purchase transaction request to the merchant acquirer computer for authorization processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2013Publication date: January 16, 2014Applicant: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: Krzysztof Drzyzga, Brian Morris
