Publication number: 20250211359Abstract: A dense wave division multiplex (DWDM) receiver includes receiver lanes each configured to detect signals encoded in a different electromagnetic frequency band. The DWDM receiver applies a clock signal received on a variable one of the receiver lanes to lock a frequency of an injection locked oscillator (ILO) of a clock distribution network, and receiver lanes that are configured to receive data signals generate resonance on the clock distribution network. The resonant signal from the clock distribution network is applied to sample the received data signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2023Publication date: June 26, 2025Applicant: NVIDIA Corp.Inventors: Sanquan Song, Nikola Nedovic, Thomas Hastings Greer III, Carl Thomas Gray

Publication number: 20250189251Abstract: A ram accelerator for accelerating a projectile is provided. The ram accelerator includes a first tube body having a first projectile bore, a second tube body having a second projectile bore axially aligned with the first projectile bore, and a baffle positioned between and operably coupling the first and second tube bodies. The baffle can have an annular baffle wall defining a central bore that is axially aligned with the first and second projectile bores, and a chamber arranged adjacent to the annular baffle wall. The chamber can extend radially outward from the central bore and the annular baffle wall can be configured to sweep a combustion wave relative to the projectile to prevent the combustion wave from traveling ahead of the projectile, leading to an unstart mechanism of the projectile in the ram accelerator.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: June 12, 2025Applicant: University of WashingtonInventors: Carl Thomas Knowlen, Andrew Jason Higgins, Brian Leege

Time-of-flight based 3D surveillance system with flexible surveillance zone definition functionality
Patent number: 12272143Abstract: A surveillance system for detecting and/or characterizing movement of a monitored infrastructure. An improved compromise between tight zone surveillance and number of false alarms is provided by an improved control of a 3D surveillance device. An input functionality is provided for a user to define a 3D subzone within a 3D environment model. A change functionality allows the user to generate a redefined subzone by dragging one of the corner points of the 3D subzone to a different position within a 3D visualization of the 3D environment model, whereby the shape of the 3D subzone is distorted. The input functionality and the change functionality are used to provide to the 3D surveillance device spatial parameters associated with the redefined subzone and the 3D surveillance device is caused to generate an action in case a movement within the redefined subzone is detected by means of the 3D measurement data.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: LEICA GEOSYSTEMS AGInventors: Markus Ribi, Sandra Tobler, Adam Bajric, Carl-Thomas Schneider -

Patent number: 12223201Abstract: A hierarchical network enables access for a stacked memory system including or more memory dies that each include multiple memory tiles. The processor die includes multiple processing tiles that are stacked with the one or more memory die. The memory tiles that are vertically aligned with a processing tile are directly coupled to the processing tile and comprise the local memory block for the processing tile. The hierarchical network provides access paths for each processing tile to access the processing tile's local memory block, the local memory block coupled to a different processing tile within the same processing die, memory tiles in a different die stack, and memory tiles in a different device. The ratio of memory bandwidth (byte) to floating-point operation (B:F) may improve 50× for accessing the local memory block compared with conventional memory. Additionally, the energy consumed to transfer each bit may be reduced by 10×.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2024Date of Patent: February 11, 2025Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: William James Dally, Carl Thomas Gray, Stephen W.

Publication number: 20240411709Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to application partitioning for locality in a stacked memory system. In an embodiment, one or more memory dies are stacked on the processor die. The processor die includes multiple processing tiles and each memory die includes multiple memory tiles. Vertically aligned memory tiles are directly coupled to and comprise the local memory block for a corresponding processing tile. An application program that operates on dense multi-dimensional arrays (matrices) may partition the dense arrays into sub-arrays associated with program tiles. Each program tile is executed by a processing tile using the processing tile's local memory block to process the associated sub-array. Data associated with each sub-array is stored in a local memory block and the processing tile corresponding to the local memory block executes the program tile to process the sub-array data.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Inventors: William James Dally, Carl Thomas Gray, Stephen W.
