  • Publication number: 20240274636
    Abstract: A pixel sensor array of an image sensor device described herein may include a deep trench isolation (DTI) structure that includes a plurality of DTI portions that extend into a substrate of the image sensor device. Two or more subsets of the plurality of DTI portions may extend around photodiodes of a pixel sensor of the pixel sensor array, and may extend into the substrate to different depths. The different depths enable the photocurrents generated by the photodiodes to be binned and used to generate unified photocurrent. In particular, the different depths enable photons to intermix in the photodiodes, which enables quadradic phase detection (QPD) binning for increased PDAF performance. The increased PDAF performance may include increased autofocus speed, increased high dynamic range, increased quantum efficiency (QE), and/or increased full well conversion (FWC), among other examples.

  • Patent number: 11090559
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, a gaming pedal assembly comprises a base platform and a pedal arm rotatably coupled to the base platform at a first mounting location that provides a first axis of rotation for the pedal arm relative to the base platform. The gaming pedal assembly further includes a piston assembly having a resistance profile, the piston assembly coupled to the pedal arm at a coupling location that provides a second axis of rotation for the piston assembly relative to the pedal arm. The piston assembly is rotatably coupled to the base platform at a second mounting location that provides a third axis of rotation for the piston assembly relative to the base platform. The piston assembly compresses according to the resistance profile of the piston assembly in response to a user interface region of the pedal arm receiving a pressing force.
