Publication number: 20240153555Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for employing analog content addressable memory (aCAMs) to achieve low latency complex distribution sampling. For example, an aCAM core circuit can include an aCAM array. Amplitudes of a probability distribution function are mapped to a width of one or more aCAM cells in each row of the aCAM array. The aCAM core circuit can also include a resistive random access memory (RRAM) storing lookup information, such as information used for processing a model. By randomly selecting columns to search of the aCAM array, the mapped probability distribution function is sampled in a manner that has low latency. The aCAM core circuit can accelerate the sampling step in methods relying on sampling from arbitrary probability distributions, such as particle filter techniques. A hardware architecture for an aCAM Particle Filter that utilizes the aCAM core circuit as a central structure is also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Catherine Graves, Giacomo Pedretti, Sergey Serebryakov, John Paul Strachan

Publication number: 20050214449Abstract: A lactone solvent swell composition and method of using the composition. The lactone swell composition is used to condition resinous material for etching to form a porous textured surface on the resinous material. The porous texture permits the deposition of a metal on the resinous material such that a high integrity bond is formed between the textured resinous material and the deposited metal. Such a bond between the metal and the resinous material prevents de-lamination of the metal and resin bond. The lactone solvent swell compositions also desmear resin material from substrates. The lactone solvent swell compositions may be employed to treat resinous material used in the manufacture of printed wiring boards. Metal may be deposited on the textured resinous material by electroless plating.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2004Publication date: September 29, 2005Applicant: Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials, L.L.C.Inventors: Deborah Hirst, Mark Poole, Susan Green, Inna Sinitskaya, John Graves

Publication number: 20040230578Abstract: Independent and individual requests are aggregated and presented as a single request to a resource management system. The response from the resource management system is subsequently resolved back to the individual requests. The requesters generate multiple independent requests. The server receives such requests and sorts them into classes of requests, which are capable of being aggregated and processed as a single request by a resource management system. Parameters are pulled from the individual requests and used in the aggregated request.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2004Publication date: November 18, 2004Applicant: Convey Development, Inc.Inventors: John Graves, Viktor Poteryakhin
