  • Patent number: 11385261
    Abstract: A power supply in a test and measurement device includes a stimulus having an output coupled to an amplifier in which an output signal from the stimulus controls an output level of the amplifier. The stimulus may include a Digital to Analog Converter. A measurement circuit detects the output level of the amplifier. The power supply includes an overpulse generator that can be structured to accept a desired amplifier output level, overdrive the stimulus at a first level for a first time period, and drive the stimulus at a second level for a second time period. The measurement circuit determines when the overpulse generator switches from driving the stimulus at the first level to driving the stimulus at the second level. The time period for driving the stimulus at the second level starts as the actual amplifier output level approaches the desired amplifier output level.

  • Patent number: 11385922
    Abstract: One example method includes collecting telemetry data for each of a group of virtual machines (VM), and each of the VMs is associated with a user, collecting usage data for each of the VMs, creating a user profile definition for each user, and the user profile definition is created based on the telemetry data and usage data of the VMs associated with that user, creating, for each user, a user profile that is based on the user profile definition for that user, clustering the users based on similarity of their respective user profiles, and generating a recommended VM hardware configuration for a VM of one of the users.

  • Patent number: 11388618
    Abstract: A distributed radio access network (RAN) includes a plurality of radio points (RPs), each being configured to exchange radio frequency (RF) signals with at least one user equipment (UE). The distributed RAN also includes a baseband controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of RPs via a fronthaul network. The baseband controller is configured to determine, for each of the plurality of RPs, a number of successfully received packets on the fronthaul network, for a wireless channel, during a measurement interval. The baseband controller is also configured to determine, for each of the plurality of RPs, a number of packet losses (reflecting dropped and/or delayed packets), for the wireless channel and during the measurement interval, based on the number of successfully received packets.

  • Patent number: 11388500
    Abstract: Occlusion devices, earpiece devices and methods of forming occlusion devices are provided. An occlusion device is configured to occlude an ear canal. The occlusion device includes an insertion element and at least one expandable element disposed on the insertion element. The expandable element is configured to receive a medium via the insertion element and is configured to expand, responsive to the medium, to contact the ear canal. Physical parameters of the occlusion device are selected to produce a predetermined sound attenuation characteristic over a frequency band, such that sound is attenuated more in a first frequency range of the frequency band than in a second frequency range of the frequency band.

  • Patent number: 11386532
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may receive a video including a sequence of frames. The computing system may access a three-dimensional mask that specifies pixel-sampling locations, the three-dimensional mask having a first dimension and a second dimension corresponding to a spatial domain and a third dimension corresponding to a temporal domain. Blue noise property may be present in the pixel-sampling locations that are associated with each of a plurality of two-dimensional spatial slices of the three-dimensional mask in the spatial domain and the pixel-sampling locations that are associated with each of a plurality of one-dimensional temporal slices of the three-dimensional mask in the temporal domain. The computing system may generate a sample of the video by sampling the sequence of frames using the three-dimensional mask.

  • Patent number: 11384636
    Abstract: A method for normalizing a chemical tracer response in a zone can include measuring a concentration of the tracer as produced from a proximal zone, measuring a concentration of a reference tracer as produced from the proximal zone, and applying a mathematical correction to a concentration of the tracer as produced from the zone. Another method can include normalizing a chemical tracer concentration to a reference tracer concentration, and then allocating flow to a zone corresponding to the tracer based on the normalized tracer concentration. Another method can include injecting a first chemical tracer into a first wellbore reference zone and into additional producing zones of the first wellbore, injecting a second chemical tracer into a second wellbore reference zone and into additional producing zones of the second wellbore, and injecting a third chemical tracer into each of the additional producing zones of the first and second wellbores.

  • Patent number: 11383614
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a combustion engine configured to output mechanical power and an electric machine coupled to the engine and configured to convert the mechanical power to electrical power. The vehicle also includes a battery to exchange electrical power with the electric machine. The vehicle further includes a controller programmed to receive user inputs indicative of a desired storage duration and a storage location and monitor a battery state of charge (SOC) while the vehicle is stored. The controller is also programmed to prompt a remote user to approve an engine auto-start in response to the SOC depleting to less than a predetermined threshold during storage, and to auto-start the engine to generate power to recharge the battery in response to remote user approval. The controller is further programmed to inhibit the auto-start of the engine in response to the vehicle being stored in an enclosed storage location.
