  • Patent number: 11932861
    Abstract: A recombinant vector according to an embodiment is for genome editing without inserting a replicon into the plant genome in a T0 generation plant. The recombinant vector includes a geminivirus-based replicon between the sequence of LB (left border) and sequence of RB (right border) of Ti plasmid. A method of genome editing without inserting a replicon into the plant genome in a T0 generation plant according to an embodiment includes transforming a plant cell by inserting a foreign gene to the aforementioned recombinant vector.

  • Patent number: 11592948
    Abstract: A device that can autonomously scan a sensor panel is disclosed. Autonomous scanning can be performed by implementing channel scan logic. In one embodiment, channel scan logic carries out many of the functions that a processor would normally undertake, including generating timing sequences and obtaining result data; comparing scan result data against a threshold value (e.g., in an auto-scan mode); generating row count; selecting one or more scanning frequency bands; power management control; and performing an auto-scan routine in a low power mode.

  • Patent number: 11194423
    Abstract: A system and method for autonomously scanning a sensor panel device is disclosed. A sensor panel processor can be disabled after a first predetermined amount of time has elapsed without the sensor panel device sensing any events. One or more system clocks can also be disabled to conserve power. While the processor and one or more system clocks are disabled, the sensor panel device can periodically autonomously scan the sensor panel for touch activity. If one or more results from the autonomous scans exceed a threshold, the sensor panel device re-enables the processor and one or more clocks to actively scan the sensor panel. If the threshold is not exceeded, the sensor panel device continues to periodically autonomously scan the sensor panel without intervention from the processor. The sensor panel device can periodically perform calibration functions to account for any drift that may be present in the system.

  • Patent number: 11073540
    Abstract: In some examples, a controller may include a processing resource and a memory resource storing machine readable instructions executable to cause the processing resource to set an electrical power threshold, monitor an amount of electrical power distributed between a plurality of phases of a multi-phase converter operation. The controller may detect a load disparity between a particular phase of the plurality of phases, disable the particular phase, and redistribute the electrical power amongst the remaining phases of the multi-phase converter operation.

  • Patent number: 10863648
    Abstract: A modular fan chassis air filtering system includes a base that defines a fan device housing that houses a fan device. At least one system chassis coupling feature is included on the base and couples to a system chassis via a modular fan chassis housing defined by the system chassis. An air inlet is defined by the base and allows air to enter the fan device housing in response to operation of the fan device. An air outlet is defined by the base and allows air to exit the fan device housing in response to operation of the fan device. An air filter housing is defined by the base, located between the air inlet and the air outlet, and houses an air filter that filters the air that enters the fan device housing through the air inlet before that air exits the fan device housing through the air outlet.

  • Publication number: 20180348957
    Abstract: A channel scan architecture for detecting touch events on a touch sensor panel is disclosed. The channel scan architecture can combine drive logic, sense channels and channel scan logic on a single monolithic chip. The channel scan logic can be configured to implement a sequence of scanning processes in a panel subsystem without intervention from a panel processor. The channel scan architecture can provide scan sequence control to enable the panel processor to control the sequence in which individual scans are implemented in the panel subsystem. Type of scans that can be implemented in the panel subsystem can include a spectral analysis scan, touch scan, phantom touch scan, ambient light level scan, proximity scan and temperature scan.
