  • Publication number: 20250239421
    Abstract: A load break tool for opening a high load electrical switch having a first switch contact and a second switch contact. The load break tool includes a main body extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. The main body is movable between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration. A first contact is coupled to the first end and configured to selectively couple with the first switch contact. A second contact is coupled to the second end and configured to selectively couple with the second switch contact. In the retracted configuration the first contact is in electrical communication with the second contact. A spring assembly is mounted in the main body for biasing the main body to the retracted configuration, the spring assembly including a compression spring.

  • Publication number: 20250205606
    Abstract: A technique includes determining a base decision rate; monitoring for key events; and based on the base decision rate and the monitoring, determining a time at which to generate an action to be performed by an application entity of an application. The base decision rate includes a baseline rate at which the application is directed to determine new actions to be performed by the application entity. In some examples, the base decision rate is determined using a trained AI model, by applying information about the state of the application to the model and obtaining the base decision rate in response. In some examples, key events are unexpected events that occur in the application. In some examples, since the base decision rate represents a rate at which to generate actions, given the current state of the application, the key events, which represent unexpected events, override or modify the base decision rate.

  • Publication number: 20250209329
    Abstract: A processing system identifies and removes stuck channels in a quantized neural network (QNN), where a stuck channel is one whose outputs are always mapped to the same quantized number. The processing system identifies, at a layer of the neural network, a first channel as a stuck channel based on the first channel having a constant output. In response to identifying the first channel as a stuck channel, the processing system adjusts a first operator of the layer.

  • Patent number: 12223307
    Abstract: Smart sensors, platforms for smart sensors, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In some implementations, the platform includes hardware interfaces that are abstracted and/or standardized as defined by various common group types. The abstracted interfaces allow numerous different sensors to be connected and integrated into the smart sensor as desired for a specific application. Further, the platform can reuse a standardized software backbone as a sensor platform as sensors are varied, as well as across multiple smart sensors. In some implementations, the standardized sensor platform can include an on-board resident user interface (RUI) with an internet-accessible portal, allowing users to connect to the RUI on the sensor platform through any network accessible device. The platform can also include an artificial intelligence and/or machine learning engine to turn raw sensor data into real-time automation and inspection information within the sensor within the local environment.

  • Patent number: 12172081
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for detecting personal-space violations in artificial intelligence (AI) based non-player characters (NPCs) are disclosed. An AI engine creates a NPC that accompanies and/or interacts with a player controlled by a user playing a video game. During gameplay, measures of context-dependent personal space around the player and/or one or more NPCs are generated. A control circuit monitors the movements of the NPC during gameplay and determines whether the NPC is adhering to or violating the measures of context-dependent personal space. The control circuit can monitor the movements of multiple NPCs simultaneously during gameplay, keeping a separate score for each NPC. After some amount of time has elapsed, the scores of the NPCs are recorded, and then the scores are provided to a machine learning engine to retrain the AI engines controlling the NPCs.

  • Publication number: 20240408293
    Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems, apparatuses, and methods for operating the systems and apparatuses are disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a negative pressure source, a connector port, at least one switch, and a controller. The negative pressure source is connected through the connector port to either (i) a wound dressing having a canister configured to store fluid aspirated from the wound or (ii) a wound dressing without a canister between the connector port and the wound dressing. The controller determines, based on a signal received from the at least one switch, whether the canister is positioned in the fluid flow path and adjusts one or more operational parameters of negative pressure wound therapy based on the determination. The switch is activated by the connection of either the canister or canisterless wound dressing to the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20240193413
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently creating less computationally intensive nodes for a neural network. In various implementations, a computing system includes a memory that stores multiple input data values for training a neural network, and a processor. Rather than determine a bit width P of an integer accumulator of a node of the neural network based on bit widths of the input data values and corresponding weight values, the processor selects the bit width P during training. The processor adjusts the magnitudes of the weight values during iterative stages of training the node such that an L1 norm value of the weight values of the node does not exceed a corresponding weight magnitude limit.

  • Patent number: 11994939
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for generating remedy recommendations for power and performance issues within semiconductor software and hardware. For example, the disclosed systems and methods can apply a rule-based model to telemetry data to generate rule-based root-cause outputs as well as telemetry-based unknown outputs. The disclosed systems and methods can further apply a root-cause machine learning model to the telemetry-based unknown outputs to analyze deep and complex failure patterns with the telemetry-based unknown outputs to ultimately generate one or more root-cause remedy recommendations that are specific to the identified failure and the client computing device that is experiencing that failure.
