  • Patent number: 11836134
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a file system process obtaining locks on a first node and a second node in a tree structure, with the second node being a child node of the first node. The file system process determines a quantity of child nodes of the second. While holding the locks on the first and second nodes, the file system determines whether to proactively split or merge the second node. In response to determining that the quantity of child nodes is within a first range, the file system process splits the second node. If the file system process determines that the quantity of child nodes is within a second range, the file system process merges the second node.

  • Patent number: 11833031
    Abstract: A laser scanning method for forming a Fresnel type gradient index lens in an intraocular lens IOL. The radial profile of the desired optical pathlength (OPL) difference to be achieved in the IOL has multiple zones, each zone ramping from unchanged OPL to one wave, and stepping down to zero. To form a zone of a predefined OPL difference profile, the laser beam is scanned in multiple passes; in each pass, the laser beam is scanned in concentric circles of varying radii covering all or a part of the zone, with laser energy ramping up (along the radius) to a maximum allowed energy and staying at that energy. The ramp up region, which is dependent on the predefined OPL difference profile and the maximum allowed energy, is short, and most part of the pass is scanned at the maximum allowed energy.

  • Publication number: 20230387710
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for controlling the charge and discharge characteristics of lithium-metal liquid-electrolyte (LiMLE) electrochemical cells that ensure extended cycle life even at high charge rates. In some examples, a method comprises charging a LiMLE electrochemical cell using a set of charge characteristics and discharging the cell using a set of discharge characteristics. These characteristics are specifically tailored to the cell design. For example, the cell temperature can be higher during the charge than during the discharge, especially for viscous electrolytes. For example, the cell can be heated before charging, e.g., using a separate heater and/or charge-discharge pulses (before or while charging the cell). In the same or other examples, the set of charge characteristics comprises charge pulses such that each pair of charge pulses is separated by a discharge pulse. The current during each discharge pulse can be greater during each charge pulse.

  • Publication number: 20230359876
    Abstract: Generating instructions for programming a processing element array to implement a convolution operation can include determining that the convolution operation under-utilizes the processing element array. The convolution operation involves using the processing element array to perform a series of matrix multiplications between a set of filters and a set of input matrices. Each filter comprises a weight matrix. Each input matrix is assigned to a respective row in the processing element array. Under-utilization can be determined through detecting that less than a threshold number of rows would be used concurrently. In response to determining that the convolution operation under-utilizes the processing element array, instructions can be added for modifying the convolution operation to increase the number of rows used concurrently. The added instructions are executable to cause at least one input matrix to be processed in parallel across more rows compared to processing without modifying the convolution operation.

  • Publication number: 20230349849
    Abstract: Transient techniques for electrothermal characterization of small (e.g., micro-scale or nano-scale) samples are described. These techniques overcome some of the limitations existing in conventional approaches. These transient techniques involve causing a temperature variation inside a sample, and determining a transient signal response (e.g., a voltage rise or drop) arising in the sample as a result of the temperature variation. In some embodiments, the temperature variation may be caused by allowing amplitude modulated electric current (e.g., stepped current or periodic stepped current) to flow through the sample. Alternatively, or additionally, the temperature variation may be caused by controlling a laser source to irradiate the sample. Thermal characteristics of the sample (e.g., thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, specific heat) can be determined based on the transient response. These transient techniques can be executed by a computer system in an automatic fashion, e.g.
