  • Patent number: 11568821
    Abstract: A array substrate includes: a first sub-pixel, a second sub-pixel and a dummy sub-pixel that are located in a display region; a luminance attenuation degree of the first sub-pixel is greater than that of the second sub-pixel along a target direction; and a light-emitting layer of the dummy sub-pixel is configured to emit light having a color the same as that of light emitted by the first sub-pixel. As the dummy sub-pixel further includes the connecting electrode electrically connecting the pixel circuit with the light-emitting layer of the dummy sub-pixel the luminance attenuation of the first sub-pixel may be effectively compensated by driving the dummy sub-pixel to emit light.

  • Patent number: 11543665
    Abstract: Techniques for updating a position of overlaid image content using IMU data to reflect subsequent changes in camera positions to minimize latency effects are disclosed. A “system camera” refers to an integrated camera that is a part of an HMD. An “external camera” is a camera that is separated from the HMD. The system camera and the external camera generate images. These images are overlaid on one another and aligned to form an overlaid image. Content from the external camera image is surrounded by a bounding element in the overlaid image. IMU data associated with both the system camera and the external camera is obtained. Based on that IMU data, an amount of movement that the system camera and/or the external camera have moved since the images were originally generated is determined. Based on that movement, the bounding element is shifted to a new position in the overlaid image.

  • Patent number: 11385875
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for propagating reduced-precision on computation graphs are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data specifying a directed graph that includes operators for a program. The operators include first operators that each represent a numerical operation performed on numerical values having a first level of precision and second operators that each represent a numerical operation performed on numerical values having a second level of precision. One or more downstream operators are identified for a first operator. A determination is made whether each downstream operator represents a numerical operation that is performed on input values having the second level of precision. Whenever each downstream operator represents a numerical operation that is performed on input values having the second level of precision, a precision of numerical values output by the operation represented by the first operator is adjusted to the second level of precision.

  • Patent number: 11385945
    Abstract: A method and system for event consumers management are described. A batch of events that is stored in an event recordation system according to an aggregate topic is received based on the aggregate topic. Each event from the batch of events is associated with an initial topic to be used by a respective instance of an event consumer from a set of event consumers to consume events. A first initial topic associated with one or more events from the batch of events is determined. Based on the first initial topic, a state of a first event consumer is updated to a running state. The updated state of the first event consumer causes execution of a first instance of the first event consumer on a server of a cluster of servers for consuming events from the event recordation system based on the first initial topic.

  • Patent number: 11366709
    Abstract: Cloud computing techniques utilizing distributed application execution are disclosed herein. One example technique includes receiving a command to launch an application, and in response, determining an execution location corresponding to a type of data consumed by individual components of the application. Upon determining that one of the components is to be executed in a local computing facility, the example technique includes transmitting, from a cloud computing facility to the local computing facility, a request to execute the one of the components in the local computing facility instead of the cloud computing facility. Upon being authorized by the local computing facility, data is requested and received from the one of the components executed at the local computing facility without having direct access from the cloud computing facility to a data source at the local computing facility.

  • Patent number: 11366704
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a platform offering configurable analytics facilitating performance analysis between multiple Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)—e.g., APIs of individual microservices invoked by a cloud application as part of an end-to-end process flow. For purposes of performance monitoring, a visualization framework according to embodiments permits user configuration of end points of the cloud application. A library parses that configuration, storing analytics data in a schema provided by the application. The library can store metadata generated by the monitoring configuration, allowing generation of analytical reports based upon that metadata. Configuration options permit creating visualizations (e.g., charts) for individual microservice APIs, and co-relating data between APIs by providing contextual navigation from visualization of one API metric to another.
