  • Recovery from eye-tracking loss in foveated displays
    Patent number: 12093454
    Abstract: An electronic device that includes a display and an eye tracker configured to collect eye tracking data regarding a gaze of one or more of a user's eyes across the display is disclosed herein. The electronic device includes processing circuitry that is operatively coupled to the display and configured to foveate one or more areas of the display according to the eye tracking data. If the eye tracking data input is lost, the processing circuitry is configured to recover from the loss of eye tracking data by changing one or more aspects of the foveated areas (e.g., size, resolution, etc.) until a threshold is satisfied. As time elapses since loss of eye tracking, the foveated areas move toward a center or a salient region of the display.

  • Caching techniques for deep learning accelerator
    Patent number: 12094531
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods related to a Deep Learning Accelerator and memory are described. For example, the accelerator can have processing units to perform at least matrix computations of an artificial neural network via execution of instructions. The processing units have a local memory store operands of the instructions. The accelerator can access a random access memory via a system buffer, or without going through the system buffer. A fetch instruction can request an item, available at a memory address in the random access memory, to be loaded into the local memory at a local address. The fetch instruction can include a hint for the caching of the item in the system buffer. During execution of the instruction, the hint can be used to determine whether to load the item through the system buffer or to bypass the system buffer in loading the item.

  • Onboarding distributed control node using secondary channel
    Patent number: 12093009
    Abstract: Implementations are described herein for provisioning a device such as a DCN with configuration data for operation on a process automation network using an “out-of-band” communication channel. In various implementations, a temporary out-of-band communication channel may be established between a first and second DCNs. The out-of-band communication channel may be distinct from a process automation network through which the first DCN is to be communicatively coupled with other process automation nodes of a process automation system. Provisioning data may be transmitted from the second DCN to the first DCN over the temporary out-of-band communication channel. The provisioning data may include: information technology (IT) configuration data and operational technology (OT) configuration data. Subsequent to the transmitting, the temporary out-of-band communication channel may be closed.

  • Network address translation (NAT)-based traffic steering
    Patent number: 12095665
    Abstract: Techniques for Network Address Translation (NAT)-based steering of traffic in cloud-based networks. The techniques may include establishing, by a frontend node of a network, a connection with a client device. The frontend node may receive, via the connection, a packet including an indication of an identity of a service hosted on a backend node of the network. Based at least in part on the indication, the frontend node may establish a second connection with the backend node. Additionally, the frontend node may store a mapping indicating that packets received from the client device are to be sent to the backend node. The techniques may also include receiving another packet at the frontend node or another frontend node of the network. Based at least in part on the mapping, the frontend node or other frontend node may alter one or more network addresses of the other packet and forward it to the backend node.
