Publication number: 20180276537Abstract: A method and a system for implementing a mathematical algorithm in a neural architecture and transferring that neural architecture to an integrated circuit (IC) chip. The neural architecture has neurons that are capable of converting current to frequency, voltage to frequency, frequency to frequency and time to frequency. The neurons can have multi-sensor inputs (multiple synapses) for either scaling or inhibiting neuron outputs. The neural architecture-to-hardware conversion method is specifically tailored for neural architectures for image processing applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2018Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventors: Richard Joseph Wood, Brent Hollosi, Robert D'Angelo, Wes Uy, Geremy Freifeld, Nathan Lowry, Haiyao Huang, Dorothy Carol Poppe, Christopher Salthouse

Publication number: 20080224614Abstract: An arc tube mounting assembly (1) for a metal halide arc lamp (10) includes frame members (8, 9) for supporting an arc tube (2). The arc tube (2) is supported from above by a looped frame member (8) having a loop (8A) which extends along opposing sides, and across top and base ends (2A, 2B) of the arc tube (2), thus evenly distributing the current to discharge electrode 7, thereby cancelling magnetic forces which could displace the arc from the center of the arc tube (2), resulting in improved lumen maintenance and extended life. A centering circle (8B) of the frame member (8) wraps around the lower ceramic end plug (4), providing coaxial alignment of the arc tube (2) and the tubular outer envelope (11).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2006Publication date: September 18, 2008Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, N.V.Inventors: Joseph Woods, John Bailey, Joseph Carbone
