  • Patent number: 11977766
    Abstract: A hierarchical network enables access for a stacked memory system including or more memory dies that each include multiple memory tiles. The processor die includes multiple processing tiles that are stacked with the one or more memory die. The memory tiles that are vertically aligned with a processing tile are directly coupled to the processing tile and comprise the local memory block for the processing tile. The hierarchical network provides access paths for each processing tile to access the processing tile's local memory block, the local memory block coupled to a different processing tile within the same processing die, memory tiles in a different die stack, and memory tiles in a different device. The ratio of memory bandwidth (byte) to floating-point operation (B:F) may improve 50× for accessing the local memory block compared with conventional memory. Additionally, the energy consumed to transfer each bit may be reduced by 10×.

  • Publication number: 20240144034
    Abstract: A system coordinates services between users and providers. The system trains a computer model to predict a user state of a user using data about past services. The prediction is based on data associated with a request submitted by a user. Request data can include current data about the user's behavior and information about the service that is independent of the particular user behavior or characteristics. The user behavior may be compared against the user's prior behavior to determine differences in the user behavior for this request and normal behavior of prior requests. The system can alter the parameters of a service based on the prediction about the state of the user requesting the service.

  • Publication number: 20240134598
    Abstract: Intelligent voice response systems and methods may include one or more machine readable instructions stored in a memory that cause a processor to receive an automated input including at least two of the following: a vehicle metric of the vehicle, a driving score of a user of the vehicle, a driving time during a trip of the vehicle, a geographical location of the vehicle, an adverse weather event within a predetermined distance of the vehicle, a historical driving route of the vehicle, a predicted driving route of the vehicle within a first predetermined period of time, or a sound within a predetermined distance of the vehicle. An action may be generated and implemented and reception of an affirmative response from the user may be determined. An alert may be generated to the user based on the affirmative response.

  • Publication number: 20240130688
    Abstract: This relates to methods for measuring irregularities in a signal and corresponding devices. The devices can include a PPG sensor unit configured to detect multiple occurrences of a given event in the measured signal(s) over a sampling interval. In some instances, the device can register the occurrences of the events. In some examples, the device can include one or more motion sensors configured to detect whether the device is in a low-motion state. The device may delay initiating measurements when the device is not in a low-motion state to enhance measurement accuracy. Examples of the disclosure further include resetting the sample procedure based on one or more factors such as the number of non-qualifying measurements. In some examples, the device can be configured to perform both primary and secondary measurements, where the primary measurements can include readings using a set of operating conditions different from the secondary measurements.

  • Patent number: 11965768
    Abstract: A housing assembly for a fluid sensor assembly includes a housing having a first and second sensing volumes. A fluid port attached to the housing has a porous membrane covering first and second fluid apertures. The first sensing volume included a vertically-oriented waveguide and is fluidly coupled to an exterior of the housing through the first fluid aperture, where the first aperture port has an area smaller than an area of a cross section of the waveguide. The second sensing volume is coupled to the exterior of the housing through the second fluid aperture, the second fluid aperture having an area larger than a cross section of the second sensing volume. While the first sensing volume and the second sensing volume are both in fluid communication with an exterior of the housing, the fluid port and porous membrane internally isolate the first sensing volume from the second sensing volume.

  • Patent number: 11966348
    Abstract: Methods of operating a serial data bus divide series of data bits into sequences of one or more bits and encode the sequences as N-level symbols, which are then transmitted at multiple discrete voltage levels. These methods may be utilized to communicate over serial data lines to improve bandwidth and reduce crosstalk and other sources of noise.

  • Publication number: 20240112034
    Abstract: Dynamic timers are determined using machine learning. The timers are used to control the amount of time that new data transaction requests wait before being processed by a data transaction processing system. The timers are adjusted based on changing conditions within the data transaction processing system. The dynamic timers may be determined using machine learning inference based on feature values calculated as a result of the changing conditions.
