Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a duty cycle detection circuit, a comparator circuit, and a tuning circuit. The duty cycle detection circuit receives a clock signal, such as a system clock signal, and detects the level of duty cycle distortion in the clock signal. The comparator circuit then generates an output based on the level of duty cycle distortion that is detected in the clock signal. The tuning circuit may accordingly adjust the clock signal based on the output generated by the comparator circuit to produce an adjusted clock output signal. As an example, the clock output signal produced by the tuning circuit after the adjustment may have a 50% (or significantly close to 50%) duty cycle.

Abstract: An attendee device in an online conference session views a shared application window in a full screen mode. The attendee device receives data for content being shared by a host device, including at least one application window at a first resolution. The attendee device receives an input to enter a full screen mode for one of the application windows and determines whether displaying that application window at a second resolution for the full screen mode requires the image data to be magnified. When displaying the application window at the second resolution requires magnified image data, the attendee device requests the magnified image data from the meeting server facilitating the conference session. The meeting server provides the magnified image data to the attendee device, and the attendee device displays the application window in full screen mode using the magnified image data.

Abstract: Multi-level symbols generated by applying a Random Projection Code (RPC) to a source bit sequence are received at a receiver via a noisy channel. The received multi-level symbols are represented in a bipartite graph as constraint nodes connected via weighted edges to binary variable nodes that represent the source bit sequence. A decoder uses ZigZag deconvolution to generate constraint node messages as part of an iterative belief propagation to decode the source bit sequence from the received multi-level symbols.
