  • Patent number: 12295115
    Abstract: A stabilizing fixture to hold and stabilize a server contained within different sizes of server cabinets includes a base, a pressing component and an adjusting component. The pressing component is slidably coupled with the base in a first direction. A first pressing surface is defined on the pressing component for pressing a server. The adjusting component includes a screw and a nut. When the screw is rotated relative to the nut, the nut is driven to move in a second direction, and the nut acts on the pressing component to drive the pressing component in the first direction to press the server. As the pressing component moves along the first direction, the distance between the two pressing component changes to accommodate servers of different sizes.

  • Publication number: 20240211727
    Abstract: A computer-implemented process for training a neural network having a plurality of transform layers includes the following operations. Input data for one transform layer of the plurality of transform layers is transformed by the one transform layer into output data. A neural-backed decision tree is generated for the transform layer, a neural-backed decision tree. The transforming and the generating are repeated for each of the plurality of transform layers. A neural-backed decision tree map for a particular one of the plurality of transform layers maps output data of the particular one of the plurality of transform layers into a list of interpretable words from a generative search domain of facts and evidence.
