  • Patent number: 12231114
    Abstract: Implementing a series gate resistor in a switching circuit results in several performance improvements. Few examples are better insertion loss, lower breakdown voltage requirements and a lower frequency corner. These benefits come at the expense of a slower switching time. Methods and devices offering solutions to this problem are described. Using a concept of bypassing the series gate resistor during transition time, a fast switching time can be achieved while the above-mentioned performance improvements are maintained.

  • Publication number: 20250044918
    Abstract: A computing device (e.g., a server, a cloud-based device, a network device, an item analysis device, etc.) may receive location information indicating a geographic location of a user device and image data captured by the user device of a listing (e.g., a menu, an event ticket, a content source, etc.) for a selectable item. The computing device may determine an entity offering the selectable item based on the location information. An intent indicator for the selectable item may be determined based on the entity and the information for the selectable item. An instruction to the user device may cause modification of the image data to indicate the intent indicator based on the intent indicator satisfying an intent threshold that defines a level at which an intent is classified as a positive intent.
