  • Method, product, and apparatus for a machine learning process using weight sharing within a systolic array having reduced memory bandwidth
    Patent number: 11823018
    Abstract: An approach is described for a method, product, and apparatus for a machine learning process using weight sharing within a systolic array having reduced memory bandwidth. According to some embodiments, this approach includes providing a systolic array that includes processing elements which each have some number of storage elements for storing weights. For example, the weights can be reused for different data sets by identifying/capturing a current state of the storage elements, generating a plan to transition to a target state of those storage elements, and application of the transition plan such that weights that are already stored in those storage elements can be reused and/or relocate. This lowers the bandwidth requirements for weight memory by allowing weights that have previously been read into the systolic array to be reused.

  • Contractile device for use as an actuator, pump or compressor
    Patent number: 11821412
    Abstract: This invention concerns a contractile device. The device includes a body, which has a wall including a tessellation of elements. The body is deformable through pressurisation of fluid within the body between a first, extended state and a second, contracted state in which the axial length of the body is reduced and the internal volume increased compared to the first, normal state. The tessellation of elements includes a series of protruding and intruding formations which are arranged such that the body remains substantially cylindrical through its deformation between its normal and deformed states. The protruding and intruding formations of the tessellation of elements may be in the form of protruding and intruding pyramids.

  • Methods and systems for acquiring three-dimensional electron diffraction data
    Patent number: 11815476
    Abstract: Crystallographic information of crystalline sample can be determined from one or more three-dimensional diffraction pattern datasets generated based on diffraction patterns collected from multiple crystals. The crystals for diffraction pattern acquisition may be selected based on a sample image. At a location of each selected crystal, multiple diffraction patterns of the crystal are acquired at different angles of incidence by tilting the electron beam, wherein the sample is not rotated while the electron beam is directed at the selected crystal.

  • Using constraint programming to obtain a machine maintenance schedule for maintenance tasks
    Patent number: 11797951
    Abstract: Information about a set of maintenance tasks and time windows includes a cost value per task per time window. Based on the information, a data model generator generates a data model, including task elements; time elements; cost elements; a total cost element; a constraint that requires each task element be assigned a time window from a respective domain, such that each time element is assigned a task count from a respective domain; a constraint that requires each cost element be assigned a cost value associated with a time window assigned (or to be assigned) to a task element corresponding to the cost element; and a constraint that requires the total cost element be assigned a total cost value that is a sum of the cost values assigned (or to be assigned) to the cost elements. Based on the data model, a CP solver determines a proposed maintenance schedule.

  • Enhanced text-to-911 system via cloud-based page service
    Patent number: 11785131
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of providing enhanced content to a PSAP or other service center whereby when a 911 call is to be initiated, prior to the call or text communication being sent, the software application on the device contacts the cloud-based dynamic page service. The cloud-based dynamic page service receives event information, dynamically creates a page for the event along with a page identifier, and sends the page identifier to the software application of the initiating device. Then, the software application on the device initiates a 911 communication and includes the page identifier with the communication. In some cases, the page identifier may be sent as a separate communication.
