  • Flexible insulated beverage holder with rigid plate and handle
    Patent number: 11807443
    Abstract: This device is a flexible insulated beverage holder with a rigid arcuate plate and a rigid handle attached. This device allows a user to hold only the handle and insert a beverage container into the insulated beverage holder. This is achievable because the attached plate forces the insulated beverage holder to provide an expanded opening at its top. As the beverage is inserted into the opening created by the plate the user need only grip the handle as the beverage container is pushed to the bottom of the insulated beverage holder. This device provides the benefits of grasping a sturdy handle, while also providing significant portability with the flexible insulated beverage holder.

  • Efficient direct convolution using SIMD instructions
    Patent number: 11803377
    Abstract: A computer comprising one or more processors offering vector instructions may implement a direct convolution on a source data set. The source data set may be one-dimensional or multi-dimensional. For a given vector width, w, of the vector instructions, w consecutive data elements of the output data set are computed in parallel using vector instructions. For multi-dimensional data sets, multiple vectors of the output data set are computed for a single load of a set of vectors from the source data set. New vector instructions are disclosed to improve the performance of the convolution and to enable full utilization of the arithmetic logic units within the one or more processors.
