  • Publication number: 20240127041
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed related to a convolutional structured state space model (ConvSSM), which has a tensor-structured state but a continuous-time parameterization and linear state updates. The linearity may be exploited to use parallel scans for subquadratic parallelization across the spatiotemporal sequence. The ConvSSM effectively models long-range dependencies and, when followed by a nonlinear operation forms a spatiotemporal layer (ConvS5) that does not require compressing frames into tokens, can be efficiently parallelized across the sequence, provides an unbounded context, and enables fast autoregressive generation.

  • Patent number: 7542945
    Abstract: System terminal integrated with biometric sensor, such as a fingerprint sensor. Transaction terminal such as a point of sale system, automated teller machine (ATM) or other system. The system may include a touch screen display. Also, logic to process sales transactions may be included. The transaction terminal may include a cash drawer. The system authenticates users based on data from the sensor, and can regulate access, for example to a cash drawer, based on the authentication. Also described is a sensor module, security system, and method of operating a transaction terminal.

  • Publication number: 20050263474
    Abstract: An adjustable shelf system for food equipment includes at least one series of vertically spaced support surfaces mounted in the food equipment for providing support to a back of a shelf, and at least two front brackets, each having a base and a support member extending from the base. The support member has an outer edge and a series of vertically spaced notches extending from the outer edge toward the base. The notches have a first elevation and a second elevation lower than the first elevation. The first elevation is located between the edge and the second elevation, and the second elevation is located between the first elevation and the base. The front brackets are mounted vertically in the food equipment such that the second elevation of the notches in the front bracket is at the same elevation as corresponding back support surfaces. The front brackets are also mounted such that the notches extend in a direction generally parallel with a plane that intersects the front brackets.
