  • Publication number: 20240020419
    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting errors when performing a convolutional operation is provided. Predicted checksum data, corresponding to input checksum data and kernel checksum data, is obtained. The convolutional operation is performed to obtain an output feature map. Output checksum data is generated and the predicted checksum data and the output checksum data are compared, the comparing taking account of partial predicted checksum data configured to correct for a lack of padding when performing the convolution operation, wherein the partial predicted checksum data corresponds to input checksum data for a subset of the values in the input feature map and kernel checksum data for a subset of the values in the kernel.

  • Patent number: 10685548
    Abstract: Guide systems for indicating a distance between a first object and a second object and a method for visually representing a distance between two objects as the distance reduces are provided. A sensor measures a distance between the first object and the second object. A processor receives a distance measurement from the sensor and determines whether the distance measured by the sensor is within one of a plurality of distance intervals. Upon determining that the distance is within one of the plurality of distance intervals, the processor displays a distance indicator on the display. The distance indicator is located on the display based on the distance according to a scale for the distance interval, where a display area on the display represents the distance interval. The scale for the distance intervals becomes finer as the distance between the first object and the second object decreases.

  • Patent number: 9037894
    Abstract: Timing circuits including supervisor chip(s), capacitors, and latches. The supervisor chip(s) and capacitors cooperate to generate an electrical signal (window signal) having a high logic state when the window is open. The latches are used to determine whether an event of interest occurred while the window was open using the generated window signal and an electrical signal asserted upon occurrence of the event of interest.

  • Patent number: 4008352
    Abstract: A process for the heat lamination of a first film of polyethylene, polyamide, polyester, and such films coated with polyvinylidene chloride, to a second film of polyethylene, ionomer, and such films coated with polyvinylidene chloride. The surface of the first and second films has been treated with a corona discharge prior to heat lamination, and preferably the second film has an adhesion promoter on its surface. The process has the steps of (a) bringing the first and second films into contact, (b) contacting the combined films with a roll heated to a temperature greater than that required to produce low peel strength but less than that at which the laminate adheres to it, (c) passing the laminate through a heated zone to increase the peel strength, and (d) cooling the laminate.
