Publication number: 20240078285Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to accelerating multiplication of sparse matrices. In one example, a processor is to fetch and decode an instruction having fields to specify locations of first, second, and third matrices, and an opcode indicating the processor is to multiply and accumulate matching non-zero (NZ) elements of the first and second matrices with corresponding elements of the third matrix, and executing the decoded instruction as per the opcode to generate NZ bitmasks for the first and second matrices, broadcast up to two NZ elements at a time from each row of the first matrix and each column of the second matrix to a processing engine (PE) grid, each PE to multiply and accumulate matching NZ elements of the first and second matrices with corresponding elements of the third matrix. Each PE further to store an NZ element for use in a subsequent multiplications.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Dan BAUM, Chen KOREN, Elmoustapha OULD-AHMED-VALL, Michael ESPIG, Christopher J.

Patent number: 7334597Abstract: Bypass valve assembly that selectively establishes a bypass path for a fluid delivery system and having a body member with a fluid inlet and a bypass fluid outlet, a slidable piston assembly and a slidable cage assembly. Spring members bias the piston assembly and the cage assembly to a closed position to prevent fluid flow from the fluid inlet to the bypass fluid outlet when the delivery pressure is between an upper first threshold pressure value and a lower second threshold pressure value. When the delivery system pressure exceeds the first threshold pressure value, the piston assembly is moved to a first open position that permits fluid flow to the bypass fluid outlet; and when the delivery system pressure is less than the second threshold pressure value, the piston assembly is moved to a second open position to permit fluid flow to the bypass fluid outlet.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2004Date of Patent: February 26, 2008Assignee: Corken, Inc.Inventors: Michael F. Hughes, Paul J. Lutes, Stephen Seymour

Patent number: 6644039Abstract: A delivery system for transferring a delivery fluid from a delivery tank to a customer tank while maintaining a predetermined vessel pressure in the delivery tank, including a pump assembly pumping fluid from the delivery tank and a piping system passing the pumped fluid to the customer tank. A diverter diverts a slip stream portion of the pumped delivery fluid and a heat exchanger assembly selectively heats or cools the slip stream portion for return to the delivery tank. A sensor monitors a selected condition in the delivery tank and a controller responds to the sensor to control the amount and thermal condition of the slip stream returned to the delivery tank.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2001Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Corken, Inc.Inventors: Michael F. Hughes, Paul J. Lutes, Don D. Crowder, Alan P. Tiefenbrun

Patent number: 5431552Abstract: A sliding vane pump having an inside liner with a constant radius pump arc and a constant radius stop arc, connected together by cycloidal arcs. The liner has inlet slots arranged extending around a perimeter of a liner extending into the pump arc for maximum filling of the pumping volume. A herringbone-shaped slot arrangement is provided on a outlet side which increases vane life, increases sealing around the vanes on the outlet side, and decreases liner wear. A relief/fill porting arrangement is provided to pressurize the fluid in the pump chamber, or alternately to relieve pressure from the pump chamber. An improved thrust absorber is described particularly useful for truck mounting of the pump. An asymmetrical inside profile for the liner assists in pump operation by providing a fluid mathematical profile which approaches zero acceleration forces at the point of tangency.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1994Date of Patent: July 11, 1995Assignee: Corken, Inc.Inventors: James J. Davis, James D. Gray, Michael F. Hughes, Ronald A. Schuller, Michael W. Spidell, Alan P. Tiefenbrun

Patent number: 4746280Abstract: A sliding vane pump having a hydraulic vane actuation system. The pump includes a case with a liner having an eccentric surface therein. A rotor and shaft rotate within the liner. The rotor has a plurality of radial slots therein, with a vane slidably disposed in each of the slots. Each vane has a radially inner edge with first and second sides extending substantially normally therefrom. A radially outer edge extends normally from the first side and is opposite and substantially parallel to the radially inner edge. A beveled edge extends radially inwardly from the outer edge and interconnects the outer edge with the second side. As the rotor rotates, the beveled edge is the leading edge of the vane. A plurality of radially oriented holes are defined through each vane. The holes intersect the inner edge and a portion of the beveled edge and a portion of the outer edge.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1987Date of Patent: May 24, 1988Assignee: Corken International CorporationInventors: Willie Wystemp, Michael F.
