  • Publication number: 20240127031
    Abstract: A graph neural network (GNN) model is used in a scheduling process for compiling a deep neural network (DNN). The DNN, and parameter options for scheduling the DNN, are represented as a graph, and the GNN predicts a set of parameters that is expected to have a low cost. Using the GNN-based model, a compiler can produce a schedule for compiling the DNN in a relatively short and predictable amount of time, even for DNNs with many layers and/or many parameter options. For example, the GNN-based model reduces the overhead of exploring every parameter combination and does not exclude combinations from consideration like prior heuristic-based approaches.

  • Publication number: 20240078981
    Abstract: A method of driving a multi-pixel electrophoretic display that is designed to enable at least three colors, e.g., eight, at each pixel. This method uses a first drive scheme capable of effecting transitions between all of the color states that can be displayed at each pixel; and a second drive scheme that contains only transitions ending at white or black, which is very useful for drawing black lines on a white page, reading black text on a white page, or reading white text on a black page. In order to control the amount of impulse potential accumulated at each pixel during the switch between drive modes, two intermediate transitional modes are added.

  • Publication number: 20230340971
    Abstract: A device that performs wireless actuation by inductive heating. The device includes a bladder configured to expand or retract, so as to change the bladder's interior area. The device also includes a container, fluidly coupled to the bladder via a connector, that houses a magnetic rod suspended in a fluid medium. The magnetic rod is configured to react to a magnetic field that produces a phase transition of the fluid medium, causing the fluid medium to be transferred to the bladder's interior area, via the connector, expanding the bladder. The device further includes an induction coil, disposed around the container, and the induction coil's first end is coupled to the container's interior. The device also includes an induction heater, coupled to the induction coil's second end, that powers the induction coil, such that the induction coil generates the magnetic field within the container.

  • Publication number: 20230074431
    Abstract: Devices and methods for measuring phosphate levels in a fluid, such as natural water, are disclosed. The devices and methods rely upon the anodic dissolution of molybdenum to generate a reagent from a phosphate-containing fluid, which is then measured electrochemically to determine a level of phosphate ions in the fluid. The different embodiments of devices used for performing this technique are transportable and have extended lifetimes when compared to existing devices used to measure phosphate levels in fluid. They can be used in situ at the source of a site to generate results within about two minutes, within about thirty seconds, and even within about ten seconds. They also consume much less energy and molybdenum per measurement. The disclosed embodiments include devices having one or two molybdenum electrodes, with one of the electrodes disposed near a working electrode. Various methods for determining phosphate levels in fluids are also provided.
