Publication number: 20210182021Abstract: Herein are disclosed computation units for element approximation. A computation unit may include a first circuit to compute a first projection ? of an input element xi from a first range to a second range. In the first circuit, the input element xi may have a first format and the projected element yi may have a second format. In addition, in the first circuit, the second format may have more bits than the first format. The computation unit may further include a second circuit operatively coupled to the first circuit to produce a reduction zi in the first format using the projected element yi in the second format. The computation unit may also include a third circuit operatively coupled to the second circuit to compute a second projection ? of the reduction zi from the second range to the first range to produce an approximation wi.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2019Publication date: June 17, 2021Applicant: SambaNova Systems, Inc.Inventors: Mingran WANG, Xiaoyan Li, Mark Luttrell, Yongning Sheng, Gregory Frederick Grohoski

Publication number: 20210052893Abstract: An electrode lead comprises an electrically insulative cuff body and at least three axially aligned electrode contacts circumferentially disposed along the inner surface of the cuff body when in the furled state. The electrode contacts may be circumferentially disposed around a nerve, and an electrical pulse train may be delivered to the electrode contacts thereby stimulating the nerve to treat obstructive sleep apnea. The electrical pulse train may be one that pre-conditions peripherally located nerve fascicles to not be stimulated, while stimulating centrally located nerve fascicles. A feedback mechanism can be used to titrate electrode contacts and electrical pulse train to the patient. A sensor that is affixed to the case of a neurostimulator can be used to measure physiological artifacts of respiration, and a motion detector can be used to sense tapping of the neurostimulator to toggle the neurostimulator between an ON position and an OFF position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2020Publication date: February 25, 2021Applicant: THE ALFRED E.

Publication number: 20210038897Abstract: Described here is a deep brain stimulation (“DBS”) approach that targets several relevant nodes within brain circuitry, while monitoring multiple symptoms for efficacy. This approach to multi-symptom monitoring and stimulation therapy may be used as an extra stimulation setting in extant DBS devices, particularly those equipped for both stimulation and sensing. The therapeutic efficacy of DBS devices is extended by optimizing them for multiple symptoms (such as sleep disturbance in addition to movement disorders), thus increasing quality of life for patients.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Gregory Frederick Molnar, Luke Johnson, David Escobar Sanabria, Edward Mark Bello, II, Jerrold L.

Publication number: 20210011770Abstract: A reconfigurable data processor comprises an array of configurable units configurable to allocate a plurality of sets of configurable units in the array to implement respective execution fragments of the data processing operation. Quiesce logic is coupled to configurable units in the array, configurable to respond to a quiesce control signal to quiesce the sets of configurable units in the array on quiesce boundaries of the respective execution fragments, and to forward quiesce ready signals for the respective execution fragments when the corresponding sets of processing units are ready. An array quiesce controller distributes the quiesce control signal to configurable units in the array, and receives quiesce ready signals for the respective execution fragments from the quiesce logic.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2019Publication date: January 14, 2021Applicant: SambaNova Systems, Inc.Inventors: Raghu Prabhakar, Manish K.
