  • Publication number: 20250258803
    Abstract: This application is directed to automated graph schema generation. A schema generation method includes receiving a graph schema having vertices and edges associated with a plurality of data tables. The method also includes automatically generating, based on the plurality of data tables and the graph schema, one or more suggestions using a computational model. The one or more suggestions identify one or more vertices and/or one or more edges. The one or more suggestions include a respective suggestion that identifies a respective subset of the one or more vertices and/or the one or more edges. The method further includes receiving a first user input that is a selection of the respective suggestion from the one or more suggestions. The method further includes updating, based on the first user input, the graph schema. The method further includes outputting the updated graph schema.

  • Publication number: 20250258815
    Abstract: This application is directed to data query. A data query method includes receiving a query that defines a graph relationship between target entities within a to-be-queried database. The data query method further includes traversing the to-be-queried database using the query through a graph analytics engine to obtain output entries. Each output entry includes data items matching the graph relationship defined by the query. The graph analytics engine includes an auxiliary component for the query. The auxiliary component further includes vertices and edges associated with the to-be-queried database, and each edge links two vertices. The data query method further includes generating a graph-based representation of output entries.

  • Patent number: 11695425
    Abstract: A receiver having analog-to-digital converters (ADC) is disclosed. The ADCs may be reconfigured based on the insertion loss mode of the receiver. For example, different portions of a plurality of time-interleaved successive approximation (SAR) ADC slices included in at least one sub-ADC of each time-interleaved ADC may be enabled depending on which of a plurality of insertion loss modes is selected for operation of the receiver.

  • Patent number: 11438199
    Abstract: A transmitter device having a calibrator circuit is disclosed. The calibrator circuit performs duty cycle calibration and phase calibration on a plurality of clock signals of the transmitter device. In one embodiment, the phase calibration is performed based on a comparison of the clock signals to a reference clock signal from the plurality of clock signals. In another embodiment, the calibrator circuit uses fixed patterns of data signals to perform phase calibration on the plurality of clock signals.

  • Patent number: 11349689
    Abstract: A receiver for data recovery from a channel signal of a communications channel. The receiver includes a quantization circuit to generate a quantized code corresponding to the channel signal. A first decision circuit recovers, in a first signal processing mode, digital data for the channel signal based on the quantized representation of the channel signal. A second decision circuit recovers, in a second signal processing mode, the digital data for the channel signal based on the quantized representation of the channel signal. A controller selects between the first signal processing mode and the second signal processing mode based on a parameter indicative of a signal quality of the channel signal.
