Patent number: 11995756Abstract: An electronic device displays a first icon comprising a shape. While displaying the first icon, the device receives a voice command corresponding to a request for media content from the application. In response to, and while receiving, the voice command, the device dynamically animates the first icon, including distorting a radius of a portion of the shape in accordance with a direction of the voice command. The dynamic animation indicates that the electronic device is in a first state. After the voice command is completed, the device displays an indication that the device is in a second state that is distinct from the first state.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2021Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Spotify ABInventors: Harry Morgan Bentell, Aaron Paul Harmon, Andreas Gustav Christian PĂ„lsson, Karl Humphreys, Nicola Felaco, Daniel Bromand

Publication number: 20240085964Abstract: A system and method for updating power supply voltages due to variations from aging are described. A functional unit includes a power supply monitor capable of measuring power supply variations in a region of the functional unit. An age counter measures an age of the functional unit. A control unit notifies the power supply monitor to measure an operating voltage reference. When the control unit receives a measured operating voltage reference, the control unit determines an updated age of the region different from the current age based on the measured operating voltage reference. The control unit updates the age counter with the corresponding age, which is younger than the previous age in some cases due to the region not experiencing predicted stress and aging. The control unit is capable of determining a voltage adjustment for the operating voltage reference based on an age indicated by the age counter.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Sriram Sambamurthy, Sriram Sundaram, Indrani Paul, Larry David Hewitt, Anil Harwani, Aaron Joseph Grenat, Dana Glenn Lewis, Leonardo Piga, Wonje Choi, Karthik Rao

Publication number: 20240052740Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that determine data characterizing spatial variation of vibrational dysfunction (such as HFTO) along the BHA of a drilling system. In embodiments, such data can be determined from a minimal set of measurements of any or all of four variables that include: vibration amplitude; vibration wavelength; vibration frequency; and the axial position of the first vibrational node. In embodiments, such data can be determined from measurements of vibration amplitude and vibration frequency of a BHA at two fixed positions along the BHA (e.g., with two sensors offset axially along the BHA). In other embodiments, such data can be generated from the estimated position of the first vibrational node and measurements of vibration amplitude and vibration frequency by a single sensor disposed at a fixed axial position along the BHA.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Ashley Bernard Johnson, Aaron Paul Simon
