Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to determine a configuration based at least in part on data stored by at least one data structure of a workload at runtime, and transform the workload into a sparse workload based at least in part on the configuration. In at least one embodiment, one or more sparse workloads (e.g., one or more sparse neural networks) are generated based at least in part on, for example, one or more workloads (e.g., one or more neural networks).

Abstract: A resealable cap having a valve-type plug incorporated therein, and a device for manipulating the valve-type plug into a closed, sealed, position to maintain a decreased pressure in a container.

Abstract: A power down reset circuit for asserting a signal when a first VDD voltage falls below a voltage threshold. The circuit has at least one diode coupled to the first VDD voltage. The at least one diode is configured to produce a second voltage. At least one capacitor is coupled to the at least one diode to maintain the second voltage. A voltage detector asserts a signal when the first VDD voltage drops below a threshold level. The voltage detector is powered by the second voltage and is coupled to the at least one diode.

Abstract: A programming circuit and method to apply a controlled or predetermined voltage pulse for charge transfer to or from the floating gate of a non-volatile memory cell in an incremental manner to control the overall voltage across the gate oxide. Voltage above a transfer threshold voltage, such as above a tunneling threshold voltage, is applied in a stepwise charge transfer manner to or from the floating gate up to a voltage limit that is below the thin oxide damage threshold. Controlling the overall voltage avoids oxide breakdown and enhances reliability.

Abstract: A flash memory programming process incorporates two charge pumps per byte of bit cells. Placing a data “one” value in each bit cell erases an entire memory device. Before programming each cell, a prospective data content is scrutinized. If a data “zero” is to be applied to the bit cell, a charge pump engages to bias the cell and activate a hot electron injection process to affect the programming. If a data “one” is to be applied to the bit cell, no programming activity is undertaken and the process increments to the next bit cell in the data structure. Therefore, total programming time is reduced proportionally to the number of data “one” bits to be programmed. Where more than one charge pump is engaged in parallel to a data structure, total programming time is further reduced when two data “one” values are to be programmed in parallel.

Abstract: A method for remotely monitoring the cardiovascular condition of a patent includes using a data acquisition device at a patient site to non-invasively acquire cardiovascular condition information from a patient. The cardiovascular condition information includes a data stream of pulse pressure-related data. The cardiovascular condition information acquired by the data acquisition device is transmitted to a remote processor capable of performing data processing and data storage functions on the transmitted cardiovascular condition information. The cardiovascular condition information processed by the remote processor is transmitted to a data display device at a healthcare provider site remote from the data acquisition device for permitting the healthcare provider to use the cardiovascular condition information to monitor the cardiovascular condition of the patient.
