  • Patent number: 11157794
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a batch of neural network inputs to be processed using a neural network on a hardware circuit. The neural network has multiple layers arranged in a directed graph and each layer has a respective set of parameters. The method includes determining a partitioning of the neural network layers into a sequence of superlayers. Each superlayer is a partition of the directed graph that includes one or more layers. The method includes processing the batch of inputs using the hardware circuit, which includes, for each superlayer in the sequence: i) loading the respective set of parameters for the layers in the superlayer into memory of the hardware circuit, and ii) for each input in the batch, processing the input through each of the layers in the superlayer using the parameters in the memory of the hardware circuit to generate a superlayer output for the input.

  • Patent number: 11160148
    Abstract: An area lamp includes an emitter array and driver circuitry. The emitter array includes a number of solid-state light emitters. Each one of the solid-state light emitters is configured to provide light suitable for general illumination within a field of view such that light emitted from a first subset of the number of solid-state light emitters is provided to a different portion of the field of view than light emitted from a second subset of the number of solid-state light emitters. The driver circuitry is coupled to the emitter array and configured to provide drive signals to the emitter array such that the light provided from each one of the solid-state light emitters is independently controllable and a number of drive signals is less than the number of solid-state light emitters.

  • Patent number: 11154579
    Abstract: The present invention is a process for producing various types of cannabis extract from harvested cannabis. A quantity of harvested cannabis, which typically includes the inflorescence, floral leaves, and small stems of a flowering cannabis plants, is pre-frozen. The harvested cannabis is first subjected to cryogenic grinding to produce pulverized cannabis. The pulverized cannabis is then subjected to alcohol extraction to produce an initial cannabis extract, which can be subjected to one of several forms of further processing according to the desired chemical profile of the final product. The initial cannabis extract may then be subjected to chemical processing that promote the conversion of THCA to ?9 THC; the conversion of THCVA to THCV; the conversion of THCA to cannabinol (“CBN”); or the conversion of THCA to ?8-THC.

  • Patent number: 11157306
    Abstract: To increase the speed with which the hierarchical levels of a Second Layer Address Table (SLAT) are traversed as part of a memory access where the guest physical memory of a virtual machine environment is backed by virtual memory assigned to one or more processes executing on a host computing device, one or more hierarchical levels of tables within the SLAT can be skipped or otherwise not referenced. While the SLAT can be populated with memory correlations at hierarchically higher-levels of tables, the page table of the host computing device, supporting the host computing device's provision of virtual memory, can maintain a corresponding contiguous set of memory correlations at the hierarchically lowest table level, thereby enabling the host computing device to page out, or otherwise manipulate, smaller chunks of memory. If such manipulation occurs, the SLAT can be repopulated with memory correlations at the hierarchically lowest table level.
