Publication number: 20250117441Abstract: A method for performing a convolution is described. The method includes providing an activation to a general purpose (GP) processor. The GP processor is coupled with compute engines. Each of the compute engines includes a compute-in-memory (CIM) hardware module. The CIM hardware module stores weights corresponding to a kernel and is configured to perform vector-matrix multiplications (VMMs) for the kernel. The method also includes performing, by the GP processor or at least one of the compute engines, a quantization of the activation to provide a quantized activation. The compute engine(s) perform the VMMs for the quantized activation and the kernel to provide a product. Dequantization of the product is performed by the GP processor or the compute engine(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2024Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Nawab Ali, Hamid Reza Ghasemi, Cagri Eryilmaz, Andrew John Gill, Muzaffer Kal, Alexander Almela Conklin

Patent number: 12075639Abstract: Visually undistorted thin film electronic devices are provided. In one embodiment, a method for producing a thin-film electronic device comprises: opening a scribe in a stack of thin film material layers deposited on a substrate to define an active region and an inactive region of the thin-film electronic device, the stack comprising at least one active semiconductor layer. The active region comprises a non-scribed area of the stack and the inactive region comprises a region of the stack where thin film material was removed by the scribe. The method further comprises depositing at least one scribe fill material into a gap opened by the scribe. The scribe fill material has embedded therein one or more coloring elements that alter an optical characteristics spectrum of the inactive region to obtain an optical characteristics spectrum of the active region within a minimum perceptible difference for an industry defined standard observer.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2023Date of Patent: August 27, 2024Assignees: Solarwindow Technologies, Inc., Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLCInventors: Scott R.
