Patent number: 11934251Abstract: A memory controller couples to a data fabric clock domain, and to a physical layer interface circuit PHY clock domain. A first interface circuit adapts transfers between the data fabric clock domain (FCLK) and the memory controllers clock domain, and a second interface circuit couples the memory controller to the PHY clock domain. A power controller responds to a power state change request by sending commands to the second interface circuit to change parameters of a memory system and to update a set of timing parameters of the memory controller according to a selected power state of a plurality of power states. The power controller further responds to a request to synchronize with a new frequency on the FCLK domain by changing a set of timing parameters of the clock interface circuit without changing the set of timing parameters of the memory system or the selected power state.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventors: James R. Magro, Christopher Weaver, Abhishek Kumar Verma

Publication number: 20240089308Abstract: Methods and systems are described for content delivery. A user of a first computing device that is playing back content may want to transfer or cast the content to a second computing device. When the first computing device receives the request to cast the content to the second computing device, the content may continue to be received and played back by the first computing device while it establishes a seamless transition to the second computing device. The first computing device may contact the content origin and send to the second computing device a manifest file that instructs the second computing device to request an initial portion of the segments of the content from the first computing device. The content origin may then process the cast request from the first computing device and begin providing subsequent segments of content to the second computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Nicholas Mandato, John Bieberly, Jonathan Kirkovich, James Rupert, Christopher Weaver

Patent number: 11910041Abstract: Systems and methods are described for delivering regional content for a lineup over a national network. A content provider may select a particular regional broadcast for inclusion in a regional service lineup. The content provider may be able to broadcast multiple, or even all, services nationally. At regional distribution centers, a multiplexer may select only those services that are desired for the region in response to in-stream signals. In some instances, a single region-specific version of a given service may be selected from multiple versions broadcasted nationally. The regional lineup, including the selected services, can then be multiplexed and transmitted to customers throughout the region.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: TiVo CorporationInventors: Michael Harrell, Eric Middlemist, Christopher Weaver

Patent number: 11653059Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for preventing and/or discouraging access by children and/or other persons to restricted content and/or other information. Some users may have different hearing and may be able to hear sounds at different, for example higher, frequencies than other users. Users may also wish to discourage and/or prevent other users from consuming restricted content. A sound output at a high frequency may be used to disrupt the viewing experience of a user that is not permitted to consume restricted content. The high frequency sound may cause the user that is not permitted to consume restricted content to leave an environment where the content item is output. The high frequency sound may be inaudible to users that are permitted to consume restricted content. The high-frequency sound may discourage and/or prevent some users from consuming restricted content without disrupting the user experience of other users.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Jonathan Kirkovich, John Bieberly, Nicholas Mandato, Christopher Weaver, James Rupert
