Publication number: 20240155484Abstract: Within many applications impulse radio based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmission offers significant benefits for very short range high data rate communications when compared with existing standards and protocols. In many of these applications the main design goals are very low power consumption and very low complexity design for easy integration and cost reduction. Digitally programmable IR-UWB transmitters using an on-off keying modulation scheme on a 0.13 microns CMOS process operating on 1.2V supply and yielding power consumption as low as 0.9 mW at a 10 Mbps data rate with dynamic power control are enabled. The IR-UWB transmitters support new frequency hopping techniques providing more efficient spectrum usage and dynamic allocation of the spectrum when transmitting in highly congested frequency bands. Biphasic scrambling is also introduced for spectral line reduction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: FREDERIC NABKI, DOMINIC DESLANDES, ALEXANDRE DESMARAIS, ANH-KIET VUONG, ANIS BOUNIF, WANG YU HAO, WILLIAM PHAM

Patent number: 11961332Abstract: One or more electronic device may use motion and/or activity sensors to estimate a user's 6 minute walking distance. In particular, because users typically walk at less than their maximum output and in imperfect conditions, control circuitry within the device(s) may rely on walks of shorter distances to estimate the 6 minute walking distance. For example, the control circuitry may gather activity information for the user, such as heart rate, calories burned, and step count, and analyze a distance component and a speed component for periods in which the user has walked. Individual 6 minute walk distance estimates may be generated based on each of the activity information, distance component, and speed component. The distance and speed estimates may be corrected for walking behaviors that deviate from an ideal testing environment, and may then be fused with the activity estimate to generate a final 6 minute walk distance estimate.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: William R. Powers, III, Maryam Etezadi-Amoli, Britni A. Crocker, Allison L. Gilmore, Edith M. Arnold, Hung A. Pham, Irida Mance, Sumayah F. Rahman, Katherine Niehaus, Kyle A. Reed, Maxsim L.

Publication number: 20230319705Abstract: Within many applications impulse radio based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmission offers significant benefits for very short range high data rate communications when compared with existing standards and protocols. In many of these applications the main design goals are very low power consumption and very low complexity design for easy integration and cost reduction. Digitally programmable IR-UWB transmitters using an on-off keying modulation scheme on a 0.13 microns CMOS process operating on 1.2V supply and yielding power consumption as low as 0.9 mW at a 10 Mbps data rate with dynamic power control are enabled. The IR-UWB transmitters support new frequency hopping techniques providing more efficient spectrum usage and dynamic allocation of the spectrum when transmitting in highly congested frequency bands. Biphasic scrambling is also introduced for spectral line reduction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: FREDERIC NABKI, DOMINIC DESLANDES, ALEXANDRE DESMARAIS, ANHKIET VUONG, ANIS BOUNIF, WANG YU HAO, WILLIAM PHAM
