  • Patent number: 11942795
    Abstract: A multi-antenna system for harvesting energy and transmitting data includes an energy storing unit, antenna transmission units, and a load unit. Each antenna transmission unit includes an antenna module, a splitting module, an energy generation module, and a data processing module. The splitting module splits a wireless signal received by the antenna module into a first splitting signal and a second splitting signal and transmits the first splitting signal to an energy generation module to convert the first splitting signal into electrical energy stored in an energy storing unit and provided to the data processing module. The energy storing unit provides the electrical energy for the load unit. The data processing module receives one of the second splitting signals, converts it into a control signal, and transmits the control signal to the load unit. The load unit operates according to the control signal.

  • Publication number: 20230376653
    Abstract: A neural network is used to place macros on a chip canvas in an integrated circuit (IC) design. The macros are first clustered into multiple macro clusters. Then the neural network generates a probability distribution over locations on a grid and aspect ratios of a macro cluster. The grid represents the chip canvas and is formed by rows and columns of grid cells. The macro cluster is described by at least an area size, aspect ratios, and wire connections. Action masks are generated for respective ones of the aspect ratios to block out a subset of unoccupied grid cells based on design rules that optimize macro placement. Then, by applying the action masks on the probability distribution, a masked probability distribution is generated. Based on the masked probability distribution, a location on the grid is selected for placing the macro cluster with a chosen aspect ratio.
