Abstract: A system and method for using super geo-fences to improve efficiency of geo-fences is disclosed. A system determines a geo-fence density based on a number of geo-fences in an area around a client system. In response to determining the geo-fence density is greater than a predetermined density value, the system selects a number of geo-fences that is greater than a fixed number of geo-fences that the client system is capable of handling. The system groups the selected geo-fences into a first and second group of geo-fences and generates a super geo-fence that encompasses the first group. The system transmits the first and second group of geo-fences and the super geo-fence to an application stored at the client device. The application adds geo-fence data corresponding to the second group to the client system in response to detecting the client system crossing a boundary of the super geo-fence.

Abstract: A compute-in-memory neural network architecture combines neural circuits implemented in CMOS technology and synaptic conductance crossbar arrays. The crossbar memory structures store the weight parameters of the neural network in the conductances of the synapse elements, which define interconnects between lines of neurons of consecutive layers in the network at the crossbar intersection points.

Abstract: A system to effectuate passive check-in with respect to a user's mobile device is described. A server system may be configured to receive communications from a GPS-enabled mobile device (e.g., a mobile phone), extract a stream of locations from the received communications, and use the location information to determine whether a boundary-crossing event has occurred with respect to the mobile device. In response to detecting a boundary-crossing event, the server may communicate a message, such as a recommendation, to the mobile device.

Abstract: The multimodal query-driven imager provides efficient coding and streaming of visual information acquired directly on the focal plane. The query-driven approach to visual event coding uses clocked time-division multiplexing to continuously scan the array, querying each pixel for threshold change events in pixel intensity.

Abstract: A system and method for using super geo-fences and virtual fences to improve efficiency of geo-fences is disclosed. A server system stores geo-fence data for a plurality of geo-fences and receives a request for updated geo-fence data from a client system. The server system selects one or more geo-fences and generates a super geo-fence that encompasses all the selected geo-fences. The server system determines a super geo-fence reduction factor. The server system reduces the size of the super geo-fence based on the determined reduction factor. The server system then transmits the generated super geo-fence and the selected one or more geo-fences to the client system.

Abstract: Techniques for measuring on-chip component parameters are described herein. In one embodiment, a method for measuring one or more on-chip component parameters comprises measuring a time for an on-chip capacitor to charge to a voltage approximately equal to a reference voltage, and measuring a time for the on-chip capacitor to charge to a voltage approximately equal to a voltage across an on-chip component. The method also comprises determining a parameter of the on-chip component based on the measured time for the on-chip capacitor to charge to the voltage approximately equal to the reference voltage, the measured time for the on-chip capacitor to charge to the voltage approximately equal to the voltage across the on-chip component, and the reference voltage.
