  • Publication number: 20250008706
    Abstract: The invention provides an AC/DC conversion device for intelligent green-power operation and maintenance in power transmission and transformation projects, including a cabinet, an assembling panel, an inverter, a driving mechanism and a controller. A door is mounted at the front portion of the cabinet in a fixed and sealed manner, and the assembling panel is fixedly mounted on the back wall of the cabinet inside the cabinet. The assembling panel, the inverter, the driving mechanism and the controller are all provided inside the cabinet, which provides desirable dust-proof effects, preventing the case where the inverter, the driving mechanism and the controller are interfered by the dust, so that this device is suitable for outdoor usage. The driving mechanism and the controller work in coordination, so that the inverter can be switched off in time when it burns out and smokes, thereby substantially reducing the risk of fire hazards.

  • Publication number: 20240355509
    Abstract: A cable includes a first part and a second part. The first part includes a cable core, a metal layer, and a dielectric layer. The metal layer wraps the cable core, and the dielectric layer is sandwiched between the cable core and the metal layer. The second part includes a plurality of metal units and a dielectric unit. The plurality of metal units are spacedly disposed on the metal layer of the cable, to reduce cable's shielding on an electromagnetic wave in a specific frequency band. The cable is placed on a radiation path of an antenna. This can reduce shielding on an electromagnetic wave radiated by the antenna, to avoid distortion of an antenna pattern.

  • Patent number: 11914999
    Abstract: This disclosure has presented a new loop fusion framework called DNNFusion. The key advantages of DNNFusion include: 1) a new high-level abstraction comprising mapping type of operators and their combinations and the Extended Computational Graph, and analyses on these abstractions, 2) a novel mathematical-property-based graph rewriting, and 3) an integrated fusion plan generation. DNNFusion is extensively evaluated on 15 diverse DNN models on multiple mobile devices, and evaluation results show that it outperforms four state-of-the-art DNN execution frameworks by up to 8.8× speedup, and for the first time allows many cutting-edge DNN models not supported by prior end-to-end frameworks to execute on mobile devices efficiently (even in real-time). In addition, DNNFusion improves both cache performance and device utilization, enabling execution on devices with more restricted resources. It also reduces performance tuning time during compilation.

  • Publication number: 20230075643
    Abstract: BPDNN is a general end-to-end framework to achieve real-time DNN execution on mobile devices. BPDNN supports both CNNs and RNNs. It is based on a novel, fine-grained structured BCR pruning to obtain high execution efficiency without compromising accuracy. BPDNN has two main stages: a compiler-based stage to generate optimized execution codes by leveraging BCR pruning information, and an optimization framework to determine the block size and other hyperparameters based on a decoupling strategy.
