Patent number: 12265830Abstract: Disclosed embodiments are related to techniques for powering compute platforms in low temperature environments. Embodiments include a preheating stage that is added to a power up sequence. The preheating stage may include a force-on stage and a force-offstage. During the force-on stage, all power rails of target components are forced to an ON state so that the target components consume current. When a target operating temperature is reached, the power rails of the target components are turned off, which causes the target components to revert back to their initial (pre-boot) state allowing the normal boot process to take place. Since the target components are now heated up, the boot process can execute faster than when the target components were cold. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2020Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Min Wu, Jun Zhang, Yuyang Xia, Dan Liu, Chao Zhou, Lianchang Du, Carrie Chen, Nishi Ahuja, Jason Crop, Wenqing Lv

Patent number: 12236501Abstract: The present invention relates to latency compensation for image processing devices. In order to assign overlay data to frames of a raw image stream (210), past frames within a selection of frames of the raw image stream are considered, which past frames already underwent image processing. A current frame of the raw image stream (210) is compared to the past frames contained in the selection of frames, and that one of the past frames is identified that is most similar to the current frame. Overlay data from the identified past frame are chosen and assigned to the current frame. Thus, the current frame can be presented together with the assigned overlay data chosen from the most similar past frame and without the need to wait for the result of a computationally expensive and time-consuming image processing of the current frame.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Thomas Netsch, Frank Michael Weber

Patent number: 12228961Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a memory system that generates a multiplied timing signal from a reference timing signal. During operation, the system receives a reference timing signal. Next, the system produces a multiplied timing signal from the reference timing signal by generating a burst comprising multiple timing events for each timing event in the reference timing signal, wherein consecutive timing events in each burst of timing events are separated by a bit time. Then, as the reference clock frequency changes, the interval between bursts of timing events changes while the bit time remains substantially constant.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2024Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Rambus Inc.Inventor: Frederick A.
