Patent number: 11984910Abstract: The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for implementing a reinforcement learning-enabled low-density parity check (LDPC) decoder. In aspects, an RL-enabled LDPC decoder processes, as part of a first decoding iteration, data of a channel to generate LDPC state information and provides the LDPC state information to a machine learning (ML) algorithm of an RL agent. The RL-enabled LDPC decoder is then configured with LDPC decoding parameters obtained from the ML algorithm and processes, as part of a second decoding operation, the data using the decoding parameters to generate subsequent LDPC state information. The RL-enabled LDPC decoder provides decoded data of the channel based on the subsequent LDPC state information. By using the LDPC decoding parameters provided by the ML algorithm of the RL agent, the RL-enabled LDPC decoder may decode channel data in fewer decoding iterations or with a higher success rate, thereby improving LDPC decoding performance.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: Marvell Asia Pte, Ltd.Inventors: Di Fan, Nedeljko Varnica, Xuanxuan Lu

Publication number: 20220312614Abstract: An electronic device may have transparent housing structures such as walls formed of glass or sapphire. Housing structures such as transparent housing structures may have a colored coating. The colored coating may include an absorptive layer and a metal layer. The coating may exhibit a color that can be adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the thin absorptive layer. A colored layer such as a layer of colored polymer may be incorporated into the colored coating to further adjust the color of the coating. The colored coating may be formed on an inner or outer housing structure surface. The surface may have a texture to provide the coating with a matte appearance. When formed on an outer surface, a diamond-like carbon layer may protect the colored coating. When formed on an inner surface, a passivation layer may be used to prevent oxidation of the metal layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Khadijeh Bayat, Yoshitaka Matsui, Naomi Sugawara, Daisuke Nozu, Xianwei Zhao, Avery P.
