Publication number: 20240111442Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for prefetching data by a display controller. From time to time, a performance-state change of a memory are performed. During such changes, a memory clock frequency is changed for a memory subsystem storing frame buffer(s) used to drive pixels to a display device. During the performance-state change, memory accesses may be temporarily blocked. To sustain a desired quality of service for the display, a display controller is configured to prefetch data in advance of the performance-state change. In order to ensure the display controller has sufficient memory bandwidth to accomplish the prefetch, bandwidth reduction circuitry in clients of the system are configured to temporarily reduce memory bandwidth of corresponding clients.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Ashish Jain, Shang Yang, Jun Lei, Gia Tung Phan, Oswin Hall, Benjamin Tsien, Narendra Kamat

Publication number: 20240103754Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for prefetching data by a display controller. From time to time, a performance-state change of a memory are performed. During such changes, a memory clock frequency is changed for a memory subsystem storing frame buffer(s) used to drive pixels to a display device. During the performance-state change, memory accesses may be temporarily blocked. In order to reduce visual artifacts that may occur while the memory accesses are blocked, a memory subsystem includes a control circuit configured to enable a caching mode which caches display data provided to the display controller. Subsequent requests for display data from the display controller are then serviced using the cached data instead of accessing memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Gia Tung Phan, Ashish Jain, Chintan S. Patel, Benjamin Tsien, Jun Lei, Shang Yang, Oswin Hall

Publication number: 20240071593Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Anna Leigh DAVIS, Scott M. BELLIVEAU, Naresh C. BHAVARAJU, Leif N. BOWMAN, Rita M. CASTILLO, Alexandra Elena CONSTANTIN, Rian W. DRAEGER, Laura J.

Patent number: 11903593Abstract: An anchor delivery system includes both a straight and curved drill guide along with a flexible drill, a flexible obturator and a flexible anchor inserter. The curved drill guide has a distal tip with approximately a 15° bend from the primary axis of the drill guide. Both the drill and the obturator have a reduced diameter section to improve flexibility during passage through the curved drill guide. Additionally, a surface of the inserter shaft has a laser cut pattern which permits flexing of the inserter around the inner diameter of the curved drill guide.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: SMITH & NEPHEW, INC.Inventors: Geoffrey Ian Karasic, Nehal Navinbhai Patel, Marc Joseph Balboa, Matthew Edwin Koski, Benjamin Hall

Publication number: 20240005387Abstract: A system includes a computing device including a processor communicatively coupled to a camera. The computing device is configured to, in response to receiving a request, capture an image via the camera and detect, within the image, a first plurality of locations of a first object. The computing device is further configured to segment the first plurality of locations of the first object by determining, for each location of the first plurality of locations, a likelihood the corresponding location includes a part of the first object. The computing device is configured to inpaint a second plurality of locations with an associated likelihood the corresponding location includes the part of the first object above a threshold value. The computing device is additionally configured to generate an augmented image by superimposing a selected second object over the image and display the augmented image on a user interface of the computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: WARBY PARKER INC.Inventors: DAVID H. GOLDBERG, BENJAMIN HALL, DAVID J. DESHAZER, SASHA LAUNDY, PATRICK STOCK, IGNAT BALTSYUKEVICH, STANISLAV BYCHKOVSKY, VIKTORIA PASHKOVSKAYA, VLADIMIR KURS, ANDREY SNETKOV
