  • Patent number: 11973489
    Abstract: A radio frequency filter includes at least a first sub-filter and a second sub-filter connected in parallel between a first port and a second port. Each of the sub-filters has a piezoelectric plate having front and back surfaces, the back surface attached to a substrate, and portions of the piezoelectric plate forming diaphragms spanning respective cavities in the substrate. A conductor pattern is formed on the front surface of the plate, the conductor pattern includes interdigital transducers (IDTs) of a respective plurality of resonators, with interleaved fingers of each IDT disposed on a respective diaphragm of the plurality of diaphragms. A thickness of the portions of the piezoelectric plate of the first sub-filter is different from a thickness of the portions of the piezoelectric plate of the second sub-filter.

  • Patent number: 11145096
    Abstract: A method, an electronic device, and computer readable medium is provided. The method includes identifying a plurality of virtual objects for output to a display of the electronic device, including a priority level for each of the plurality of virtual objects. The method also includes comparing the priority level of an object of the plurality of virtual objects to the priority level associated with another object of the plurality of virtual objects to determine whether to modify an appearance of either object. In response to determining to modify the appearance of either object, the method further includes modifying the appearance of either. The method additionally includes rendering the plurality of virtual objects on the display of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9916017
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to a smart eraser. As such, a particular drawing stroke on a canvas or background can be erased without erasing other strokes overlapping with the eraser path. In some implementations, smart eraser functionality can be triggered by beginning an eraser path at a point that coincides with the stroke to which the smart eraser functionality is to be applied.
