Patent number: 11592948Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Minh-Dieu Thi Vu, Thomas James Wilson, Christoph H.

Patent number: 11194423Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christoph H.

Patent number: 10863648Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2016Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Joanne Cuijuan Zhang, Thuy Thanh Thi Vu
