Patent number: 11947827Abstract: The disclosure herein describes enhancing data durability of a base component using a delta component. A delta component is generated based on the base component becoming unavailable. The delta component is configured to include unwritten storage space with an address space matching the base component and a tracking bitmap associated with data blocks of the address space of the delta component. Write operations targeted for the base component are routed to the delta component. Based on the routed write operations, bits associated with data blocks affected by the write operations are changed in the tracking bitmap. Based on the base component becoming available, data blocks affected by routed write operations are identified based on the tracking bitmap and the identified data blocks are synchronized from the delta component to the base component. The delta component is then removed.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Eric Knauft, Enning Xiang, Mansi Shah, Pascal Renauld, Yiqi Xu, Ojan Thornycroft, Pratik Desai, Zhihao Yao, Yizhou Luo

Publication number: 20240079790Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures having a segment that forms a resonating element for an antenna. A speaker may be mounted to a mid-chassis of the electronic device. A printed circuit may be mounted to the speaker and may have a ground trace for the antenna. A conductive spring may extend through the printed circuit and the speaker to couple the ground trace to the mid-chassis. A conductive contact pad may be welded to an aluminum layer such as an aluminum layer used to form the mid-chassis. A conductive spring such as the conductive spring coupled to the ground traces may press against the contact pad. The contact pad may include gold or nickel-plated stainless steel. The contact pad may provide a strong electrical connection between the conductive spring and the aluminum layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Peter A Dvorak, Eric W Bates, McKinley McQuaide, Ronald Lam, Ana Papio Toda, Yiren Wang, Hao Xu, Han Wang, Yuan Tao, Jack R Lanzi, Jingni Zhong

Publication number: 20240079779Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a sensor module and an antenna having an antenna arm, ground structures, and a tuner. The tuner may be mounted to a printed circuit overlapping the sensor module. A spring may be mounted to the printed circuit and may couple the tuner to a conductive chassis of the sensor module. The sensor module may include optical sensors that gather sensor data through a display and may form ground paths from the tuner to the ground structures. Conductive interconnect structures such as springs may exert biasing forces in different directions to couple the ground paths to different layers of the ground structures. This may serve to couple the antenna to the ground structures as close as possible to the tuner, thereby maximizing antenna performance, despite the presence of the sensor module.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Yuan Tao, Yiren Wang, Ana Papio Toda, Jingni Zhong, Han Wang, Hao Xu, Hongfei Hu, Mattia Pascolini, Eric W.

Publication number: 20240080976Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) printed circuit having conductive trace and a hole. A conductive flange may be soldered to the conductive trace and may extend into the hole. The end of the conductive flange may laterally surround a central opening within the hole. A conductive contact may be inserted into the central opening. Solder may be deposited over the conductive flange and in the central opening. The solder may couple the conductive contact to the conductive flange and thus the conductive trace. This may ensure a robust mechanical and electrical connection between the conductive contact and the conductive trace on the printed circuit despite the printed circuit being formed from LCP, which may not support copper-plated through vias for coupling to the conductive contact.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Peter A. Dvorak, Eric W. Bates, Ana Papio Toda, Yiren Wang, Hao Xu, Yuan Tao, Han Wang, Jack R Lanzi, Ronald Lam

Publication number: 20230281766Abstract: The technology disclosed herein involves using a machine learning model (e.g., CNN) to expand lower dynamic-range image content (e.g., SDR images) into higher dynamic-range image content (e.g., HDR images). The machine learning model can take as input the lower dynamic-range image and can output multiple expansion maps that are used to make the expanded image appear more natural. The expansion maps may be used by image operators to smooth color banding and to dim overexposed regions or user interface elements in the expanded image. The expanded content (e.g., HDR image content) may then be provided to one or more devices for display or storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Shaveen Kumar, Anjul Patney, Eric Xu, Anton Moor
