  • Publication number: 20220114233
    Abstract: A method and circuit for performing vector-matrix multiplication may include converting an input vector of binary-encoded values into analog signals using one-bit DACs, and sequentially performing a vector-matrix multiplication operation for each bit-order. The method may also include, for each sequentially performed operation, operating a switch that corresponds to a current bit-order. Operating the switch may cause a value corresponding to an output of the multiplier to be stored on a capacitor corresponding to the current bit-order. A time interval during which the switch is operated may be non-uniform with respect to time intervals for other switches, and the time interval may be based at least in part on a settling time of the capacitor. The method may also include performing a bit-order weighted summation of values stored on the plurality of capacitors to generate a result of the vector-matrix multiplication.

  • Patent number: 11170050
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for graph data quality verification, which can perform quality verification of the graph data to be processed before importing the graph data to be processed to the target graph database, thereby avoiding generating a target list based on the graph data to be processed with errors. By determining whether there is an outlier in the target list, the abnormal graph data in the graph data to be processed can be detected to ensure the correctness of the graph data to be processed imported into the target graph database. By generating a graph data quality report, it is possible to verify whether the graph data to be processed has errors during the import process.

  • Patent number: 11097633
    Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing automated control systems to control operations of target physical systems including batteries, such as based at least in part on models of the batteries' dynamic behaviors that are generated by gathering and analyzing information about the batteries' operations under varying conditions. The techniques may include, for each of multiple charge levels of a battery and for each of multiple resistive loads, injecting multi-frequency microvolt pulses into the battery, and using sensors to collect time changes of the responses to these pulses. Information about the inputs and the responses is then analyzed and used to generate an incremental parametric state model representing the internal dynamics of the battery, which is further used to control additional ongoing battery operations (e.g., to control whether and how much power is supplied to and/or extracted from the battery in a current or future time period).
