Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for A Circuit And Method For Fixed-Point Approximation Of Silu In Neural Network Accelerators

MUMBAI, India, Oct. 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611106279 A) filed by Graphic Era Deemed To Be University on September 03, 2026, for A Circuit And Method For Fixed-Point Approximation Of Silu In Neural Network Accelerators.

Inventors include Arun Singh; Vartika Agarwal; Gagan Bansal; and Geetika Sharma.

The application for the patent was published on October 16, 2026, under issue no. 42/2026.

Abstract: The invention relates to digital arithmetic circuits for neural network accelerators, and particularly to fixed-point implementation of the SiLU activation function. A pipelined circuit receives a signed 16-bit Q12 input x, computes x/8 by arithmetic right shift, multiplies the result by a fixed...
