Patent number: 11681954Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing parallel generation of output from an autoregressive sequence to sequence model. In one aspect, a blockwise parallel decoding method takes advantage of the fact that some architectures can score sequences in sublinear time. By generating predictions for multiple time steps at once then backing off to a longest prefix validated by the scoring model, the methods can substantially improve the speed of greedy decoding without compromising performance.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2019Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Noam M. Shazeer, Jakob D. Uszkoreit, Mitchell Thomas Stern

Patent number: 11576498Abstract: Stacked object slippage prevention apparatus includes two rigid retainers each having a straight portion and an angled portion at an angle of 80-115 degrees to the straight portion, and a connecting element connected at opposite end regions to the retainers. The connecting element may be a strap and a pair of fixing elements, one at each end region of the strap, and which are adjustable relative to the strap to provide the strap with an adjustable length to fit different sized beds. When installed, for example, between a mattress and an underlying support, with the angled portion of the retainer at the foot of the bed oriented upward and the angled portion of the retainer at the head of the bed oriented downward, movement of the mattress toward the foot of the bed is prevented by pressure applied to the support being transferred between the retainers through the connecting element.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2017Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Inventor: Thomas Stern

Patent number: 11530894Abstract: A training pistol having a rigid barrel and operating with a conventional blowback system, including a frame, a slide and a barrel, including a slide stop device, a firing pin assembly and preferably including a slide lock which can be moved into a disassembly position in which it releases the movement of the slide toward the front. This release can only be achieved if there is no magazine in the magazine well of the frame and the slide is stopped. The barrel is fastened in the frame by a locking device that can be brought into a release position in which it releases the barrel. Additionally an unlocking gap is provided between the barrel and the slide, and when the gap is overcome, after the slide lock has moved into the disassembly position, an unlocking ramp provided on the slide forces the locking device into the release position.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: GLOCK TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Friedrich Dechant, Thomas Stern
