Patent number: 11379229Abstract: An apparatus and method for performing efficient, adaptable tensor operations. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: front end circuitry to schedule matrix operations responsive to a matrix multiplication instruction; a plurality of lanes to perform parallel execution of the matrix operations, wherein a lane comprises an arithmetic logic unit to multiply a block of a first matrix with a block of a second matrix to generate a product and to accumulate the product with a block of a third matrix, and wherein the matrix blocks are to be stored in registers within the lane; and broadcast circuitry to broadcast one or more invariant matrix blocks to at least one of different registers within the lane and different registers across different lanes.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Pearce, David Sheffield, Srikanth Srinivasan, Jeffrey Cook, Debbie Marr, Abhijit Davare, Asit Mishra, Steven Burns, Desmond A.

Publication number: 20220040889Abstract: A process for the extraction of one or more colour pigments from waste plastic in which a waste plastic feedstock is mixed with a solvent in a reactor having a shearing mechanism and the solvent is separated out and recycled in the process. The shearing mechanism provides high shear, high contact mixing so as to move the pigment to the surface of the plastic for contact with the solvent to give efficient colour pigment removal. Embodiments of reactors with shearing mechanisms are described. Environmentally friendly solvents are also described. The process gives highly sought after natural recyclate at a commercial scale.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2019Publication date: February 10, 2022Inventors: Thomas Rose, Steven Burns, Emmeline Aves, Andrew West

Patent number: 10235861Abstract: A mobile device that includes an input device, an output device, and an electronic processor connected to the input device and the output device. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from the input device, information about a disinfectant and set a threshold time, a threshold activity level, or both the threshold time and the threshold activity level based on the information about the disinfectant. The electronic processor is also configured to track a passage of time, an activity level, or both. If the passage of time is greater than or equal to the threshold time, the activity level is greater than or equal to the threshold activity level, or both then the electronic processor is configured to output a user notification, via the output device.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: METREX RESEARCH, LLCInventors: Steven Burns, Abhigyan Som, Tuyen Quang Nguyen

Patent number: 8287491Abstract: A single-use auto-disable syringe device of reduced size utilizes a locking element to prevent re-use of the syringe by locking the plunger rod with respect to the barrel upon completion of an injection stroke. The plunger rod includes a plurality of teeth comprising distally facing shoulders provided on a majority of the length of an elongate portion of the plunger rod and a breakable section configured to break upon the application of excessive axial or torsional force. The breakable section is preferably provided at a distal end of the plunger rod so that a proximal end of the locking element engages the syringe barrel and plunger rod at a position more proximal than the breakable section. In this way, the locking element resists some of the force that would otherwise be applied to the breakable section if the plunger rod were twisted.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Steven Burns, Russell Cole, Chee L.
