  • Patent number: 12364527
    Abstract: A device includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm includes a first arm body that extends from a first end to a second end and a guide. The guide is rotatably coupled to the second end of the first arm body and is configured to be coupled to a first bone. The second arm includes a second arm body extending from a first end to a second end and is coupled to the first arm body such that it is rotatable with respect to the first arm body. The second arm is configured to engage a second bone. In use, rotation of the second arm body with respect to the first arm body changes the distance between the first bone and the second bone and rotation of the guide with respect to the first arm body rotates the first bone.

  • Patent number: 12353764
    Abstract: A memory array includes a plurality of memory devices, each of which includes a memory configured to store packet data and a request arbiter configured to interface with other memory devices of the memory array. The request arbiter filters invalid requests from a plurality of requestors, and determines a bitvector representing a sequence of the plurality of requestors, the bitvector indicating whether each of the plurality of requestors has a valid request. The request arbiter outputs an indication of a first request to be serviced by the memory device, and shifts the bitvector to determine a second request to be serviced by the memory device.

  • Patent number: 12314725
    Abstract: Systems and methods reduce power consumption in embedded machine learning hardware accelerators and enable cost-effective embedded at-the-edge machine-learning and related applications. In various embodiments this may be accomplished by using hardware accelerators that comprise a programmable pre-processing circuit that operates in the same clock domain as the accelerator. In some embodiments, tightly coupled data loading first-in-first-out registers (FIFOs) eliminate clock synchronization issues and reduce unnecessary address writes. In other embodiments, a data transformation may gather source data bits in a manner that allows loading full words of native bus width to reduce the number of writes and, thus, overall power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20250165608
    Abstract: During startup or boot of a device, software or firmware associated with a processor and/or microcontroller of the device slow walks the handover of control to critical initialization or steady-state functions to account for any instability due to an electrical transient that may cause the processor and/or microcontroller to perform erratically or non-deterministically during startup or boot. The wait time associated with the slow-walk handover of control is optimized to ensure that no instability due to transients is present when the wait time expires. In an embodiment, after the wait time expires, firmware/software associated with the bootloader and/or Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) may further continuously calculate a checksum value for the corresponding target software/firmware and compare the calculated value against an expected checksum value. When the calculated checksum matches the expected checksum, remaining portions of the firmware/software for the bootloader and/or BIOS are given control.
