Patent number: 11595996Abstract: To avoid blocking node AC queues in the degraded MU EDCA mode due to regular OFDMA transmission of data from another AC queue in resource units provided by an AP, the present invention proposes to use a dedicated HEMUEDCATimer for each AC queue, in order for them to be able to exit the degraded MU EDCA mode independently of the other AC queues. In this respect, upon successfully transmitting data stored in two or more traffic queues, in each of one or more accessed resource units provided by the AP within one or more transmission opportunities, the node sets each traffic queue transmitting in the accessed resource unit in the degraded MU EDCA mode for a predetermined degrading duration counted down by a respective timer associated with the transmitting traffic queue. Next, upon expiry of any timer, the node switches back the associated traffic queue to the conventional EDCA mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Stéphane Baron, Patrice Nezou, Pascal Viger

Patent number: 11592889Abstract: A system includes a plurality of systems-on-a-chip (SoCs), connected by a network. The plurality of SoCs and the network are configured to operate as a single logical computing system. The plurality of SoCs may be configured to exchange local power information indicative of network activity occurring on their respective portions of the network. A given one of the plurality of SoCs may be configured to determine that a local condition for placing the respective portion of the network corresponding to the given SoC into a reduced power mode has been satisfied. The given SoC may be further configured to place the respective portion of the network into the reduced power mode in response to determining that a global condition for the reduced power mode is satisfied. The global condition may be assessed based upon current local power information for remaining ones of the plurality of SoCs.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Dany Davidov, Misbah Ramadan, Itamar Rozen, Tzach Zemer

Patent number: 11587486Abstract: A display device includes a control circuit and a driving circuit driving a display panel to display an image. In response to determining that the driving circuit is to be switched from a running state to a standby state, the control circuit stops supplying power to the driving circuit. In response to determining that the driving circuit is to be switched from the standby state to the running state, the control circuit resumes the power supply to the driving circuit, and transmits a target reset signal to the driving circuit. The target reset signal is the same as a reset signal sent by a host computer to the driving circuit in response to a coupling being established between the driving circuit and the host computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignees: Beijing BOE Optoelectronics Technology Co., LTD., BOE Technology Group Co., LTD.Inventor: Feng Gao

Patent number: 11579676Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods that control power consumption in a processor are disclosed. One system apparatus, and method includes a processor that operates in at least a first power control mode including a first power amount and a second power control mode including a second power amount lower than the first power amount and a power control device. The power control device is configured to control power consumption in the processor, change a power control mode of the processor to the first power control mode in response to a first excess time period in which the power consumption of the processor exceeds a first reference power for a first period of time, and change the power control mode of the processor to the second power control mode in response to a second period of time in which the power consumption is less than or equal to a second reference power.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Lenovo (Singapore) Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Atsunobu Nakamura, Takuroh Kamimura, Hajime Yoshizawa

Patent number: 11567553Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for managing power supplies and related power consumption alerts for a server based on the availability of redundant power supplies. When the system detects that a redundant power supply to a server has ceased to provide power, the system configures a new power consumption threshold for the remaining power supply. The new power consumption threshold is different than an initial power consumption threshold (if configured) when the redundant power supply was providing power. A power consumption threshold for triggering power consumption alerts for a power supply may be based on a number of power supplies actively providing power.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: David Warren Hartwell, Andrew David Reid Brown

Patent number: 11567861Abstract: In an embodiment, a system may support programmable hashing of address bits at a plurality of levels of granularity to map memory addresses to memory controllers and ultimately at least to memory devices. The hashing may be programmed to distribute pages of memory across the memory controllers, and consecutive blocks of the page may be mapped to physically distant memory controllers. In an embodiment, address bits may be dropped from each level of granularity, forming a compacted pipe address to save power within the memory controller. In an embodiment, a memory folding scheme may be employed to reduce the number of active memory devices and/or memory controllers in the system when the full complement of memory is not needed.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2021Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Steven Fishwick, Jeffry E.
