Publication number: 20240111318Abstract: Current temperatures for an enclosure of a media handling device are monitored and managed using threshold temperature values. When a current temperature deviates below a threshold temperature value, commands are sent to modules of the device to start and idle their motors causing heat to be generated from current flowing to the motors. The heat radiates within the enclosure raising the current temperature. When the current temperature reaches a second threshold temperature value for the enclosure, second commands are sent to the modules of the device to stop idling their motors causing heat within the enclosure to dissipate and lowering the current temperature for the enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Paul David Rutherford, Adam Delaney Boyd, Donald Iain MacInnes, He Ren

Publication number: 20240094055Abstract: Embodiments herein describe spectroscopy systems that use an unmodulated reference optical signal to mitigate noise, or for other advantages. In one embodiment, the unmodulated reference optical signal is transmitted through the same vapor cell as a modulated pump optical signal. As such, the unmodulated reference optical signal experiences absorption by the vapor, which converts laser phase noise to amplitude noise like the other optical signals passing through the vapor cell. In one embodiment, the unmodulated reference optical signal has an optical path in the gas cell that is offset (or non-crossing) from the optical path of the modulated pump optical signal. The unmodulated reference optical signal allows removal or mitigation of the noise on the other optical signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Jonathan David ROSLUND, Martin Machai BOYD, Arman CINGOZ, William David LUNDEN

Publication number: 20240095237Abstract: Identification of content gaps based on relative user-selection rates between multiple discrete content sources. A system analyzes search log activity to determine whether users that are conducting particular types of search activities are ultimately selecting and relying upon content resources from a predefined content source of interest or, alternatively, whether such users are unsatisfied with the predefined content source of interest and are instead relying upon other third-party content sources. This particular type of analysis provides valuable insights into whether content gaps exist within the predefined content source of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Junia Anna GEORGE, Chetan BANSAL, Nikitha RAO, Casey Jo GOSSARD, Dung NGUYEN, David Boyd LUDWIG, IV, Curtis Dean ANDERSON

Patent number: 11166294Abstract: Many environments or operational conditions create repetitive radio frequency (RF) interference conditions resulting from repetitive mechanical or electrical activity. This activity may create oscillations in the RF conditions between an MTC UE and a serving base station. Aspects of the present invention are directed to improving data efficiency and battery life by optimizing communication based on a detected periodicity of repetitive mechanical or electrical activity at the UE by monitoring the oscillations of at least one RF condition between the MTC UE and the base station, and scheduling communication between the UE and the network during periods associated with favorable radio conditions.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2019Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Juha Sirkka, Christophe Chevallier, Hetal Pathak, Onur Senel, Saravanan Balasubramani, Neil Carlson, Leonid Golovanevsky, John David Boyd, Tawfik Benabdeljalil
