  • Publication number: 20230098841
    Abstract: In an approach for classifying and storing multiple layers of a file system as platform-dependent and platform-independent layers, a processor generates an initial layer of a file system. The initial layer is a platform-dependent base layer. A processor assigns one or more files associated with the initial layer with a first group identification as a first same group in a file registry for a plurality of platforms. A processor generates a new layer based on the initial layer into the file system. A processor, in response to the new layer being platform-independent, marks the new layer as platform-independent in the file registry. A processor pushes the new layer into the file registry for one of the plurality of platforms. A processor distributes one or more corresponding files from the file registry per a client request to access the file system.

  • Publication number: 20230076138
    Abstract: A matrix multiplication system and method are provided. The system includes a memory that stores one or more weight tensors, a processor and a matrix multiply accelerator (MMA). The processor converts each weight tensor into an encoded block set that is stored in the memory. Each encoded block set includes a number of encoded blocks, and each encoded block includes a data field and an index field. The MMA converts each encoded block set into a reconstructed weight tensor, and convolves each reconstructed weight tensor and an input data tensor to generate an output data matrix.

  • Publication number: 20230053968
    Abstract: A memory data migration method, apparatus, and system are provided. During memory migration, data is classified into two parts based on a hot and cold degree of the data. Hot data is directly migrated, and cold data is written into a shared storage device shared by memories. When needing to be used in a destination-end memory, the cold data may be read from the shared storage device. This reduces an amount of data that needs to be migrated to the destination-end memory, thereby improving memory migration efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11562502
    Abstract: This invention provides an easy-to-manufacture, easy-to-analyze calibration object which combines measurable and repeatable, but not necessarily accurate, 3D features—such as a two-sided calibration object/target in (e.g.) the form of a frustum, with a pair of accurate and measurable features, more particularly parallel faces separated by a precise specified thickness, so as to provide for simple field calibration of opposite-facing DS sensors. Illustratively, a composite calibration object can be constructed, which includes the two-sided frustum that has been sandblasted and anodized (to provide measurable, repeatable features), with a flange whose above/below parallel surfaces have been ground to a precise specified thickness. The 3D corner positions of the two-sided frustum are used to calibrate the two sensors in X and Y, but cannot establish absolute Z without accurate information about the thickness of the two-sided frustum; the flange provides the absolute Z information.

  • Patent number: 11553587
    Abstract: A display panel with display and non-display regions has pixel units in the display region. The non-display region defines a bonding region in which there are traces and driving chips. The driving chips are bonded in a flexible printed circuit, and electrically connect with the pixel units. The traces include high-speed signal traces, power traces, and grounding traces. The grounding traces are adjacent to the power traces and so disposed as to shield against electromagnetic interference affecting the signal and power traces, the grounding traces serving as reference ground to the power traces, and form a shield against electromagnetic interference.

  • Publication number: 20230002891
    Abstract: Forming a protective coating ex situ in an atomic layer deposition process to coat one or more chamber components subsequently installed in a reaction chamber provides a number of benefits over more conventional coating methods such as in situ deposition of an undercoat. In certain cases the protective coating may have a particular composition such as aluminum oxide, aluminum fluoride, aluminum nitride, yttrium oxide, and/or yttrium fluoride. The protective coating may help reduce contamination on wafers processed using the coated chamber component. Further, the protective coating may act to stabilize the processing conditions within the reaction chamber, thereby achieving very stable/uniform processing results over the course of processing many batches of wafers, and minimizing radical loss. Also described are a number of techniques that may be used to restore the protective coating after the coated chamber component is used to process semiconductor wafers.

  • Patent number: 11544874
    Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for generating camera calibrations for a vision system camera along three discrete planes in a 3D volume space that uses at least two (e.g. parallel) object planes at different known heights. For any third (e.g. parallel) plane of a specified height, the system and method then automatically generates calibration data for the camera by interpolating/extrapolating from the first two calibrations. This alleviates the need to set the calibration object at more than two heights, speeding the calibration process and simplifying the user's calibration setup, and also allowing interpolation/extrapolation to heights that are space-constrained, and not readily accessible by a calibration object. The calibration plate can be calibrated at each height using a full 2D hand-eye calibration, or using a hand-eye calibration at the first height and then at a second height with translation to a known position along the height (e.g. Z) direction.
