  • Patent number: 11967357
    Abstract: A memory unit with time domain edge delay accumulation for computing-in-memory applications is controlled by a first word line and a second word line. The memory unit includes at least one memory cell, at least one edge-delay cell multiplexor and at least one edge-delay cell. The at least one edge-delay cell includes a weight reader and a driver. The weight reader is configured to receive a weight and a multi-bit analog input voltage and generate a multi-bit voltage according to the weight and the multi-bit analog input voltage. The driver is connected to the weight reader and configured to receive an edge-input signal. The driver is configured to generate an edge-output signal having a delay time according to the edge-input signal and the multi-bit voltage. The delay time of the edge-output signal is positively correlated with the multi-bit analog input voltage multiplied by the weight.

  • Publication number: 20240124838
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for separating a neural crest derived cell from peripheral blood. In the present disclosure, a mononuclear cell is separated from the peripheral blood and then directly cultured, thereby maximizing use of a neural crest stem cell with a differentiation potential to avoid loss of the neural crest stem cell. In the method of the present disclosure, a sample to be separated is derived from the peripheral blood. The method shows less trauma and low cost. Most importantly, compared to extracting the neural crest derived cell from tissues, the neural crest derived cell extracted from the peripheral blood can be used clinically as a type of biomarker.

  • Patent number: 11953966
    Abstract: Methods and corresponding systems and apparatuses for saving power through selectively disabling clock signals in a systolic array are described. In some embodiments, a clock gate controller is operable to output a gated clock signal from which local clock signals of processing elements in the systolic array are derived. The gated clock signal corresponds to a root clock signal that is distributed through a clock distribution network or clock tree. The clock gate controller is located along one branch of the clock distribution network. The branch can be associated with processing elements that form a column within the systolic array. Disabling the gated clock signal disables the local clock signals along the entire branch, preventing any components that are clocked by those local clock signals from consuming power. Additional clock gate controllers can similarly be provided for other branches, including a branch associated with another column.

    Abstract: Intelligent process management is provided. A start time is determined for an additional process to be run on a worker node within a duration of a sleep state of a task of a process already running on the worker node by adding a first defined buffer time to a determined start time of the sleep state of the task. A backfill time is determined for the additional process by subtracting a second defined buffer time from a determined end time of the sleep state of the task. A scheduling plan is generated for the additional process based on the start time and the backfill time corresponding to the additional process.
