Publication number: 20240134786Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for sparse tensor storage for neural network accelerators. An example apparatus includes sparsity map generating circuitry to generate a sparsity map corresponding to a tensor, the sparsity map to indicate whether a data point of the tensor is zero, static storage controlling circuitry to divide the tensor into one or more storage elements, and a compressor to perform a first compression of the one or more storage elements to generate one or more compressed storage elements, the first compression to remove zero points of the one or more storage elements based on the sparsity map and perform a second compression of the one or more compressed storage elements, the second compression to store the one or more compressed storage elements contiguously in memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Martin-Thomas Grymel, David Bernard, Niall Hanrahan, Martin Power, Kevin Brady, Gary Baugh, Cormac Brick

Patent number: 9291089Abstract: A compressor adapted to compress a working fluid includes a housing surrounding a compressor wheel and a backplate connected to the housing and enclosing the compressor wheel within an interior space of the housing. A cooling fluid conduit is fluidly connected between a cooled and compressed source of working fluid downstream of the compressor and the interior space of the housing of the compressor at a location between the compressor wheel and the back plate. A pressure differential created when the compressor is operating draws a flow of cooled, compressed charge into the interior space of the housing, which flow passes over and convectively cools said compressor wheel before mixing with a main compressor flow and being provided back through the compressor outlet.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Gary Powers, Cody McKinley, Dan Vacek, Muhamad Baihaqi Haji Ismail, Kumar Nale, Jeffrey McCormack

Publication number: 20080246894Abstract: A security document or device (30) is provided which has a substrate (31) including at least one layer (35,37) of polymeric material and an optical component formed by at least one orientating (PPN) layer (34) and at least one liquid crystal polymer (LCP) layer (36) in contact with the orientating layer (34). An intermediate prime layer (38) is provided between the optical component and the substrate (31) which improves the adhesion of the optical component to the substrate (31). The prime layer (38) may include a hydroxyl terminated polymer which is cross-linked by a multifunctional isocyanate. A security document with such a prime layer between the optical component and a polymeric surface of the substrate is more robust and able to withstand rough treatment without significantly affecting the optical properties of the optical component.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2005Publication date: October 9, 2008Applicant: SECURENCY PTY LIMITEDInventors: Gary Power, Paul Zientek

Publication number: 20070278785Abstract: A method of producing a security document or article including a substrate (100), which is transparent at least to visible light, and a diffractive optical microstructure (112). The method includes applying an opacifying layer (102) to at least one surface of the transparent substrate (100). An area of the opacifying layer (102) is exposed to laser radiation (108) to ablate apertures (110) in selected portions of the opacifying layer (102), thereby forming a diffractive optical microstructure (112) on the surface of the substrate (100). The laser radiation may be patterned prior to exposing the opacifying layer (102), for example by passing the radiation through a mask (104). Alternatively, a focussed or collimated laser beam (206) may be directed onto the selected portions of the opacifying layer (102). Laser radiation may be directed onto the opacifying layer (102) either directly, or through the transparent substrate (100).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2005Publication date: December 6, 2007Inventors: Joshua Nemeth, Gary Power, Robert Stewart

Publication number: 20070054067Abstract: A security document (1) comprises a substrate (10) including at least one layer of. polymeric material (12, 26) and containing an upconverting fluorescent material (18), and at least one coating (14) containing a refractive pigment applied to the substrate (10). When the security document is exposed to electromagnetic radiation of a particular wavelength, e.g. infra-red, the upconverting material (18) emits a signal of electromagnetic radiation of a shorter wavelength, e.g. visible light, and the coating (14) containing the refractive pigment enhances the signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2004Publication date: March 8, 2007Applicant: SECURENCY PTY LIMITEDInventor: Gary Power
