  • Patent number: 11440154
    Abstract: This document discloses a system and method for polishing a metal surface, using a grinding machine and a burnishing machine. The grinding machine comprises an arm coupled with a grinding wheel for grinding the internal surface of a workpiece, an arm rotation drive block configured to drive rotation of the arm around its longitudinal axis, an arm movement drive block configured to move the arm longitudinally and vertically, and rollers for rotating the workpiece around its cylindrical axis via friction with an external surface of the workpiece. The arm comprises a fixed main shaft, a universal joint shaft and a head section coupled with the grinding wheel, wherein the head section is configured to oscillate vertically, allowing the grinding wheel to follow up-and-down fluctuations of the workpiece. The burnishing machine is configured to tumble the workpiece including a tumbling detergent and tumbling beads therein.

  • Publication number: 20220255653
    Abstract: Techniques for facilitating a robust clock synchronization across a computer network that presumes network jitter exists are discussed herein. A first device and a second device transceive a plurality of sets of time-synchronization messages to synchronize a synchronization clock of the second device to a first clock of the first device. The second device calculates a smoothing of time delay data of a plurality of sets. The time delay data is associated with a transmission duration of time-synchronization messages of the sets of the plurality. The second device sets a synchronization clock based on a time at the first device and the smoothed time delay data.

  • Patent number: 11404049
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for integrating speech-to-text transcription in a productivity application are presented. A request to access a real-time speech-to-text transcription of an audio signal that is being received by a second device is sent by a first device. The real-time speech-to-text transcription may be surfaced in a transcription pane of a productivity application on the first device. A request to translate the transcription to a different language may be received. The transcription may be translated in real-time and surfaced in the transcription pane. A selection of a word in the surfaced transcription may be received. A request to drag the word from the transcription pane and drop it in a window in the productivity application outside of the transcription pane may be received. The word may be surfaced in the window in the productivity application outside of the transcription pane.

  • Publication number: 20220237456
    Abstract: A data processing system having a neural network architecture for receiving a binary network input and, in dependence on the binary network input, propagating signals via a plurality of processing nodes, in accordance with respective binary weights, to form a network output, the data processing system being configured to train a node by implementing an error correcting function to identify a set of binary weights which minimize, for a given input to the node, any error between an output of the node when formed in accordance with current binary weights of the node and a preferred output from the node and to update the binary weights of the node to be the identified weights. This training is performed without storing and/or using any higher arithmetic precision weights or other components.

  • Publication number: 20220192066
    Abstract: A highly-conformal, pliable thin electromagnetic (EM) skin for altering at least one electromagnetic property of a surface includes a pliable thin film, and sub-wavelength elements incorporated into and/or on the pliable thin film which are smaller in scale than the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation they are intended to influence. The electromagnetic skin readily conforms to contours of a surface to which it attaches or otherwise adheres to. Such electromagnetic skin can be used to cover various surface and platforms on equipment, walls, vehicles, and aircraft to change the electromagnetic properties of such surfaces to achieve certain functions that are not achievable with simple ground plane surfaces. The EM skin may be judiciously configured to alter at least one electromagnetic property of the surface by blocking, absorbing, enhancing, and/or bending waves of electromagnetic radiation.

  • Publication number: 20220171996
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for a shuffling-type gradient for training a machine learning model using a stochastic gradient descent (SGD) includes the operations of uniformly randomly distributing data samples or coordinate updates of a training data, and calculating the learning rates for a no-shuffling scheme and a shuffling scheme. A combined operation of the no-shuffling scheme and the shuffling scheme of the training data is performed using a stochastic gradient descent (SGD) algorithm. The combined operation is switched to performing only the shuffling scheme from the no-shuffling scheme based on one or more predetermined criterion; and training the machine learning models with the training data based on the combined no-shuffling scheme and shuffling scheme.
