  • Patent number: 12154025
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing GPU memory allocation for high-performance applications such as deep learning (DL) computing. For example, a DL task is executed using GPU resources (GPU device and GPU memory) to process a DL model having functional layers that are processed in a predefined sequence. A current functional layer of the DL model is invoked and processed using the GPU device. In response to the invoking, a data compression operation is performed to compress data of a previous functional layer of the DL model, and store the compressed data in the GPU memory. Responsive to the invoking, compressed data of a next functional layer of the DL model is accessed from the GPU memory and a data decompression operation is performed to decompress the compressed data for subsequent processing of the next functional layer of the DL model by the GPU device.

  • Patent number: 12153177
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a system and method for generating images and location data of a subsurface object using existing infrastructure as a source. Many infrastructure objects (e.g., pipes, cables, conduits, wells, foundation structures) are constructed of rigid materials and have a known shape and location. Additionally these infrastructure objects can have exposed portions that are above or near the surface and readily accessible. A signal generator can be affixed to the exposed portion of the infrastructure object, which induces acoustic energy, or vibrations in the object. The object with affixed signal generator can then be used as a source in performing a subsurface imaging of subsurface objects, which are not exposed.

  • Patent number: 12150900
    Abstract: An ophthalmic surgical laser system and method for forming a lenticule in a subject's eye using “fast-scan-slow-sweep” scanning scheme. A high frequency scanner forms a fast scan line, which is placed tangential to a parallel of latitude of the surface of the lenticule and then then moved in a slow sweep trajectory along a meridian of longitude of the surface of the lenticule in one sweep. Multiple sweeps are performed along different meridians to form the entire lenticule surface, with the orientation of the scan line rotated between successive sweeps. To generate tissue bridge free incisions without leaving laser-induced marks in the eye, a laser pulse energy between 40 nJ to 70 nJ is used, and the sweeping speed is controlled such that the scan line step (the distance between the centers of consecutive scan lines) is between 1.7 ?m and 2.3 ?m.
