Phased array systems and methods with phase shifter

Granted: March 11, 2025
Patent Number: 12250019
This disclosure provide various techniques for improving the quality of a signal. By integrating phase-shifting circuitry with a transmit/receive (T/R) switch, insertion loss may be reduced while decreasing space consumed on an integrated circuit or printed circuit board. In particular, embodiments disclosed herein include a transmitter and a receiver, each including one or more differential amplifiers coupled to a first inductor, and a switching network coupled to a second inductor and…

Techniques for communication between hub device and multiple endpoints

Granted: March 11, 2025
Patent Number: 12249328
Techniques are disclosed for coordinating interactions between a user device and a plurality of accessory devices. In one example, a user device receives information identifying one or more accessory devices in communication with the user device. The user device may implement accessory interaction instances for each of the identified accessories. A first accessory interaction instance can be associated with a first accessory among the identified accessories and receive a first audio…

Deferred loudness adjustment for dynamic range control

Granted: March 11, 2025
Patent Number: 12248731
A bitstream is obtained by a decoder side, that contains an encoded version of an audio signal and an instantaneous loudness sequence of the audio signal. The instantaneous loudness sequence has not been loudness normalized. A dynamic range control, DRC, gain sequence is produced by applying the instantaneous loudness sequence to a DRC characteristic, with loudness normalization. The DRC gain sequence is applied to the decoded audio signal. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Hybrid gaze tracking system

Granted: March 11, 2025
Patent Number: 12248626
Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that perform gaze tracking using combinations of ultrasound and imaging data. Some implementations detect a first attribute of an eye using imaging measurements in a first image of the eye, and a first location associated with the first attribute is determined in a 3D coordinate system based on depth information. A second attribute of the eye is detected based on depth information from ultrasound based…

Die-to-die dynamic clock and power gating

Granted: March 11, 2025
Patent Number: 12248350
A system includes a plurality of systems-on-a-chip (SoCs), connected by a network. The plurality of SoCs and the network are configured to operate as a single logical computing system. The plurality of SoCs may be configured to exchange local power information indicative of network activity occurring on their respective portions of the network. A given one of the plurality of SoCs may be configured to determine that a local condition for placing the respective portion of the network…

Head-mounted display with adjustment mechanism

Granted: March 11, 2025
Patent Number: 12248153
A head-mounted display configured to be worn by a user includes a housing and a headband configured to secure the housing to a head of the user. The headband includes a proximal end coupled to the housing and a distal end that is free from connection to the housing. The head-mounted display includes an adjustment mechanism configured to change a fit of the headband relative to the head of the user.
