Patent number: 12242416Abstract: A systolic neural CPU (SNCPU) including a two-dimensional systolic array of reconfigurable processing elements (PE's) fuses a conventional CPU with a convolutional neural network (CNN) accelerator in four phases of operation: row-CPU, column-accelerator, column-CPU, and row-accelerator. The SNCPU cycles through the four phases to avoid costly data movement across cores, reduce overhead, and reduce latency. The PE's communicate bidirectionally with neighboring PE's and memory units at an outer edge of the array. A row of PE's is configurable into a first deep neural network (DNN) accumulator at a first time and configurable into a first CPU pipeline at a second time. A column of PE's is configurable into a second DNN accumulator at a third time and configurable into a second CPU pipeline at a fourth time.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Northwestern UniversityInventors: Jie Gu, Yuhao Ju

Publication number: 20240098411Abstract: Adaptively controlling a speaker assembly allows an acoustic characteristic of the speaker assembly to automatically change based on one or more factors. For example, when external noise is detected, the associated noise volume level is determined, and control instructions are generated based on the noise volume level. The control instructions cause the speaker assembly to adaptively increase the volume level to effectively cancel the noise volume. In another example, when a speaker assembly in a vehicle changes from playing a media file to conducting a phone conversation, the volume level associated with the phone conversation may increase. In this regard, control instructions can be generated and used to adaptively reduce the volume level of the phone conversation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Jie GU, Paul X.
