  • Patent number: 11982737
    Abstract: Techniques for presence-detection devices to vary presence-detection sensitivity to detect different types of movements by objects, such as major movements and minor movements, using ultrasonic signals. The devices detect movement of a person in an environment by emitting ultrasonic signals into the environment, and characterizing the change in the frequency, or the Doppler shift, of the reflections of the ultrasonic signals off the person caused by the movement of the person relative to the presence-detection devices. The presence-detection devices may control the presence-detection sensitivity in order to detect major movements, such as a user walking in a room, as well as objects minor movements, such as a user typing at a computer. By adjusting the presence-detection sensitivity, the devices are able to improve the overall accuracy of detecting the presence of users in an environment.

  • Patent number: 11983112
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for enhanced system performance after retention loss are described. A memory system may program a page of memory cells in response to receiving a power down notification. As part of the programming, the memory system may record an indication of a voltage threshold of the page and power down for a duration of time, during which the memory system may experience retention loss. Upon powering on, the memory device may compare the voltage threshold of the page to the indication stored prior to powering down and determine a voltage offset for one or more blocks of the memory system. In some cases, the memory system may use the voltage offset to determine a starting bin, and may initiate a bin scan to determine a final bin for the one or more blocks.
