  • Patent number: 11528389
    Abstract: A method and system for synchronizing an audio signal and a video signal includes a source device receiving an audio-video signal comprising the audio signal and the video signal. The video signal has a video time stamp. The source device communicates the audio signal from the source device to a first sink device through a wireless network with a second time stamp and communicates the video signal to the second sink device with the video time stamp. The second sink device generates a synchronization (synch) signal and communicates the synch signal to the first sink device. The first sink device compares the synch signal to the second time stamp, adjusts a relative timing of the playback of the audio signal in response to comparing and generates an audible signal from the audio signal.

  • Patent number: 11528765
    Abstract: A wireless device receives, from a first base station, at least one radio resource control (RRC) message. The at least one RRC message comprises master cell group (MCG) configuration parameters of a primary cell (PCell) of the first base station and secondary cell group (SCG) configuration parameters of a primary SCG cell (PSCell) of a second base station, for dual connectivity of the wireless device with the first base station and the second base station. The wireless device determines a failure of the PCell before the PSCell configuration is applied. Based on the failure of the PCell, the wireless device performs a cell selection. In response to the selected cell being the PSCell, the wireless device synchronizes with the PSCell based on the SCG configuration parameters.

  • Patent number: 11528796
    Abstract: A two-way load control system comprises a power device, such as a load control device for controlling an electrical load receiving power from an AC power source, and a controller adapted to be coupled in series between the source and the power device. The load control system may be installed without requiring any additional wires to be run, and is easily configured without the need for a computer or an advanced commissioning procedure. The power device receives both power and communication over two wires. The controller generates a phase-control voltage and transmits a forward digital message to the power device by encoding digital information in timing edges of the phase-control voltage. The power device transmits a reverse digital message to the controller via the power wiring.

  • Patent number: 11528575
    Abstract: A system and method for dynamically controlling multiple wireless speakers in response to the sensed location of one or more listeners and predefined audio preferences associated therewith. The position of a device associated with a given user is continuously monitored and the state of the wireless speakers adjusted accordingly so as to provide the user with a customized, yet consistent audio experience as they move with respect to the wireless speakers. Prioritization among multiple user devices is also provided for, thereby ensuring that higher-priority users are provided with the aural environment they have specified, or placing the wireless speaker system into an operational state that provides a suitable audio environment for all users.

  • Patent number: 11524537
    Abstract: A vehicle, hitch, and articulating trailer include vehicle to vehicle and infrastructure communications and vehicle computing systems, which have a controller coupled to and/or including one or more of a dynamics measurement unit, a transceiver, and a position sensor, among other components. The controller(s) are configured to, in response to detecting positions of trailer corners from the position sensor, generate vehicle and trailer relative orientation and navigation data including location, velocity, and orientation, utilizing vehicle and trailer electronic polyhedrons articulating about a hitch point and representing the combination vehicle and trailer predicted path and envelopes. In response to detected trailer movement relative to the hitch point, the generated articulated polyhedrons are generated with the navigation data, which includes the location, speed, and orientation, which are in turn communicated to nearby vehicles and roadway infrastructure.

  • Patent number: 11526380
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, devices, systems, and procedures in a computing system for capturing a configuration state of an operating system executing on a central processing unit (CPU), and offloading resource-related tasks, based on the configuration state, to a resource management unit such as a system-on-chip (SoC). The resource management unit identifies a status of each resource based on the captured configuration state of the operating system. The resource management unit then processes tasks associated with the status of the resources, such as modifying a clock rate of a clocked component in the computing system. This can alleviate the CPU from processing those tasks thereby improving overall computing system performance and dynamics.

  • Patent number: 11526152
    Abstract: In some embodiments, techniques are provided for verifying that a fabrication system can fabricate a proposed segmented design. A paintbrush pattern that represents capabilities of the fabrication system is determined. One or more forbidden patterns that the fabrication system is not capable of fabricating are determined based on the paintbrush pattern. The proposed segmented design is then searched for the forbidden patterns. If any forbidden patterns are found, the proposed segmented design is determined to not be fabricable by the fabrication system. If no forbidden patterns are found, then the proposed segmented design is determined to be fabricable by the fabrication system.
