Publication number: 20230410718Abstract: A light emitter that operates through a display may cause display artifacts, even when the light emitter operates using non-visible wavelengths. Display artifacts caused by a light emitter that operates through a display may be referred to as emitter artifacts. To mitigate emitter artifacts, operating conditions for a display frame may be used to determine an optimal firing time for the light emitter during that display frame. The operating conditions used to determine the optimal firing time may include emitter operating conditions, display content statistics, display brightness, temperature, and refresh rate. Operating conditions from one or more previous frames may be stored in a frame buffer and may be used to help determine the optimal firing time for the light emitter during a display frame. Pixel values for the display may be modified to mitigate emitter artifacts.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Jenny Hu, Chaohao Wang, Christopher E Glazowski, Clint M Perlaki, David R Manly, Feng Wen, Graeme M Williams, Hei Kam, Hyun H Boo, Kevin J Choboter, Kyounghwan Kim, Lu Yan, Mahesh B Chappalli, Mark T Winkler, Na Zhu, Peter F Holland, Tong Chen, Warren S Rieutort-Louis, Wenrui Cai, Ximeng Guan, Yingying Tang, Yuchi Che

Patent number: 11803303Abstract: Intelligent layer control for building image files into new container images while avoiding redundant files stored between read-write and read-only image layers. Pre-commit processing module (PPM) filters updated files. Hash values of updated files are compared with hash values of original files. Where hash values are the same, PPM generates an OMD file that updates the inode metadata of original files with metadata of the updated file and removes the updated file. Hash values that are not the same, with differ values less than a threshold value, PPM generates an OMD file with updates to the inode metadata, content change flag and/or delta content info reflecting the updated file and removes updated file from container file system. OMD files are passed to storage driver whereby metadata and/or changes to content are overridden and merged with original file content generating a single unified user view of the container file system.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2022Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Zhan Peng Huo, Fei Tan, Lu Yan Li, Jiu Chang Du
