  • Publication number: 20230241721
    Abstract: A method and machine for cutting and removing a workpiece part from a plate-shaped material includes cutting the workpiece part with a beam or jet directed onto the material and separating the workpiece part and material. The workpiece part is removed as a scrap skeleton removal part. The cut-free workpiece part is lifted out of a workpiece supporting plane by a lifting device and removed by a gripping device, or the cut-free workpiece part is removed downwards from the plane through a gap between workpiece supporting surfaces by an ejection device, or gravity removes the cut-free workpiece part downwards through the gap. Before cutting the workpiece part free, a sacrificial part adjoining the workpiece part and partially having a common cutting line with the workpiece part is cut free from the material before cutting the workpiece part free in the material or scrap skeleton.

  • Publication number: 20230230310
    Abstract: A fully-connected neural network may be configured for execution by a processor as a fully-fused neural network by limiting slow global memory accesses to reading and writing inputs to and outputs from the fully-connected neural network. The computational cost of fully-connected neural networks scale quadratically with its width, whereas its memory traffic scales linearly. Modern graphics processing units typically have much greater computational throughput compared with memory bandwidth, so that for narrow, fully-connected neural networks, the linear memory traffic is the bottleneck. The key to improving performance of the fully-connected neural network is to minimize traffic to slow “global” memory (off-chip memory and high-level caches) and to fully utilize fast on-chip memory (low-level caches, “shared” memory, and registers), which is achieved by the fully-fused approach.

  • Publication number: 20230195709
    Abstract: Data storage system conflict management techniques are described. In one example, data is sent by client devices to both a repository system and a search index system of a data storage system. Each of the client devices maintains, locally, records of changes to data of the repository system, e.g., through use of an invertible Bloom lookup table. The records are used as a basis by the client devices to send reports to an arbiter system and used to detect conflicts When detected, a conflict request is communicated to client devices involved in the conflict as well as to the repository system and responses used to generate a correction that is communicated to update the repository system and search index system.

  • Publication number: 20230140460
    Abstract: A technique is described for extracting or constructing a three-dimensional (3D) model from multiple two-dimensional (2D) images. In an embodiment, a foreground segmentation mask or depth field may be provided as an additional supervision input with each 2D image. In an embodiment, the foreground segmentation mask or depth field is automatically generated for each 2D image. The constructed 3D model comprises a triangular mesh topology, materials, and environment lighting. The constructed 3D model is represented in a format that can be directly edited and/or rendered by conventional application programs, such as digital content creation (DCC) tools. For example, the constructed 3D model may be represented as a triangular surface mesh (with arbitrary topology), a set of 2D textures representing spatially-varying material parameters, and an environment map. Furthermore, the constructed 3D model may be included in 3D scenes and interacts realistically with other objects.

  • Patent number: 11609830
    Abstract: An improved method for investigating a functional behavior of a component of a technical installation includes comparing a signal of the component to be investigated and representing the functional behavior of the component with a reference signal which describes an average functional behavior of identical components. During the comparison, a comparison variable describing the deviation of the signal from the reference signal is determined. In addition, a probability of the occurrence of the comparison variable is determined by using a predefinable distribution of a multiplicity of such comparative variables. A computer program and a computer readable storage medium are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11610360
    Abstract: A real-time neural radiance caching technique for path-traced global illumination is implemented using a neural network for caching scattered radiance components of global illumination. The neural (network) radiance cache handles fully dynamic scenes, and makes no assumptions about the camera, lighting, geometry, and materials. In contrast with conventional caching, the data-driven approach sidesteps many difficulties of caching algorithms, such as locating, interpolating, and updating cache points. The neural radiance cache is trained via online learning during rendering. Advantages of the neural radiance cache are noise reduction and real-time performance. Importantly, the runtime overhead and memory footprint of the neural radiance cache are stable and independent of scene complexity.
