  • Patent number: 11989233
    Abstract: Presented herein are embodiments of a fast search on graph methodology for Maximum Inner Product Search (MIPS). This optimization problem is challenging since traditional Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) search methods may not perform efficiently in the nonmetric similarity measure. Embodiments herein are based on the property that a Möbius/Möbius-like transformation introduces an isomorphism between a subgraph of 2-Delaunay graph and Delaunay graph for inner product. Under this observation, embodiments of a novel graph indexing and searching methodology are presented to find the optimal solution with the largest inner product with the query. Experiments show significant improvements compared to existing methods.

  • Patent number: 11914669
    Abstract: Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) searching is a fundamental problem in computer science with numerous applications in area such as machine learning and data mining. For typical graph-based ANN methods, the searching method is executed iteratively, and the execution dependency prohibits graphics processor unit (GPU)/GPU-type processor adaptations. Presented herein are embodiments of a novel framework that decouples the searching on graph methodology into stages, in order to parallel the performance-crucial distance computation. Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, to obtain better parallelism on GPU-type components, also disclosed are novel ANN-specific optimization methods that eliminate dynamic memory allocations and trade computations for less memory consumption. Embodiments were empirically compared against other methods, and the results confirm the effectiveness.

  • Patent number: 11588377
    Abstract: A fan motor suitable for use in an electronic device, such as a consumer electronic device, is disclosed. The fan motor includes a stator and a rotor. In order to minimize a varying torque applied to the rotor, the stator includes modifications. For example, the stator includes stator teeth, each with an arc defined by a radius of curvature that varies. The radius (from a reference point to the arc) can vary in accordance with a sinusoidal curve. Furthermore, the corners of each stator tooth may be rounded. The rounded corners of the stator teeth may include a uniform (or constant, non-varying) radius of curvature. These enhancement are designed to provide a more uniform torque by the stator to the rotor. As a result, the rotation of the rotor is subject to smaller fluctuations, and the fan motor undergoes less vibration and generates less acoustical noise.
