Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for multithreaded data flow processing within a reconfigurable fabric. Code is obtained for performing data manipulation within a reconfigurable fabric. The code is segmented into a plurality of data manipulation operations. A first segment from the segmenting is allocated to a first set of processing elements within a plurality of processing elements comprising a reconfigurable fabric. A second segment from the segmenting is allocated to a second set of processing elements within the reconfigurable fabric. The first segment is executed on the first set of processing elements while the second segment is executed on the second set of processing elements. The first kernel and the second kernel comprise multithreaded operation.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for remote usage of machine learned layers by a second machine learning construct. Layers determined within a first machine learning construct are sent to the second construct. A first data group is obtained in a first locality. The first data group is applied to a first localized machine learning construct. A first set of convolutional layers is determined within the first localized machine learning construct based on the first data group, where the first set of convolutional layers comprises a first data flow graph machine. Similarity is adjudicated between the first localized machine learning construct and a second localized machine learning construct. The first set of convolutional layers is sent to the second localized machine learning construct, based on the similarity that was adjudicated meeting a threshold. A second data group is analyzed by the second localized machine learning construct using the first set of convolutional layers.

Abstract: A storage apparatus is provided. The storage apparatus defines a storage cavity having an opening at the upper surface of the storage apparatus with a substantially planar flange extending outwardly from the opening of the storage cavity and defines a plurality of support structures, each support structure (a) having an opening at the upper surface of the storage apparatus and (b) adapted to support the storage apparatus.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a filter, wherein the filter comprises a filter body formed of a porous filtration material and a plastic support structure, the method including performing a first additive manufacturing step to form an initial portion of the support structure; positioning filtration material above or on the initial portion; performing a second additive manufacturing step to form a secondary portion of the support structure such that the filtration material is between the initial and secondary portions. Additionally, the filter body can be enclosed by positioning a first portion of the filtration material to overlay a second portion of the filtration material; and connecting the first portion of the filtration material to the second portion of the filtration material to define a pocket within the filter body, the support structure configured to maintain spacing between the first and second portions of the filtration material.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a coke drum module, the coke drum module includes a support frame. A coke drum is disposed within the support frame. A strut is removably connected to the support frame and the coke drum. The strut becomes unloaded responsive to the coke drum contacting a support pad. The coke drum module further includes a compression member removably connected to the support frame and the coke drum. The compression member is oriented generally perpendicularly to the strut. A rigid connection is present between the coke drum and the support frame during transportation of the coke drum module. Upon removal of the strut and the compression member, the rigid connection is not present.
