Abstract: The description relates to accelerator architectures for deep learning models. One example can obtain a deep learning training script associated with a deep learning model and extract an operator graph from the training script. The example can split the operator graph into first and second portions of a heterogeneous pipeline and tune a first accelerator core for the first portion of the heterogeneous pipeline and a second accelerator core for the second portion of the heterogeneous pipeline. The example can also generate a hardware architecture that includes the first accelerator core and the second accelerator core arranged to collectively accomplish the deep learning model.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method to facilitate blockchain-based business transactions between a community of users. The system comprises a novel platform that allows individual users to create scenario-based business transactions building blocks on the Internet and/or blockchain. Such user-created scenarios can be linked. The system generates and executes contracts based on linked scenarios that facilitate a seamless transaction of goods or services between two or more parties. Information relating to scenarios and contracts can be immutably stored on the blockchain and accessed by users. System users have access to community and personal dashboards configured to allow the users to manage their wallets, scenarios, contracts, transactions, notifications, and general settings.

Abstract: Amplification circuitry is disclosed that couples neutralization transistors to amplification transistors to neutralize parasitic capacitance of the amplification transistors. Gates of a first amplification transistor and a first neutralization transistor are coupled together, and gates of a second amplification transistor and a second neutralization transistor are also coupled together. Drains of the first amplification transistor and the second neutralization transistor are coupled together, and drains of the second amplification transistor and the first neutralization transistor are also coupled together. Sources of neutralization transistors are coupled together at a node, such that a voltage swing of a first signal in the first neutralization transistor may be canceled by a voltage swing of a second signal in the second neutralization transistor. The node also couples to a resistor that prevents charge building in the neutralization transistors.

Abstract: Controlling Network Repository Function (NRF) during discovery within a Fifth Generation (5G) network is described. In an example, the NRF can receive, from a Network Function (NF) consumer associated with the 5G network, a request for information associated with a NF producer type. The NRF can receive, from one or more NF producers associated with the NF producer type, indications of the NF producers and the NRF can generate a list of NF producers based at least in part on the indications. The NRF can select, based at least in part on a configurable parameter, a subset of the list of NF producers and send, responsive to receiving the request, the subset of the list of NF producers to the NF consumer.

Abstract: A system, e.g., associated with a telecommunications network, includes first and second registry devices. In some examples, the first registry device receives a registration message. The second registry device receives a query specifying a type (NFType) of a network function and forwards the query to the first registry device based at least in part on the NFType. The first registry device responds, and the second registry device forwards the response. In some examples, the query specifies a service class and the second registry device forwards the query based at least in part on the service class. In some examples, the first registry device sends an indication of the registration to the second registry device, and the second registry device responds to the query based at least in part on the received indication and on at least one of an NFType or a service class of the query.

Abstract: The methods, systems, and computer readable media discussed herein are directed to maintaining status information of network functions (NFs) associated with one or more network function repository functions (NRFs). An NRF, which may be one of a plurality of NRFs belonging to a group of NRFs, maybe queried. The plurality of NRFs may be synchronized to each other, and the group of NRFs may be one of a plurality of groups of NRFs. One or more NFs may be registered with the NRF, and each NRF of the plurality of NRFs may have one or more corresponding NFs registered to it. The NRF may maintain status information of the one or more NFs registered to the NRF. The NRF may collect information associated with querying of NFs by another NF, and send statistical data based on the collected information to a user interface (UI) of an external device to be displayed on the UI.

Abstract: A convective power generation device is described based on thermal convection and thermal input energy. The energy generation device operates by heating wax and oil by heat from a solar concentrator or geothermal energy; as the weight of the wax becomes liquid that is lighter than the oil, the liquid wax moves up through a pathway; when the liquid wax reaches the top of the pathway, the cooler wax falls towards collecting cups mounted to a continuous belt and forces the belt downward to rotate the belt; when a collector cup of wax reaches the bottom of belt rotation, the wax falls to a reservoir; and the rotation of the belt drives a gearbox, which drives a generator to produce electric power. The convective power generation device has been shown to have higher energy conversion efficiency than photovoltaics.

Abstract: A pressure sensing clip (1) and a system including a bandage (19) for detecting and displaying the pressure applied by a (compression) bandage (19) to a human or animal body in which the pressure sensing clip (1) has an inner bandage penetrating arm (2) and an outer arm (3) hingedly attached to the inner arm (2) at a hinge (4) so that the outer arm (3) is movable between a hingedly closed position with respect to the inner arm (2) and a hingedly open position. The device can be operatively attached to an applied compression bandage, or it can be placed beneath or between the bandage during bandage application so that the bandage covers the sensing part of the device. In the latter application, the ability of the arms of the device to adapt an open configuration allows the bandage to be applied over the inner arm leaving the outer arm to close once the bandage has been applied. The device can receive, store and transmit data to a user.
