  • Patent number: 11989824
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable storage media are disclosed for generating enriched light sources by utilizing surface-centric representations of three-dimensional surfaces. Specifically, the disclosed system utilizes a surface-centric re-parameterization that combines geometric and algebraic components of a sphere to model different light source types in a continuous range of lighting configurations. The disclosed systems utilize a set of intuitive parameters to determine a shape and emission parameters for generating an enriched light source. Additionally, the disclosed system provides a set of interactive light source controls to modify a position, orientation, shape, emittance, and lighting attenuation over distance of a light source within a three-dimensional environment. The disclosed system determines the light source controls based on sets of three-dimensional interaction primitives to control one or more parameters of the light source.

  • Patent number: 11989049
    Abstract: An oscillator and a clock circuit are disclosed. In an oscillator (100), a tail inductor connected to a cross-coupled transistor includes at least two inductors connected in parallel. Therefore, an inductance of the tail inductor is less than an inductance of any one of the inductors. This can address a design difficulty that a tail inductor with a smaller inductance needs to be used as an operating frequency of a VCO increases. The oscillator (100) includes a first cross-coupled transistor (121) and a first tail inductor (111). The first tail inductor (111) includes at least two inductors connected in parallel. The first tail inductor (111) is coupled to a source of the first cross-coupled transistor (121). The source of the first cross-coupled transistor (121) is coupled to a power supply or a ground through the first tail inductor (111).
