Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for designing a data path circuit such as a parallel prefix circuit with reinforcement learning are described. A method can include receiving a first design state of a data path circuit, inputting the first design state of the data path circuit into a machine learning model, and performing reinforcement learning using the machine learning model to output a final design state of the data path circuit, wherein the final design state of the data path circuit has decreased area, power consumption and/or delay as compared to conventionally designed data path circuits.

Abstract: The invention relates to heterocyclic sulfonamide derivatives and their use in the treatment and prophylaxis of autoimmune, inflammatory, cardiovascular, neuronal, auditory, renal and metabolic mediated diseases, and to compositions containing said derivatives and processes for their preparation.

Abstract: A neural network architecture is disclosed for performing video frame prediction using a sequence of video frames and corresponding pairwise optical flows. The neural network processes the sequence of video frames and optical flows utilizing three-dimensional convolution operations, where time (or multiple video frames in the sequence of video frames) provides the third dimension in addition to the two-dimensional pixel space of the video frames. The neural network generates a set of parameters used to predict a next video frame in the sequence of video frames by sampling a previous video frame utilizing spatially-displaced convolution operations. In one embodiment, the set of parameters includes a displacement vector and at least one convolution kernel per pixel. Generating a pixel value in the next video frame includes applying the convolution kernel to a corresponding patch of pixels in the previous video frame based on the displacement vector.

Abstract: A control system having a host computer and one or more control computers connected to an interface for control of a process or machinery. The control computers are capable of automatically initiated network address assignment and configuration when powered up after installation. The network address is based on a location identifier situated in the interface that corresponds to a specific connection thereof to the control computer. The control computer reads the location identifier from the interface and requests a network address. The host computer assigns the network address based on the location identifier. Configuration of the control computer then proceeds. The procedure applies to newly installed control computers, whether first time installment or a replacement for a failed control computer.

Abstract: A metal sheathed heater includes a solid state control device that allows the metal sheathed heater to be more efficiently operated. The control device supplies or terminates power to the heater according to certain conditions. Further, the control device uses predetermined time periods to control power to the heater. Thus, the heater is not kept on unnecessarily.

Abstract: An online system provides users with tools to annotate publications and share such annotations with other users. Publications annotated by a community of users become a richer source of information for the community.

Abstract: A metal sheathed heater includes a thermostat, a means for mounting the thermostat in a secure location, and a joint interconnecting the thermostat with a source of power and a lead wire of the metal sheathed heater. The joint is a type that is moisture and abrasion resistant, mechanically strong, and electrically insulating.

Abstract: A heater for a heating or heating and air conditioning unit employs a screen positioned between a heater and a fan of the unit. The screen disrupts air flowing from or to the heater to reduce noise generated by the unit when the heater is energized. The screen partially disrupts the air flow between the heater and the fan.

Abstract: A metal sheathed heater utilizes splice connections that connects ends of a heater cable with ends of a lead wire. Each splice connection has a connector that connects core wires of the lead wires and heater cable together. Heat shrinkable tubing surrounds the connector and ends of the heater cable and lead wires. An adhesive is interposed between the heat shrinkable tubing and heater cable and lead wire ends to bond with the heat shrinkable tubing and complete the splice connection. The metal sheath of the heater can be formed with an enlarged diameter portion to account for the heat shrinkable tubing surrounding the lead wire and heater cable ends.

Abstract: A solid state heater uses a heater subassembly employing a terminal block, terminals and a PTCR or NTCR heater. The terminals engage and make electrical contact with the heater, thus eliminating the need for a rigid heater housing. The heater subassembly can be formed into a soft body or rigid body heater for heating purposes. The soft body heater uses a soft casing that envelops the heater subassembly with the casing expanding upon heating to provide a snug fit during use. The heater subassembly can be inserted in the cavity of either a soft body or a rigid body with potting compound filling any remaining voids, and the rigid or soft body can then be used for heating purposes.

Abstract: A mica board open coil resistance heater assembly includes a mica board subassembly of at least one pair of mica boards, a resistance wire wound around the boards, an electrical connection clip secured to each mica board, wherein each end of the resistance wire is connected to a respective clip. A terminal plate subassembly includes a thermostat, a ceramic two-hole terminal block, and bus wires, the bus wires adapted to be attached to a portion of the electrical connection clip to connect the resistance wire to power. The ceramic two-hole terminal is able to receive push on terminals from power conductors.

Abstract: Signals are transmitted on sub-channels at different but mutually overlapping frequencies. A receiver separates the sub-channels into component signals Z0 . . . C254 Prior to decoding (7), interference estimates C0 . . . C254 are subtracted from the components. These estimates are deduced from the signals received on the idle sub-channels (or on sub-channels from which a known or estimated signal is subtracted), for example by calculating (10) parameters defining a model of the interference and using these (11) to generate the interference estimates.

Abstract: An electric belly-band heater includes at least one conduit fitting housing. The housing is located on the heater to surround one or more lead wires and provide a securement point for a conduit end. The conduit end can be secured to the housing using the appropriate fittings so that the lead wire exiting the heater sheath is totally encased in the conduit to meet installation codes.
