Patent number: 11997576Abstract: A method of BLE-Mesh communications includes providing a dual-mode BLE-Mesh device including dual-mode RF driver, dual-mode manager, a BLE stack for BLE operations. and a mesh stack for mesh operations in a BLE-mesh network having a BLE relay device and a functional end BLE device. The BLE-mesh device has a periodic set of time indexed data slots common throughout the BLE-mesh network which provides a BLE event timeline for BLE connection events. The dual-mode BLE device implements an event clustering algorithm that delays or advances mesh events with respect to a timing the BLE connection events for clustering together their respective occurrences into continuous BLE/Mesh events to reduce a duty cycle by reducing a number of transitions from active mode to sleep mode and from sleep mode to active mode. The BLE-Mesh device communicates in the BLE-mesh network using the continuous BLE/Mesh events with at least one mesh device.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2023Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Arvind Kandhalu Raghu, Mehul Soman

Patent number: 11283999Abstract: Techniques described herein can address these and other issues by synchronizing the positioning of an adjustable lens in a camera assembly with the capture of an image frame by the image sensor and optimizing the position of the adjustable lens to reduce the amount of blur caused by translation of the camera assembly along a direction along the optical axis over the course of a frame. More specifically, techniques provide for moving the lens to a plurality of optimized positions, relative to the image sensor, over the course of a frame, to reduce motion blur in an image due to translation of the camera assembly in a direction of along the optical axis during the frame. Some embodiments may provide for “tight” synchronization in cases where the plurality of optimized positions are based on a time-dependent function that takes into account when each row of the image sensor is being exposed over the course of the frame.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Victor Kulik, Mehul Soman
