Abstract: A power system includes an energy storage system having a rechargeable energy storage element and a converter connected to the rechargeable energy storage element and configured to connect to a bus so that the energy storage system is connected in parallel with a load and a main power supply system. The energy storage system may cooperate with the main power supply system to supply power to the load with each of the energy storage system and the main power supply system configured as a voltage source with a corresponding droop function. The system may include a control circuit configured to monitor a voltage of the bus and control the converter to either charge or discharge the rechargeable energy storage element based on the voltage of the bus.

Abstract: A digital compute-in-memory (DCIM) macro includes a memory cell array and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU). The memory cell array stores weight data of a neural network. The ALU receives parallel bits of a same input channel in an activation input, and generates a convolution computation output of the parallel bits and target weight data in the memory cell array.

Abstract: A digital compute-in-memory (DCIM) system includes a first DCIM macro. The first DCIM macro includes a first memory cell array and a first arithmetic logic unit (ALU). The first memory cell array has N rows that are configured to store weight data of a neural network in a single weight data download session, wherein N is a positive integer not smaller than two. The first ALU is configured to receive a first activation input, and perform convolution operations upon the first activation input and a single row of weight data selected from the N rows of the first memory cell array to generate first convolution outputs.

Abstract: A biosensor applicable to an environment suitable for biosensing is provided, which is a solid-state element for performing detections in an aqueous environment. The biosensor at least includes a biosensing layer, a light-emitting diode and a photodiode. The biosensing layer causes changes in the light-emitting property thereof after absorbing, adsorbing and/or bonding with a biological substance released during in vivo signal transduction in an organism, and the rays of light generated by excitation of the light-emitting diode causes the biosensing layer to emit fluorescence. After the fluorescence is absorbed by the photodiode, it can be converted into an interpretable photocurrent signal. Afterwards, the meaning of the in vivo signal transduction can be understood by interpretation of the photocurrent signal.
