Efficient Hardware for Spiking Neural Network Calculations

This patent describes a specialized processor designed to quickly calculate layers in a spiking convolutional neural network by using parallel computing units whose number doesn't depend on the network's size, making AI processing more efficient.

How a Special Reactor Makes Methane Fuel Without Constant Electricity

This patent describes a method for a Solid Oxide Electrolyser Cell (SOEC) reactor to produce methane, even when electricity is scarce, by switching from electrolysis to a heat-generating chemical reaction.
