Patent number: 11918336Abstract: A method for classifying input data includes receiving the input data that describe an object, wherein the input data corresponds to plural classes; associating the input data with voxels that describe the object; calculating a real-number sequence X(n), which is associated with a measured parameter P that describes the object; quantizing the real-number sequence X(n) to generate a finite set sequence Q(n), where n describes a number of levels; generating a voxel-based weight matrix for each class of the input data; and calculating a score S for each class of the plural classes, based on a corresponding voxel-based weight matrix. The score S is a number that indicates a likelihood that the input data associated with a given sample belongs to a class of the plural classes.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: KING ABDULLAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Taous Meriem Laleg, Fahad Ali Albalawi, Abderrazak Chahid

Patent number: 11636057Abstract: The energy consumed by data transfer in a computing device may be reduced by transferring data that has been encoded in a manner that reduces the number of one “1” data values, the number of signal level transitions, or both. A data destination component of the computing device may receive data encoded in such a manner from a data source component of the computing device over a data communication interconnect, such as an off-chip interconnect. The data may be encoded using minimum Hamming weight encoding, which reduces the number of one “1” data values. The received data may be decoded using minimum Hamming weight decoding. For other computing devices, the data may be encoded using maximum Hamming weight encoding, which increases the number of one “1” data values while reducing the number of zero “0” values, if reducing the number of zero values reduces energy consumption.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Engin Ipek, Bohuslav Rychlik, George Patsilaras, Prajakt Kulkarni, Can Hankendi, Fahad Ali, Jeffrey Gemar, Matthew Severson

Patent number: 10179738Abstract: A method for preparing multi-wall carbon nanotubes comprising atomizing a precursor solution comprising an aromatic hydrocarbon and a carrier gas. The mixture is then injected through an ultrasonic atomization system to form atomized precursor droplets. Then by injecting the atomized precursor droplets from the top of a vertical chemical vapor deposition reactor, the droplets can then react with a reaction gas in the reactor vessel to form a film that adsorbs to a growth surface in the reactor vessel. Layer by layer multi-wall carbon nanotubes are formed. This method is repeated to form layers of the multi-wall carbon nanotubes. The nanotubes formed have an outer diameter of 10 nm-51 nm and a length to diameter aspect ratio of 7200-13200.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: King Fahd University of Petroleum and MineralsInventors: Zuhair Omar Malaibari, Muataz Ali Atieh, Fahad Ali Rabbani
