  • Publication number: 20230314090
    Abstract: Improved vapor chambers are provided using monolithic wick structures having deep features (?150 um) and two or more different feature heights above the substrate. Such monolithic multi-level wick structures provide improved performance in vapor chambers by alleviating the tradeoff between fluid transport (which favors tall pin-fins) and heat transfer (which favors short pin-fins).

  • Publication number: 20230244528
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method, system, and computer program product for service update management. The method, during a first update procedure for a first service in a computing system, in response to a detection that the first update procedure fails, a state of a second service on which the first service depends in the computing system is checked. In response to the second service being in a first state, the first update procedure is suspended. Resources allocated to the first update procedure by the computing system are released. The released resources are allocated to the second update procedure of the second service. The second update procedure is implemented based on the allocated released resources. With these embodiments, failures during the update procedures for the services may be automatically detected and removed based on a dependency relationship between the services. Therefore, the performance of the update procedures may be increased.

  • Patent number: 11714152
    Abstract: Images are reconstructed from undersampled k-space data using a residual machine learning algorithm (e.g., a ResNet architecture) to estimate missing k-space lines from acquired k-space data with improved noise resilience. Using a residual machine learning algorithm provides for combining the advantages of both linear and nonlinear k-space reconstructions. The linear residual connection can implement a convolution that estimates most of the energy in k-space, and the multi-layer machine learning algorithm can be implemented with nonlinear activation functions to estimate imperfections, such as noise amplification due to coil geometry, that arise from the linear component.

  • Publication number: 20230214634
    Abstract: A spiking neural network acceleration method includes constructing an approximate computation model according to a spiking neuron model and a spiking coding mode. The approximate computation model utilizes the characteristic that spiking frequency domain coding ignores the time semantics of a spiking sequence, compresses the distribution of spiking signals on a time step, and greatly reduces a spiking routing process and a subsequent neural computation process. The time-driven accelerator replans the computation process of the spiking neural network, sets a deduplication queue and a bitmap to solve the problem of spiking jitter, and realizes efficient support on the inhibitory spiking neural network.
