  • Patent number: 12301012
    Abstract: Systems and methods for ambient electromagnetic power harvesting (AEPH) chip reader-writer devices are provided that selectively control RF parameters of electro-magnetic (EM) signals transmitted to an AEPH chip. In embodiments, the selection of which RF parameter configuration is applied when transmitting an EM signal is determined by an RF parameter selection processor based on the function being invoked from the AEPH chip. In one embodiment, an AEPH chip reader-writer selects a first configuration of radio frequency (RF) parameters from a plurality of RF parameters based on a determination of a first operation for execution by an ambient electromagnetic power harvesting chip; configures an RF transmit path circuit to use the first configuration of RF parameters; and initiates execution of the first operation in the ambient electromagnetic power harvesting chip by transmitting via the RF transmit path circuit a first electromagnetic signal using the first configuration of RF parameters.

  • Patent number: 12301839
    Abstract: Non-transform blocks of video content may be coded by selectively changing a scanning order. In some implementations, an encoder or decoder may perform a scanning process on a block according to a scanning order. When the block has not been transformed, the encoder or decoder may selectively change the scanning order to a different order. For example, if the block is associated with a particular type of prediction, the scanning order may be changed to a different order. In another example, if the non-transform block has a size that is smaller than a predetermined size, the scanning order may be changed to a different order.
