CONDITION REGARDING PROTECTION BY INDICATIVE SIGNS by Adrian CURELEA

“…Geographical indications, designations of origin and names of guaranteed traditional specialties allow consumers to trust and distinguish quality products, also helping producers in their marketing, in the case of the former, the connection between the specific geographical region and the name of the product being highlighted, in case a certain quality, reputation or other characteristic can be attributed essentially or exclusively to its geographical origin, as regards traditional specialties guaranteed, the link referring to the production method used over time in the determined geographical region with the quality and characteristics of the product protected by indicative sign. …”

Scalable Low Power Accelerator for Sparse Recurrent Neural Network by Panshi JIN, Junjie LI, Jingyi WANG, Pengchong LI, Lei XING, Xiaodong LI

“…The use of edge computing devices in bank outlets for passenger flow analysis, security protection, risk prevention and control is increasingly widespread, among which the performance and power consumption of AI reasoning chips have become a very important factor in the selection of edge computing devices.Aiming at the problems of recurrent neural network, such as high power consumption, weak reasoning performance and low energy efficiency, which were caused by data dependence and low data reusability, this paper realized a sparse RNN low-power accelerator with scalable voltage by using FPGA, and verifies it on the edge design and calculation equipment.Firstly, the sparse -RNN was analyzed and the processing array was designed by network compression.Secondly, due to the unbalanced workload of sparse RNN, it introduced voltage scaling method to maintain low power consumption and high throughput.Experiments show that this method could significantly improve the RNN reasoning speed of the system and reduce the processing power consumption of the chip.…”
