  • Patent number: 11908538
    Abstract: Various memory cell structures and power routings for one or more cells in an integrated circuit are disclosed. In one embodiment, different metal layers are used for power stripes that are operable to connect to voltage sources to supply different voltage signals, which allows some or all of the power stripes to have a larger width. Additionally or alternatively, fewer metal stripes are used for signals in a metal layer to allow the power stripe in that metal layer to have a larger width. The larger width(s) in turn increases the total area of the power stripe(s) to reduce the IR drop across the power stripe. The various power routings include connecting metal pillars in one metal layer to a power stripe in another metal layer, and extending a metal stripe in one metal layer to provide additional connections to a power stripe in another metal layer.

  • Patent number: 11908542
    Abstract: Prior knowledge of access pattern is leveraged to improve energy dissipation for general matrix operations. This improves memory access energy for a multitude of applications such as image processing, deep neural networks, and scientific computing workloads, for example. In some embodiments, prior knowledge of access pattern allows for burst read and/or write operations. As such, burst mode solution can provide energy savings in both READ (RD) and WRITE (WR) operations. For machine learning or inference, the weight values are known ahead in time (e.g., inference operation), and so the unused bytes in the cache line are exploited to store a sparsity map that is used for disabling read from either upper or lower half of the cache line, thus saving dynamic capacitance.

  • Patent number: 11908554
    Abstract: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless technology transmits digital data as modulated coded impulses over a very wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance. To support extended operation, particularly with battery power sources, the inventors have established UWB devices which support wake-up from deep sleep modes when these devices exploit low frequency clock sources for ultra-low power consumption. Further, power consumption may be reduced by exploiting transistors or so-called compounded MOSFET structures whose effective gain and output resistance exceeds any single transistor irrespective of length or by employing biasless low power differential (exponential) transconductance stages within operational transconductance amplifiers in order to provide very high gain low power amplification stages. Further, the inventors have established voltage reference sources that consume very low current, a few nA, and ultra-low power low dropout regulators.

  • Patent number: 11908570
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for operating a resource management system for medical software applications. Profile parameters of a first health care facility are received and processed to select one of a plurality stored profile data that contain profile parameters having a threshold similarity to the profile parameters for the first health care facility. A system resource manager loads resource management data associated with the selected profile data, wherein the resource management data comprises data relating to capabilities and capacities of the health care facility associated with the selected profile data. A systems intelligence manager performs predictive processing on the resource management data of the selected profile data to determine via simulation if the resource management data meets a threshold. The resource management data of the selected profile data is transmitted to the first health care facility for execution in the resource management software and updated using feedback data.

  • Patent number: 11908573
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for coordinating service for a user assigned to a service unit of a service facility. The techniques include receiving user data associated with the user, or resource status data associated with a status of a resource. The techniques further include determining a classification of the user based on the user data, the classification corresponding to a condition or service status of the user. The user may then be assigned to a user group based on the classification of the user. The user group may be associated with a recommendation for treating the user. The resource may also be assigned to a resource group based on the resource status data. The techniques further include generating a visual representation of at least a portion of the service unit based on the assigned user group or assigned resource group, and providing the visual representation to a user device for presentation.
