  • Publication number: 20220075601
    Abstract: An in-memory computing method and an in-memory computing apparatus are adapted to perform multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations on a memory by a processor. In the method, a pre-processing operation is respectively performed on input data and weight data to be written into input lines and memory cells of the memory to divide the input data and weight data into a primary portion and a secondary portion. The input data and the weight data divided into the primary portion and the secondary portion are written into the input lines and the memory cells in batches to perform the MAC operations and obtain a plurality of computation results. According to a numeric value of each of the computation results, the computation results are filtered. According to the portions to which the computation results correspond, a post-processing operation is performed on the filtered computation results to obtain output data.

  • Patent number: 10860149
    Abstract: A touch panel with electromagnetic induction function comprising a light-emitting diode backlight layer, an electromagnetic antenna, a display panel layer, a touch panel layer and a protective layer. The light emitting diode backlight layer has a plurality of light emitting diode units. The electromagnetic antenna is disposed on the backlight layer for emitting an alternating electromagnetic field and receiving a resonance signal. The display panel layer is disposed on the backlight layer. The touch panel layer is disposed on the display panel layer for capacitive touch. The protective layer is disposed on the touch panel layer to protect the touch panel layer. An electromagnetic pen for electromagnetic touch is configured to receive the alternating electromagnetic field and then emit the resonance signal.
