Patent number: 11531197Abstract: An apparatus including a cover, an actuator and a processor. The cover may be configured to enable light to reach an image sensor. The actuator may be configured to cause a vibration of the cover at a particular frequency. The processor may be configured to generate image frames from pixel data generated by the image sensor and present a control signal to the actuator in response to an input. The input may activate the vibration at the particular frequency. The particular frequency of the vibration may cause debris to be removed from the cover.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Ambarella International LPInventor: Paolo Grisleri

Patent number: 11332014Abstract: An apparatus includes a first interface a second interface, a third interface and a converter. The first interface may be configured to exchange a high-voltage signal with a high-voltage battery of a vehicle. The second interface may be configured to receive a first low-voltage signal from a source external to the vehicle. The third interface may be configured to present a second low-voltage signal to a power rail of the vehicle. The converter may be configured to (i) generate the high-voltage signal by up-converting the first low-voltage signal while in an up-conversion mode to recharge the high-voltage battery of the vehicle and (ii) generate the second low-voltage signal on the power rail by down-converting the high-voltage signal received from the high-voltage battery while in a down-conversion mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2021Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Ambarella International LPInventors: Omar Pighi, Paolo Grisleri, Alessandro Giacomazzo
