Patent number: 8810156Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) driver system includes a control circuit that provides a waveform for driving a power transistor to generate a regulated current through one or more LEDs, and an error amplifier that generates an output compensation signal based on a comparison of a desired regulated current and an actual regulated current through the one or more LEDs. The output compensation signal is used to set an output compensation voltage that sets the duty cycle of the waveform. The LED driver system further comprises a dimming control device configured during a dimming control mode to alternate between dimming-on time periods and dimming-off time periods, and a sample and hold switch having a first state for holding the output compensation voltage fixed during each dimming-off time period, and a second state for restoring the error amplifier to its previous dimming-on operating state upon returning to each subsequent dimming-on time period.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Joel Nathan Brassfield, Ashish Khandelwal

Patent number: 8812517Abstract: A way of detecting a watermark present in a structured result, such as a search result or a machine translation. The structured result is received and a hash is computed based upon at least part of the result. The resulting bit sequence is tested against a null hypothesis that the bit sequence was generated by a random variable with a binomial distribution with a parameter p=0.5. The result of this test is compared to a significance level, which indicates whether the structured result is watermarked.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Ashish Venugopal, Jurij Ganitkevic, Franz Josef Och, David Robert Talbot, Jakob David Uszkoreit

Publication number: 20140229112Abstract: Adsorbed gas in a formation may be estimated. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data for a subsurface geological formation is obtained, and at least a portion of the NMR data is corrected to produce corrected NMR data. A NMR-based estimate of formation porosity is determined using the corrected NMR data. Dielectric permittivity data for the subsurface geological formation is obtained, and a dielectric permittivity-based estimate of the formation water-filled porosity is determined using the dielectric permittivity data. A gas volume is determined using the determined NMR-based estimate of the formation porosity and the determined dielectric permittivity-based estimate of the formation water-filled porosity. The gas volume may be determined by subtracting the determined dielectric permittivity-based estimate of the formation water-filled porosity from the determined NMR-based estimate of the formation porosity. The gas volume per unit volume of the formation may be determined using an equation of state.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2013Publication date: August 14, 2014Applicant: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Ashish Datey, Timothy Andrew John Hopper, Lalitha Venkataramanan

Publication number: 20140229717Abstract: This disclosure is directed to binary translator driven program state relocation. In general, a device may protect vulnerable program functions by setting them as non-executable. If an attempt is made to execute a protected program function, the program may trap to a binary translator in the device that may be configured to relocate program state from what has already been established (e.g., on a stack register). Program state may include resources (e.g., memory locations) used by the program during the course of execution. The binary translator may then translate the program into an executable form based on the relocated program state, and may be executed accordingly. Intruding code that attempts to overcome normal program execution and implement hostile operations (e.g., based the program state that is reflected in the stack register) will not function as intended since the relocated program state will cause unexpected results.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2013Publication date: August 14, 2014Inventors: ASHISH VENKAT, Arvind Krishnaswamy, KOICHI YAMADA, PALANIVELRAJAN RAJAN SHANMUGAVELAYUTHAM

Patent number: 8804837Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for selecting a mode to encode video data. The method comprises the steps of (a) transforming a source video frame into a set of coefficients, (b) partitioning said set of coefficients into a plurality of subsets of the coefficients on the basis of probability statistics corresponding to a plurality of encoding modes, wherein each of said subsets is identified for encoding by one of the plurality of encoding modes.

Patent number: 8806256Abstract: A power supply unit of an information handling system determines that a power consumption module of the information handling system is available. If the power consumption module is available, the power supply unit measures input power of the power supply unit and provides a representation of the input power to the power consumption module in response to receiving a power measurement request from the power consumption module. If the power supply unit determines that the power consumption module is not available, the power supply unit measures input power of the power supply unit and stores a representation of the input power at the power supply unit independent of a power measurement request from the power consumption module.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2013Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: Ashish Munjal, Alan Brumley, Jaydev Reddy

Publication number: 20140216465Abstract: Contraceptive methods, systems, and devices generally improve the ease, speed, and reliability with which a contraceptive device can be deployed transcervically into an ostium of a fallopian tube. The contraceptive device may remain in a small profile configuration while a sheath is withdrawn proximally, and is thereafter expanded to a large profile configuration engaging the surrounding tissues, by manipulating one or more actuators of a proximal handle with a single hand. This leaves the other hand free to manipulate a hysteroscope, minimizing the number of health care professional required to deploy the contraceptive device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2014Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: Bayer Essure Inc.Inventors: Christian Lowe, Don Gurskis, Ashish Khera, Monica Barnhart, Steven Bacich, Betsy Swann, Roberto Silva-Torres
