Publication number: 20250117647Abstract: A method that may be computer implemented converts a tensor value from a first format to a second format and trains a neural network. The method determines a maximum exponent code in the first format and subtracts a first bias to obtain the highest needed exponent. It determines a second bias from the highest available code (HAC) in the second format and the HNE, and converts the tensor value from the first format to the second format by using the second bias instead of the first bias. The method uses the second format to train the neural network. The method may round the mantissa of the tensor value in the first format to obtain a rounded mantissa of the tensor value for the second format.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2023Publication date: April 10, 2025Applicant: SambaNova Systems, Inc.Inventors: Valentina Popescu, Jeffrey S.

Patent number: 12268417Abstract: Intravascular delivery system is designed for a safe and efficient access to secondary and tertiary vascular structures, such as the branches of the coronary sinus, to enhance the delivery and deployment of various catheters, such as, for example, pacemaker electrical leads. The over-the-wire system features a straight, or alternatively shaped, micro-catheter distal tip of an inner catheter that seamlessly cooperates with a peel-away reinforced outer catheter. The inner catheter and the peel-away reinforced outer catheter are advanced in their engaged mode of operation towards (or beyond) the target site. Subsequently, the inner and outer catheters are disengaged, and the inner catheter is removed from the outer catheter. A pacemaker lead may be advanced over the wire inside the outer catheter to the target site for deployment. Subsequently, the outer catheter is easily split and may be rapidly removed from the blood vessel.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2024Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: VANTIS VASCULAR, INC.Inventors: Tim A.
