  • Publication number: 20220379985
    Abstract: A frame lock for a two-wheeler comprises a lock body, which comprises a latch and a rotary hoop arrangement having a rotary hoop and a strip. The rotary hoop extends along a circular path, has a blocking structure comprising an abutment section, and is adjustable relative to the lock body along the circular path between an open position, in which the rotary hoop releases a wheel of the two-wheeler for a rotation, and a closed position in which the rotary hoop blocks the wheel against rotation. The latch is adjustable between an unlocked position and a locked position and, when the rotary hoop is in its closed position and the latch is in its locked position, the latch engages behind the abutment section, whereby it blocks the rotary hoop against an adjustment into the open position.

  • Patent number: 11487722
    Abstract: A flexible, scalable, and fast query system for a distributed execution environment is provided. An example method includes receiving a plurality of processor summaries, each including a list of job digests, each job digest including a job identifier for a job running on a job processor and a payload portion. The method can also include, for each job digest, determining a location in a probabilistic payload data structure for the job digest and storing the payload portion and a fingerprint portion generated from a portion of a hash of the job identifier in an entry at the location as a job summary and responding to queries using the probabilistic payload data structure. Responding to a particular query may include identifying job properties corresponding to parameters of the particular query, updating job property statistics, and using the job property statistics to change the job properties represented in the payload portion.

  • Patent number: 11460454
    Abstract: A method for monitoring, evaluating and controlling a cyclic chromatographic purification process that involves at least two adsorbers. According to the method, one step is monitoring of the chromatogram, including the measurement of at least one current concentration-proportional signal in the liquid. Another step is conducting an evaluation of the chromatogram, including a comparison of at least one of the current concentration-proportional signals measured in the monitoring step with a threshold value thereof. A further step is controlling the chromatographic purification process by adapting the termination of the currently running phase as a function of the comparison of the evaluation step and initiating the next phase. Finally, according to the method, the sequence of steps is carried out in given order at least twice.

  • Publication number: 20220309087
    Abstract: Systems and methods for pre-training and fine-tuning of neural-network-based language models to reason directly over tables without generating logical forms. In some examples, a language model can be pre-trained using masked-language modeling tasks synthetically generated from tables pulled from a knowledge corpus. In some examples, the language model may be further pre-trained using pairs of counterfactual statements generated from those tables, and/or one or more statements that compare selected data from those tables. The language model may then be fine-tuned using examples that include only a question, an answer, and a table, allowing fine-tuning examples to be harvested directly from existing benchmark datasets or synthetically generated.

  • Publication number: 20220284658
    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: 20220284657
    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.
