Abstract: Described herein are automated cooking apparatuses for storing and cooking food items as well as methods of operating such apparatuses. In some examples, an automated cooking apparatus comprises a storage unit, a delivery unit, and a cooking unit. The storage unit may be equipped with a refrigeration unit and a container delivery opening. The delivery unit is aligned with this opening and configured to load a set amount of the food items into each food compartment of the cooking unit. The cooking unit moves its food compartments through a cooking tank (e.g., filled with a cooking liquid and heated using a set of heating elements) and into a cooked food receiver. The storage unit or, more specifically, its uncooked food container unit is positioned proximate (e.g., within 200 millimeters) to the cooking tank thereby reducing the time for transporting the food items relative to the cooking time.

Abstract: The invention is notably directed to a method of in-memory processing, the aim of which is to perform matrix-vector calculations. The method relies on a device having a crossbar array structure (15). The latter includes N input lines (152) and M output lines (153), which are interconnected at cross-points defining N×M cells (155), where N?2 and M?2. The cells include respective memory systems, each designed to store K weights Wi,j,k, where K?2. Thus, the crossbar array structure includes N×M memory systems, which are capable of storing K sets of N×M weights. In order to perform multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations, the method first enables N×M active weights for the N×M cells by selecting, for each of the memory systems, a weight from its K weights and setting the selected weight as an active weight. Next, signals encoding a vector of N components are applied to the N input lines of the crossbar array structure. This causes the latter to perform MAC operations based on the vector and the N×M active weights.
