Title: Actually-measured marine environment data assimilation method based on sequence recursive spare filtering three-dimensional variation
Inventor: YUXIN ZHAO
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2014-12-01
Abstract: Provided is an actually-measured marine environment data assimilation method based on sequence recursive filtering three-dimensional variation. The method comprises: pre-processing actually-measured marine environment data; calculating a target function value; calculating a gradient value of a target function; calculating a minimum value of the target function; extracting space multi-scale information from the actually-measured data; and updating background field data to form a final data assimilation analysis field. The present invention improves the traditional recursive filtering three-dimensional variation method. Information about different scales is successively assimilated, thereby effectively overcoming the problem that a traditional three-dimensional variation method is unable to effectively extract multi-scale information. A high-order recursive Gaussian filter is used, and a cascaded form of the high-order recursive filter is converted into a parallel structure, so that the recursive filtering process of the recursive Gaussian filter can be executed in parallel, thereby overcoming many of the problems caused by a cascaded filter.

Title: A technique for managing a cache structure in a system employing transactional memory
Inventor: DAMIEN GUILLAUME PIERRE PAYET
IPC: G06F12/0842
Filed: 2018-05-10
Abstract: A processor has a cache. Each entry in the cache has an allocation tag. Each tag can be in one of several states. When a cache entry is written as part of an atomic transaction, the original value of the cache entry is copied to another cache entry. The entry holding the copy is associated with a tag in an “in use” state. Cache entries with tags in this state cannot be accessed by the processor. If the transaction is aborted any cache lines modified by the transaction are invalidated and the tag is changed to a “saved” state. Cache entries with tags in this state can be accessed by the processor. If the transaction completes, the tag is changed to a “discarded” state. Cache entries with tags in this state are treated as invalid. Tags in the “saved” state may be changed to an “invalid” state if all the associated cache entries are given a default tag. Tags in the “discarded” state may be changed to an “invalid” state if the associated cache entries are marked as invalid.

Title: Transistor Arrays
Inventor: Josephine Socratous
IPC: H01L27/28
Filed: 2018-06-01
Abstract: A method of producing a device comprising a stack of layers defining an array of transistors and including one or more electrically conductive connections between levels comprises forming a source-drain conductor pattern and defining an array of source conductors each providing an addressing line for a respective set of transistors, and an array of drain conductors each associated with a respective transistor of the transistor array. A first conductor sub-pattern 4, which may be islands of ITO material is formed which provides the conductive surface of the source-drain conductor pattern in interconnect regions where electrically conductive interlayer connections are to be formed to the source-drain conductor pattern, and a second conductor sub-pattern 6 is formed, which may be a silver alloy material, and provides the conductive surface of the source-drain conductor pattern in the regions of source conductor fingers 8a and drain conductor fingers 8b, where the source and drain conductors are in closest proximity. The silver alloy sub-pattern 6 overlaps the ITO sub-pattern 4 in peripheral regions around the interconnect regions to make electrical contact with the ITO sub-pattern. A stack of layers is formed over the source-drain pattern, and via holes are formed in interconnect regions using a plasma generated from a gas comprising oxygen during which process the material of the first conductor subpattern exhibits less reduction in conductivity than the material of the second conductor subpattern. A plasma generated from a gas substantially excluding oxygen, for example a noble gas, may be used to pattern a layer of an organic semiconductor channel material providing semiconductor channels.
