Vlad Radu CALUGARU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240103604
    Abstract: Techniques and systems for enhanced adjustment of quantities and placement of decoupling capacitance on circuit boards for integrated circuits is provided herein. An example method includes iterating application of a load profile across different populations of decoupling capacitors on a circuit board for supply voltage domains of an integrated circuit device until a target transient performance is reached for the supply voltage domains. The load profile is applied onto electrical connections corresponding to the supply voltage domains for the integrated circuit device. The method also includes generating a capacitor population configuration for the circuit board based on a population of the decoupling capacitors that achieves the target transient performance.

  • Patent number: 11803221
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an AI power controller that predicts future load transients within a system and that dynamically alters power settings in anticipation of the predicted future load transients. To predict a future load transients, the AI power controller receives as an input application signature data from an application executing on the device. The application signature data includes at least media frame data generated by the application during a time interval. The AI power controller executes logic to compare the received application signature data to historical application signature data, where the historical application signature data includes media frame data generated by the application during one or more past execution instances of the application. Based on the comparison, the AI power controller predicts a load transient of the application at a future point in time and dynamically adjusts a power control setting of the device in anticipation of the predicted load transient.

  • Patent number: 11010325
    Abstract: An adapter includes a first coupling component and a second coupling component to establish bidirectional communications between two processing devices by passing data signals through a memory card slot on one of the devices. The adapter includes a first coupling interface configured to couple with the memory card slot on a first one of the two processing devices and further includes a second coupling interface configured to couple with a second processing device. The second coupling interface is of a different form factor than the first coupling interface.
