  • Patent number: 11977913
    Abstract: A graphics processing system for operation with a data store, comprising: one or more processing units for processing tasks; a check unit operable to form a signature which is characteristic of an output from processing a task on a processing unit; and a fault detection unit operable to compare signatures formed at the check unit; wherein the graphics processing system is operable to process each task first and second times at the one or more processing units so as to, respectively, generate first and second processed outputs, the graphics processing system being configured to: write out the first processed output to the data store; read back the first processed output from the data store and form at the check unit a first signature which is characteristic of the first processed output as read back from the data store; form at the check unit a second signature which is characteristic of the second processed output; compare the first and second signatures at the fault detection unit; and raise a fault signal i

  • Publication number: 20230262848
    Abstract: The present technology is generally directed to multi-frequency controllers for inductive heating and associated systems and methods. In some embodiments, systems associated with the present technology are configured to precisely heat a module via a coil to a target temperature using oscillating, pulsed electrical signals associated with unique frequencies and/or capacitance values. Each unique frequency can correspond to heating the module to a particular depth, relative to an outer surface of the module. For example, a first pulsed electrical signal having a first frequency can heat the module to a first depth, and a second pulsed electrical signal having a second frequency can heat the module to a second depth different than the first depth. The system can further include a thermal sensor for measuring a temperature associated with at least one of the module or a fluid associated with the module.

  • Publication number: 20230184385
    Abstract: A fueling station can include an outer housing comprising a housing volume, a first fluid bladder positioned within the housing volume and configured to hold a first fluid, a second fluid bladder positioned within the housing volume and configured to hold a second fluid, a first fluid conduit in fluid communication with the first fluid bladder, a second fluid conduit in fluid communication with the second bladder, a first hose positioned at least partially outside the outer housing and in fluid communication with both the first and second fluid conduits, and a bi-directional first nozzle connected to an end of the first hose opposite the first and second fluid conduits. The bi-directional first nozzle can be configured to simultaneously release fluid from the first hose and to collect fluid into the first hose. The first fluid bladder can be configured to release fluid through the first conduit in response to introduction of fluid into the second fluid bladder via the second conduit.

  • Patent number: 11555473
    Abstract: A fluid tank comprising can include an outer housing comprising a housing volume, a first fluid bladder positioned within the housing volume, and a second fluid bladder positioned within the housing volume. The first fluid bladder can comprise a first conduit and the second fluid bladder can comprise a second conduit. The first fluid bladder can be configured to release fluid through the first conduit in response to introduction of fluid into the second fluid bladder via the second conduit. The housing volume can be maintained at a substantially constant pressure when fluid is released from the first fluid bladder through the first conduit and fluid is introduced into the second fluid bladder through the second conduit.

  • Publication number: 20210207775
    Abstract: The present technology includes a system for removing hydrogen from a liquid carrier molecule to produce a gaseous hydrogen and an at least partially dehydrogenated liquid carrier that is able to be later recombined with additional hydrogen molecules. In some embodiments, the system for removing hydrogen molecules from the liquid carrier can include a vaporizer unit, one or more modules downstream of and in fluid communication with the vaporizer unit, a condenser unit downstream of and in fluid communication with the one or more modules, and a separator unit downstream of and in fluid communication with the condenser unit.
