  • Publication number: 20240413666
    Abstract: An example computing device includes a wireless communication device, such as a wireless wide area network (WWAN) communication device, that communicates in a first band of electromagnetic radiation, and a wireless charging system that wirelessly charges a peripheral device using a second band of electromagnetic radiation. The wireless charging system operating in the first band may introduce harmonic noise that negatively impacts communication in the second band. Accordingly, in various examples, the system operates to adjust the charge rate used by the wireless charging system based on a function of the charge state of the peripheral device and a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value of a signal received by the wireless communication device. In some instances, the wireless charging rate of the peripheral device may be disabled or reduced when the RSSI value of the signal received by the wireless communication device is below a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 12166945
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods may provide for technology to control the printing of halftoning screen signatures for various levels of prints. For example, such prints may include regular edition prints or limited edition prints. During printing, a first halftoning screen is associated with one or more of the regular edition prints and a second halftoning screen is associated with the limited edition print, in some implementations. The second halftoning screen has a spatial frequency that is substantially the same as the first halftoning screen while having a spatial signature different from the first halftoning screen. Additionally, the second halftoning screen further may have spectral properties that are substantially the same as the first halftoning screen. During printing, two different printed copies of an image are formed using the first halftoning screen and the second halftoning screen.
