  • Patent number: 11662986
    Abstract: A computer program compiled for a machine learning accelerator hardware and associated with a default input data size is received. An execution of an operation of the computer program is initiated. It is identified that a data size of an input data of the operation is smaller than the default input data size. The smaller data size of the input data of the operation rather than the default input data size is caused to be transferred to the machine learning accelerator hardware for the input data of the operation.

  • Publication number: 20210256473
    Abstract: A computer method for licensing proprietary rights using a blockchain includes displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) to a first user representing a first enterprise. The GUI includes a selection object for selecting one item from one or more standard proprietary rights agreements. The computer method receives, into a server computer from the first user via the GUI, a selection of one of the one or more standard proprietary rights agreements for making a proprietary rights agreement with a second enterprise, and provides, via the GUI, an executable electronic document corresponding to the selected proprietary rights agreement to a user having signature authority representing the first enterprise and to a user having signature authority representing the second enterprise.

  • Patent number: 8300804
    Abstract: The present invention provides a communication instrument mounting apparatus comprising a mounting bracket having one or more mounting members shaped to engage the rear portion of a communication instrument. The mounting bracket of the present invention provides mounting sleeves for receiving mounting members. Such sleeves may be utilized to releasably attach the mounting bracket of the present invention directly to a mounting surface and/or a conventional input junction box. The mounting member of the present invention provides walls defining at least one cavity through which input cables may be inserted. In one embodiment, the cavity of the present invention has a generally rectangular configuration and is positioned upon the mounting bracket so as to be adjacent to one or more attachment ports of the instrument. The relative positioning of the cavity allows cables to be connected and/or disconnected in a convenient manner.
