Patent number: 11966837Abstract: In an approach for compressing a neural network, a processor receives a neural network, wherein the neural network has been trained on a set of training data. A processor receives a compression ratio. A processor compresses the neural network based on the compression ratio using an optimization model to solve for sparse weights. A processor re-trains the compressed neural network with the sparse weights. A processor outputs the re-trained neural network.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dzung Phan, Lam Nguyen, Nam H. Nguyen, Jayant R. Kalagnanam

Patent number: 11929538Abstract: A RF dielectric filter comprising a block of dielectric material including top and bottom exterior longitudinal surfaces and side exterior surfaces covered with a layer of conductive material. RF signal input/output pads are located at opposed ends of the block. Each of the RF signal input/output pads comprises a strip of conductive material bridging between the bottom exterior surface and the side exterior surface. A strip or region of dielectric material surrounds all the sides of the elongate strip of conductive material except for one end of the strip of conductive material on the side exterior surface which is in a direct unitary coupling relationship with the remainder of the conductive material on the side exterior surface. In one embodiment, the strip or region of dielectric material is generally U-shaped and can vary in width.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: CTS CorporationInventors: Dong Jing, Gabriel Lopez, Nam Phan

Patent number: 9666921Abstract: A dielectric wave guide filter comprising a block of dielectric material defining a plurality of resonators separated by an interior layer of conductive material. A first direct path for the transmission of an RF signal is defined by the plurality of resonators. An external substrate is coupled to an exterior surface of the block of dielectric material and defines a pair of RF signal input/output transmission vias filled with a conductive material and an interior RF signal transmission line extending between and interconnecting the pair or RF signal input/output transmission vias and providing an indirect cross-coupling path for the RF signal between two of the resonators separated by the interior layer of conductive material.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: CTS CorporationInventors: Alexandre Rogozine, Nam Phan
