  • Machine-implemented method for the adaptive, intelligent routing of computations in heterogeneous computing environments
    Patent number: 10676200
    Abstract: A machine-implemented method for the intelligent, adaptive routing of computations in heterogeneous GPU computing environments is provided herein. The method is implemented by a machine as a series of machine-executable steps that cause the machine to route mathematical and statistical computations in engineering, scientific, financial, and general-purpose applications to the processor, or a plurality of processors, that is best able to process the computations.
    Type: Grant

  • Grain angle sensor
    Patent number: 7466403
    Abstract: A grain angle sensor system for measuring grain angle direction of surface fibers of a wood object with respect to at least one of a surface plane direction or a transverse direction, such as a dive angle, or with respect to both the surface plane and transverse direction. The system includes multiple laser diodes and photosensor detectors integrated into an electro-optical assembly that can sequence the firing of the lasers to minimize crosstalk. An exemplary assembly includes an enclosure housing an electronic control board connected to circuit cards containing multiple laser diodes and multiple photosensor detectors.
