Abstract: A backpack body has an openable accommodation chamber having a top opening. The accommodation chamber utilizes a restricting structure to position an energy absorption band. The energy absorption band includes a first layer and a second layer that are coincidingly bound. The top ends of the first and second layers extend first and second connecting portions respectively. The first and second connecting portions divergently protrude from the backpack body via the opening. The first connecting portion is configured for coupling with a safety harness, while the second connecting portion is for coupling with an anti-falling device. When the user falls, the falling makes the restricting structure release the first and second layers, so that the first and second layers leave the accommodation chamber via the opening for anti-falling suspension. Accordingly, the present invention has real improvements, including fine appearance, economic efficiency, and etc.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for implementing distribution of a neural network workload are described herein. A discovery message is encoded that includes a latency requirement and requested resources for a workload of a neural network. A discovery response, from a proximate resource and in response to the discovery message, is decoded and includes available resources of the proximate resource available for the workload based on the requested resources for the workload. The proximate resource is selected to execute the workload based on the available resources of the proximate resource. In response to the discovery response, an offload request is encoded that includes a description of the workload. The description of the workload identifies the node to execute at the proximate resource. In response to the offload request, an input is provided to a ADAS system based on the result.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes a wearable device having a sensor that detects whisper data from a user. The whisper data may include vibrational data, audio data, and/or biometric signals, and correspond to words whispered by the user at a first decibel level. The system also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor that extracts features associated with the whisper data including frequencies and/or amplitudes associated with the whispered data, and generates speech data based on the whisper data and the features. The speech data corresponds to the words spoken at a second decibel level, where the second decibel level is greater than the first decibel level.
