Collapse of at least a portion of the instillation pathway may be sufficient to close the instillation pathway.

Abstract: An activation accelerator for a neural network accelerator includes a look-up table and activation pipelines. The look-up table stores values representing a non-linear activation function. Each activation pipeline comprises a range conversion unit that receives an input value, an input offset, and an absolute value flag, and generates a converted value from the input value by combining the input value and the input offset, and when an absolute value flag is set, generates an absolute value of the combination of the input value and the input offset. An index generation unit generates an index and an interpolation value from the converted value. A look-up table interface retrieves multiple values from the look-up table based on the index. An interpolation unit generates an estimate of a result of the non-linear activation function for the input value from an interpolation output generated by interpolating between the multiple values retrieved from the look-up table based on the interpolation value.

Abstract: A system and method for creation, distribution and tracking of advertising via electronic networks, enabling creation of advertisements using licensed third-party content and placement of the ads at desired network locations, utilizing an auction of ad spaces based on bids placed by advertisers to have their ads displayed at such locations. When a network user/ad viewer requests an ad by clicking or other action, an auction algorithm executes to select the ad to be displayed from those that bid for display at such ad space location and then the ad is composed and delivered to the ad space location by accessing a relational database storing commands that retrieve, assemble and dispatch the licensed ad content. Usage and display of licensed content on designated ad space is tracked to enable cost-per-use charging for both use of licensed content and ad display at the designated ad space.
