  • Patent number: 11428826
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a plurality of single-photon avalanche diodes. The single-photon avalanche diodes may be arranged in microcells. Each microcell may be a split microcell with first and second independent microcell segments. Each microcell segment in the split microcell may have a respective single-photon avalanche diode that is coupled to an output line. The single-photon avalanche diode of each microcell segment may also be coupled to a respective resistor that is used to quench avalanches in the single-photon avalanche diode. Splitting the microcell may reduce the recovery time of each microcell. The segments of the split microcell may be positioned close together, even if susceptible to optical crosstalk. Intra-microcell isolation structures may be formed between the microcell segments. Inter-microcell isolation structures may be formed around a perimeter of the split microcell. The intra-microcell and inter-microcell isolation structures may be different.

  • Patent number: 11429008
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a tunable optical metasurface includes an array of elongated resonator rails arranged parallel to one another. Liquid crystal is positioned within an optical field region between adjacent resonator rails. A controller can selectively apply a voltage differential pattern to the elongated resonator rails to adjust a phase response thereof. According to various embodiments, a cross-backplane reflector is utilized that allows for mid-array routing or edge-array routing of electrical connections between the controller and the resonator rails. The cross-backplane reflector comprises a plurality of elongated optical reflectors extending parallel to one another and perpendicular to the array of resonator rails. An optically transmissive (e.g., transparent) dielectric may electrically separate the resonator rails from the optical reflectors. A pattern of vias formed therein facilitates electrical connections between the optical reflectors and the resonator rails.

  • Patent number: 11432259
    Abstract: A communication management resource such as a domain proxy receives a request transmitted from a wireless base station. The wireless station generates the request to register the wireless base station for subsequent allocation of wireless channels. In response to receiving the request, the communication management resource maps an identity of the wireless base station to a geographical location in which the wireless base station resides and forwards the request and notification of the geographical location to a channel allocation resource (a.k.a., allocation management resource) that allocates use of the wireless channels in a region in which the geographical location resides.

  • Patent number: 11429272
    Abstract: A multi-factor probabilistic model evaluates user input to determine if the user input was intended for an on-screen user interface control. When user input is received, a probability is computed that the user input was intended for each on-screen user interface control. The user input is then associated with the user interface control that has the highest computed probability. The probability that user input was intended for each user interface control may be computed utilizing a multitude of factors including the probability that the user input is near each user interface control, the probability that the motion of the user input is consistent with the user interface control, the probability that the shape of the user input is consistent with the user interface control, and that the size of the user input is consistent with the user interface control.

  • Patent number: 11429523
    Abstract: A memory controller maintains a mapping of target ranges in system memory space interleaved two-ways across locations in a three-rank environment. For each range of the target ranges, the mapping comprises a two-way interleaving of the range across two ranks of the three-rank environment and offsets from base locations in the two ranks. At least one of the ranges has offsets that differ relative to each other. Such offsets allow the three ranks to be fully interleaved, two ways. An instruction to read data at a rank-agnostic location in the diverse-offset range causes the memory controller to map the rank-agnostic location to two interleaved locations offset different amounts from their respective base locations in their ranks. The controller may then affect the transfer of the data at the two interleaved locations.

  • Patent number: 11425860
    Abstract: A header for an agricultural harvester comprising a chassis and an auger having a tube extending in end to end relation with and rotatably supported by the chassis. The header further includes a drive mounted adjacent a mid-portion of the auger and operatively engaged with the mid-portion of the auger for driving rotation thereof. The header thus provides an auger which is driven at its mid-portion, thereby eliminating the hydraulic complexities of augers that are driven at their ends. In addition, when the auger tube is continuous, the mid-portion driven, continuous tube auger eliminates the crop dead spot that typically occurs when split augers are deployed.
