Patent number: 11345030Abstract: Methods and apparatus for complex assembly via autonomous robots using reinforcement learning action primitives are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a construction manager and a movement manager. The construction manager is to determine sequences of reinforcement learning (RL) action primitives based on object location goals and associated assembly goals determined for respective ones of objects depicted in an imaged assembly of objects.

Patent number: 10448415Abstract: Techniques disclosed for accurately predicting the occurrence of anomalous sensor readings within a sensor network and advantageously using these predictions to limit the amount of power used by relay nodes within the sensor network. Some examples analyze spatial and temporal characteristics of anomalous sensor readings to predict future occurrences. In these examples, the relay nodes operate in a reduced power mode for periods of time in which anomalous sensor readings are not predicted to occur. Also, in these examples, only relay nodes in a path between a sensor predicting an anomalous reading and a gateway of the sensor network operate in full power mode. This feature allows other relay nodes to remain in the reduced power mode even when an anomalous sensor reading is predicted elsewhere in the sensor network.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Venkataraman Natarajan, Apoorv Vyas, Jaroslaw J.

Patent number: 9143961Abstract: A switching matrix and testing platform may enable controlled testing of various configurations of radio access networks (RANs) at various signal strengths. The switching matrix and testing platform may enable testing of the radio frequency (RF) signals from RANs or telecommunications devices for new and/or predetermined scenarios, such as using different configurations of the RANs at various signal strengths. During a scenario, various operations may be performed on the telecommunications device in communication with the tested RF signals, such as making voice calls, transmitting and receiving data (messages, videos, music, etc.). A performance of the telecommunications device and/or various telecommunication network elements may be analyzed in comparison to other telecommunications device and/or various telecommunication network elements.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Venkataraman Natarajan, Arun Ananth Bhatji, Mathew Samuel, David Ross Jenkinson

Publication number: 20140351485Abstract: An approach is described to overcome the rapid consumption of available flash space when frequently modifying files stored on the flash space. This “differential” sector approach determines the correlation between the new content and the old content, and saves only the “delta” part of the old and the new content to the sectorized memory device. A predetermined threshold can be used to determine whether to use the “differential” sector approach or the fixed sector approach, based on the amount of data change in a given memory access request.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2013Publication date: November 27, 2014Applicant: Spansion LLCInventors: Shulan DENG, Stephan Rosner, Venkataraman Natarajan

Publication number: 20050246501Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing selective caching in network processing and other contexts. In one embodiment, upon receipt of a processor's request for a data item, a determination is made as to whether the data item is stored in the processor's cache. If the data item is not stored in the cache, then the data item is retrieved from an external memory unit. If the retrieved data item meets certain predefined criteria, the data item is stored in the cache, where it replaces a least recently used cache entry. In one embodiment, the criteria that is used to determine whether data will be cached is whether the data is associated with a data connection having at least a predefined capacity. In one such embodiment, the predefined capacity is selected such that a cache hit multiplier is optimized.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2004Publication date: November 3, 2005Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Vishal Batra, Venkataraman Natarajan
