Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to map workloads. An example apparatus includes a constraint definer to define performance characteristic targets of the neural network, an action determiner to apply a first resource configuration to candidate resources corresponding to the neural network, a reward determiner to calculate a results metric based on (a) resource performance metrics and (b) the performance characteristic targets, and a layer map generator to generate a resource mapping file, the mapping file including respective resource assignments for respective corresponding layers of the neural network, the resource assignments selected based on the results metric.

Abstract: A device and a method are disclosed for reducing energy consumption by generating a Forecasted Geospatial Route and checking whether a cargo or vehicle is on-schedule and whether its environmental conditions are proper. The device receives standard shipping documents, from which Key Coordinates are extracted, from which a Forecasted Geospatial Route is generated. Subsequently, the device obtains real-time location data, time data and sensor data related to the coupled cargo or vehicle. The gathered data are then matched with location data, time data and sensory data stored within the device as the Forecasted Geospatial Route. The information match allows the device to check whether a cargo or vehicle is on-schedule or not and whether its environmental conditions are proper or improper. Subsequently, the device may turn all or several of its functions ON or OFF to reduce energy consumption.

Abstract: A vent cover (16) for installing on a shipping container. The vent cover includes a housing (16a) adapted for covering a vent hole (24) of the shipping container. A direct current (DC) power source is encased or enclosed in the housing. The DC power source includes a battery. The vent cover may also include a circuit board (34) attached to the DC power source. An antenna (36) may be located on a surface of the housing and attached to the circuit board. The circuit board may include a satellite antenna interface for a satellite antenna and a global positioning system (GPS) module attached to the satellite antenna interface. The vent cover may include an environmental sensor (304) for sensing a parameter of the shipping container. The environmental sensor may be adapted to protrude through a hole in a wall (12) of the shipping container when the vent cover is mounted on the shipping container.
