Patent number: 11977757Abstract: Profile switching for memory overclocking is described. In accordance with the described techniques, a memory is operated according to a first memory profile. During operation of the memory according to the first memory profile, a request is received to operate the memory according to a second memory profile. Responsive to the request, operation of the memory is switched to operate according to the second memory profile without rebooting. In one or more implementations, at least one of the first memory profile or the second memory profile comprises an overclocking memory profile that configures the memory to operate in an overclocking mode. In one or more implementations, the memory is trained to operate according to the overclocking memory profile prior to operating the memory according to the first memory profile.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: Grant Evan Ley, Jayesh Hari Joshi, Amitabh Mehra, Jerry Anton Ahrens, Joshua Taylor Knight, Anil Harwani, William Robert Alverson

Patent number: 11978159Abstract: A cross reality system that provides an immersive user experience by storing persistent spatial information about the physical world that one or multiple user devices can access to determine position within the physical world and that applications can access to specify the position of virtual objects within the physical world. Persistent spatial information enables users to have a shared virtual, as well as physical, experience when interacting with the cross reality system. Further, persistent spatial information may be used in maps of the physical world, enabling one or multiple devices to access and localize into previously stored maps, reducing the need to map a physical space before using the cross reality system in it. Persistent spatial information may be stored as persistent coordinate frames, which may include a transformation relative to a reference orientation and information derived from images in a location corresponding to the persistent coordinate frame.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Anush Mohan, Rafael Domingos Torres, Daniel Olshansky, Samuel A.

Patent number: 11935127Abstract: This technology relates to providing a web-based digital claims platform to provide users with a simple and customized experience when filing insurance claims. The platform is enabled by a plurality of back-end application programming interface (API) resources. These API resources are event-driven (e.g., when an “event” associated with the claim occurs, the status of the claim changes and the API is provided with updated information indicative of the change). The platform includes a customized user interface (UI) that tailors the claim experience to a particular user's needs. The customization can be based off of stated user preferences and/or learned user preferences associated with the user's past behavior. A user can perform/request various services through the customized UI's self-service function (e.g., rent a car, find a hotel room, select a repair shop, etc.). Additionally, the customized UI can enable the user upload documents, track claim status, find relevant help topics, etc.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: William Simonovich, Jordan Leach, Natalie Smith, Brittany Boyer, Yohan Santos, Kenrick Niedbalski, Richard Kim, Deborah Taylor, Jared Musil, Archy Ntabona, Abdul Wahab, Loubna Fassi, Mary Gonsalves, Benjamin Tarmann, Sam Yeargin
