  • Patent number: 11969554
    Abstract: A haptic stimulator includes a multilayer sheet with a piezoelectric or electroactive polymer layer adapted to mechanically deform upon application of voltage, the multilayer sheet secured to a substrate, and a source of electrical stimulation coupled to drive electrodes on the polymer layer with an AC signal to vibrate the polymer layer. In particular embodiments, the polymer contains polyvinylidene fluoride, and electrodes are patterned to control local electric fields. Another haptic stimulator has first and second electrodes with an air gap and an insulating sheet between first and second electrodes, with an AC voltage driver connecting to the electrodes. In a method of providing haptic stimulation to skin an alternating current supply drives first and second electrodes, the electrodes disposed upon either a piezoelectric or electroactive polymer sheet, vibrating the polymer layer by driving the electrodes; and coupling vibrations of the polymer layer to the sensate skin.

  • Publication number: 20240134910
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that search videos and other media content to identify items, objects, faces, or other entities within the media content. Detectors identify objects within media content by, for instance, detecting a predetermined set of visual features corresponding to the objects. Detectors configured to identify an object can be trained using a machine learned model (e.g., a convolutional neural network) as applied to a set of example media content items that include the object. The systems comprise an integrated detection unit configured to record media content, identify preferred content, and communicate the identifications of preferred content for storage in a computationally efficient manner.

  • Publication number: 20240125819
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for measuring electric current in a multi-wire cable, as well as the apparent and real power associated with an electrical load connected to the cable. A probe comprising an array of small form-factor, high-speed magnetometers is operatively coupled with the cable such that the magnetometers partially surround the cable. Each magnetometer detects the composite magnetic field at its location, and this plurality of measurements is used to generate a magnetic-field map. The contributions of the current flow in each wire are identified by deconvolving the magnetic-field map, enabling their locations to be determined and monitoring of the current and power flow. A sensor included in the probe is used to determine the phase of the applied voltage. The phase difference between the voltage and current is then used to determine the real power dissipation of the load.

  • Patent number: 11962676
    Abstract: A system and method which compensates for phase mixer circuit non-linearities within a clock and data recovery (CDR) system during active operation. The CDR system includes compensation circuitry and phase accumulation circuitry. The compensation circuitry generates a first compensation signal based on a first compensation value. The phase accumulation circuitry receives the first compensation signal and a phase accumulator input update signal. The phase accumulation circuitry combines the first compensation signal with the phase accumulator input update signal to compensate for a first non-linearity within phase mixer (PMI) circuitry.

  • Patent number: 11953981
    Abstract: During system initialization, each data buffer device and/or memory device on a memory module is configured with a unique (at least to the module) device identification number. In order to access a single device (rather than multiple buffers and/or memory devices), a target identification number is written to all of the devices using a command bus connected to all of the data buffer devices or memory devices, respectively. The devices whose respective device identification numbers do not match the target identification number are configured to ignore future command bus transactions (at least until the debug mode is turned off.) The selected device that is configured with a device identification number matching the target identification number is configured to respond to command bus transactions.

  • Patent number: 11953706
    Abstract: Wavelength-selective films are visibly apparent under the selective wavelength. Wavelength-selective films typically reflect off axis the selected wavelength and therefore can provide high-contrast against a background when applied in a pattern on a substrate. However, it is difficult to apply unique patterned embedded images from film. Disclosed is a cost-effective method and construction of a patterned wavelength-selective image to a substrate. In the disclosed wavelength-selective image, wavelength-selective film particles are applied to an adhesive pattern to create the wavelength-selective image.
