Abstract: A neural network model is augmented for dynamic configuration and execution in real-time according to performance constraints. In an embodiment, the neural network model is a transformer neural network model. The performance constraints may include a metric, such as inferencing execution time or energy consumption and a target value for the metric. The augmented neural network model is characterized for various configurations and settings are determined corresponding to a variety of the performance constraints. One or more performance constraints may be provided as an input to dynamically select a configuration of the augmented neural network model. Through dynamic configuration, the augmented neural network model may adapt to real-time changes in the performance constraints. However, the trained weights for an original (before augmentation) neural network model may be used by the augmented neural network model without modification.

Abstract: An electro-mechanical device includes a payload of a magnet affixed to a mirror, and a coil assembly. The coil assembly has a body with wound electrically conducting wires and a payload aperture through which the payload travels. When voltage is applied to the coil assembly, current through the coil assembly generates a magnetic field resulting in a net upward force on the magnet that accelerates the payload to travel upward through the payload aperture for the mirror to block an optical pulse. As the magnet travels through the payload aperture, due to a magnetization direction of the magnet and a magnetic field in an upper portion of the coil assembly, the magnet experiences a net deceleration force that arrests the payload.
