  • Patent number: 11962456
    Abstract: Example aspects include techniques for employing cross-service diagnostics for cloud service providers. These techniques may include dynamically generating a workflow of one or more diagnostic modules based on relationship information between an origin service experiencing an incident and one or more related services that the origin service depends on, and executing the workflow of one or more diagnostic modules to determine a root cause of the incident, each of the one or more diagnostic modules implemented by an individual service of the one or more related services in accordance with a schema. In addition, the techniques may include determining a diagnostic action based on the root cause, and transmitting, based on the diagnostic action, an engagement notification to a responsible entity.

  • Patent number: 11950029
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vibrating mirror adjustment apparatus, system and method, and a projector. The vibrating mirror adjustment apparatus includes: an image feature acquiring module, an image identifying module, a resolution extracting module, and a vibrating mirror control module. The vibrating mirror adjustment apparatus identifies the category of the projected image and the resolution information corresponding to the projected image based on the acquired information feature of the projected image, then identifies whether vibration of the vibrating mirror is used to improve a resolution of an image, and further automatically controls the on or off state of the vibrating mirror, such that an optimal projection display effect is achieved, and visual enjoyment of a user is greatly improved.

  • Patent number: 11942008
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a smart tracking-based projection method and system. The method includes: acquiring information of a real space of a spatial information capturing unit, constructing a 3D model of the real space, and acquiring first position information of a projection picture; acquiring target image information of a target tracking unit, and acquiring second position information of a tracking target based on the target image information; acquiring a target projection region based on the 3D model and the second position information; acquiring, based on the target projection region, rotation information desired by the projection unit; and controlling, based on the rotation information, a drive unit to operate such that the projection picture reaches the target projection region.

  • Publication number: 20240007058
    Abstract: Circuits and methods for an amplifier (particularly LNAs) that achieve wideband output impedance matching and high gain while simultaneously rejecting out-of-band (OOB) harmonic frequencies. Some embodiments allow multiple modes of operation to allow selection of gain versus linearity characteristics. One aspect of the present invention is improvement of the linearity and sensitivity of a whole RF “front end” (RFFE) receiver chain by suppressing OOB gain within an LNA component at higher order harmonic frequencies. Another aspect of the present invention are new wideband and ultra-wideband LNA load circuits that, while achieving high frequency OOB rejection, maintain in-band high gain and wideband output impedance matching at the same time. Yet another aspect of the present invention are new ultra-wideband LNA output impedance matching circuits.

  • Patent number: 10734957
    Abstract: A circuit comprises a Sallen-Key filter, which includes a source follower that implements a unity-gain amplifier; and a programmable-gain amplifier coupled to the Sallen-Key filter. The circuit enables programmable gain via adjustment to a current mirror copying ratio in the programmable-gain amplifier, which decouples the bandwidth of the circuit from its gain settings. The programmable-gain amplifier can comprise a differential voltage-to-current converter, a current mirror pair, and programmable output gain stages. The Sallen-Key filter and at least one branch in the programmable-gain amplifier can comprise transistors arranged in identical circuit configurations.
