Title: Hardware implementation of convolution layer of deep neutral network
Inventor: CHRIS MARTIN
IPC: G06N3/063
Filed: 2017-11-03
Abstract: Hardware implementations, and methods for processing, a convolution layer of a deep neural network (DNN) that comprise a plurality of convolution engines wherein the input data and weights are provided to the convolution engines in an order that allows input data and weights read from memory to be used in at least two filter-window calculations performed either by the same convolution engine in successive cycles or by different convolution engines in the same cycle. For example, in some hardware implementations of a convolution layer the convolution engines are configured to process the same weights but different input data each cycle, but the input data for each convolution engine remains the same for at least two cycles so that the convolution engines use the same input data in at least two consecutive cycles. The method of feeding input data values and weights to the convolution engines may be facilitated by a coefficient buffer, fetching and storing weights from memory in advance of providing them to the engines, and an input buffer, fetching and storing data input values in advance of providing them to the engines.

Filed: 2018-05-30
Abstract: A method and data processing apparatus to engage a user in a conversation flow. The method comprises receiving a user intent while in a first conversation flow state 101. The first conversation flow state defines an expected user intent that the data processing apparatus expects to receive while in the first conversation flow state. The first conversation flow state also defines a second conversation flow state linked to the expected user intent. If the received user intent corresponds to the expected user intent, a response is generated according to the second conversation flow state 102 and the conversation flow advanced by transitioning to the second conversation flow state 103. Sentiment scores may be applied to the conversation flows and these may be modified by sentiment values that are derived from the received user intent. The data processing apparatus may be an automated chat device such as a chat bot, a dialogue system, an interactive agent or some other conversational entity.

Title: Characterisation of cardiac dyssynchrony and dyssynergy
Inventor: HANS HENRIK ODLAND
IPC: A61B5/364
Filed: 2019-04-30
Abstract: A method and system determining reversible cardiac dssynchrony (i.e. ventricular or mechanical dssynchrony), includes detecting a shortening of a delay to myocardial synergy, D, using measurements of an event resulting from D. There are one or more sensors to measure biopotential/s (e.g. to produce an ECG), at least one electrode for pacing, and a processor. One or more sensors (e.g. accelerometer) may detect and record the time of a heart event e.g. peak pressure. The processor identifies cardiac dyssynchrony based on a calculation of a first time delay between the heart event time and a reference time (e.g. full duration of a QRS signal). Pacing is applied to the heart. A second time delay is then calculated. If the second delay is shorter than the first delay, reversible cardiac dyssynchrony is determined. Identification of reversible cardiac dyssynchrony may be used to select heart failure patients most likely to respond to Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT). Preferably, an optimal pacing mode, number of electrodes, and electrode positions are optimised for CRT or pacing therapy. A method may generate a 3D mesh of part of the heart to determine best positions for electrodes in CRT.

IPC: G01N27/18
Filed: 2019-05-13
Abstract: A device 10 for sensing the presence of molecules in a sample has a thermistor 12 with a functionalised nanoparticle coating 14. The coating 14 may be a nanoscale molecularly imprinted polymer to which a specific target biomolecule 16 binds. There may be a resistance monitoring device 18 such as a multimeter or ohmmeter connected to the thermistor 12. When the coated thermistor 12, which may be a biomimetic sensor, is inserted into a sample 20, the target biomolecule 16, e.g. proteins, bacteria or metabolites, binds to the coating 14, insulating the thermistor and altering its thermal conductivity. This change in resistance is indicative of the presence of the biomarker 16 in the sample 20.
