  • Patent number: 11933663
    Abstract: An internal calibration mechanism of a weigh module has a driving structure, a calibration weight and a weight support frame. The weight support frame has an opening or a groove for loading the calibration weight. The weight support frame is connected to a load receiving portion at both sides thereof and is connected to a portion of a fixing portion that extends towards the load-receiving portion. In one case, the weight support frame, the load-receiving portion and the fixing portion are integrally formed. In another case, a force transmission connecting portion and a fulcrum connecting portion of the weight support frame are fixedly connected, respectively, to the load-receiving portion and to the extending portion of the fixing portion. In another case, flexure hinges connect the weight support frame to the load-receiving portion at both sides thereof and connect the weight support frame to the extending portion.

  • Patent number: 11531889
    Abstract: Disclosed are a weight data storage method and a convolution computation method that may be implemented in a neural network. The weight data storage method comprises searching for effective weights in a weight convolution kernel matrix and acquiring an index of effective weights. The effective weights are non-zero weights, and the index of effective weights is used to mark the position of the effective weights in the weight convolution kernel matrix. The weight data storage method further comprises storing the effective weights and the index of effective weights. According to the weight data storage method and the convolution computation method of the present disclosure, storage space can be saved, and computation efficiency can be improved.

  • Patent number: 10691169
    Abstract: A cover for an electronic device and methods of forming a cover is disclosed. The electronic device may include a housing, and a cover coupled to the housing. The cover may have an inner surface having at least one of an intermediate polish and a final polish, a groove formed on the inner surface, and an outer surface positioned opposite the inner surface. The outer surface may have at least one of the intermediate polish and the final polish. The cover may also have a rounded perimeter portion formed between the inner surface and the outer surface. The rounded perimeter portion may be positioned adjacent the groove. The method for forming the cover may include performing a first polishing process on the sapphire component using a polishing tool, and performing a second polishing process on the groove of the sapphire component forming the cover using blasting media.

  • Publication number: 20070220492
    Abstract: A verifier infrastructure for a runtime verification tool is provided. The verifier infrastructure includes a managing module and one or more verifier modules. The verifier modules provide the verification for checks (tests) to predict how well an application will perform under a certain runtime setting. Each verifier module is configured to be plugged into the runtime verification tool in a standardized way. The managing module manages the verifier modules by transmitting runtime settings to the verifier modules and collecting information regarding testing of an application from the verifier modules. The collected information is reported back to users for detecting and/or debugging runtime errors.
