  • Patent number: 12040848
    Abstract: Described herein are methods of making and using and apparatus for wirelessly communicating data and providing power, particularly from a location exterior to a body and to an implantable device disposed within a body with tissue. The described embodiments provide apparatus and methods for efficiently transfer data and power between an external transceiver and an (implanted) biomedical device. The method is to modulate power carrier, which wirelessly powers the device, using an asynchronous modulation scheme, such as amplitude shift keying (ASK) modulation, with minimal modulation depth in order to not disrupt the power flow. The digital data is encoded in the pulse width, eliminating the need for synchronization to the power carrier signal and further minimizing the power consumption necessary for data transfer. Additionally, a reverse backscatter method for obtaining data from the implant is described that has flexible, low power operation.

  • Patent number: 12034505
    Abstract: A communication device, computer program product, and method proactively implement a successful transmit antenna configuration to address antenna outages for multiple transmit carrier scenarios. A carrier of the communication device determines a first transmit carrier, of at least two transmit carriers of a multiple transmit carrier mode, that is identified as having priority among the at least two transmit carriers. The controller identifies one or more transmit antenna configurations in the transmit antenna configuration data that support the first transmit carrier. The carrier determining, for each transmit antenna configuration, an aggregate antenna outage metric that indicates the transmit performance for a corresponding transmit antenna configuration. The controller configures an antenna switching network and RF frontend of a communication subsystem of the communication device with a first transmit antenna configuration that has a better aggregate antenna outage metric than other antenna configurations.

  • Patent number: 12010332
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices, and systems for video compression. The present implementations more specifically relate to video compression techniques that account for spatial-temporal changes in pixel values. In some aspects, an encoder may determine a change importance factor (CIF) for each image tile of a current image to be encoded. The encoder may calculate the CIF for an image tile of the current image (the “current image tile”) based on a degree of variation among the pixel values in the current image tile, a degree of change between the current image tile and a respective image tile of a previously-encoded image (the “previous image tile”), and a degree of variation among the pixel values in the previous image tile. In some implementations, the encoder may determine whether to transmit each of the current image tiles to a receiving device based on the CIF associated with the respective image tile.
