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.

Patent number: 11921504Abstract: Techniques for generating simulations to evaluate an update to a controller. The controller may be configured to control one or more functionalities of an autonomous and/or a semi-autonomous vehicle. A simulation computing system may receive a request to evaluate a first controller. The simulation computing system may generate a simulation based on data associated with a previous operation of the vehicle in an environment, the previous operation being controlled by a second controller (e.g., standard for evaluation, control version, etc.). The simulation computing device may cause the first controller to control a simulated vehicle in the simulation and may determine whether to validate the update to the controller based on a difference between first metrics associated with a control of the simulated vehicle by the first controller and second metrics associated with a control of the vehicle by the second controller.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Zoox, Inc.Inventors: Eric Yan Tin Chu, Robert Jonathan Crane, John Connelly Kegelman, Deepan Subrahmanian Palguna, Prateek Chandresh Shah, Xiaosi Zeng, Wentao Zhong

Patent number: 9607372Abstract: The invention determines cell to fat ratio statistic, applicable in the field of pathology, in a greatly improved manner over manual or prior art scoring techniques. The cellular areas are identified and displayed in an easy to read format on the computer monitor, printer output or other display means, with average cellularity, nuclear quantity distribution at a glance. These output data are an objective transformation of the subjective visible image that the pathologist or scientist relies upon for diagnosis, prognosis, or monitoring therapeutic perturbations. The invention uses multi-stage thresholding and segmentation algorithms in RGB and HSB spaces, auto-thresholding on red and blue channels in RGB to get the raw working image of all cells, then refines the working image with thresholding on hue and intensity channels in HSB using an adaptive parameter epsilon in entropy mode, and further separates different groups of cells within the same class, by auto-thresholding within the working image region.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2008Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Inventors: Hernani D. Cualing, Eric Zhong

Patent number: 8260240Abstract: An automatic gain control (AGC) for use in a digital radio receiver that allows at least two types of input signal to be processed using a single receiver front end by supporting two modes of operation, each optimized for one particular signal type, and a third mode not optimized for either. The AGC enables smooth switching between the optimized modes of operation via the non-optimized mode. By measuring a difference in the strength between the demodulated signals, and comparing that to two preset values, the AGC controls which mode of operation to place the receiver in. Modes of operation are maintained by adjusting the gain of a variable gain amplifier (VGA), so that an appropriate incoming signal is amplified to a level that is suitable for an analogue-to-digital (ADC) converter. The AGC is compatible with existing satellite digital audio radio system (SDARS) transmission capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2005Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.Inventors: Robert Malkemes, Denis Orlando, Jie Song, Eric Zhong

Patent number: 7899624Abstract: An automated method for rapidly analyzing percentage of positive cells from immunostained tissue sections is disclosed. The method is an improved multi-stage dynamic thresholding series of steps applied to monochromatic gray-scale values of color channels of digital image of tissue. The method requires color digital images of tissue. The method discloses sequential stages to obtain a step-wise progression of preliminary image planes iteratively combined to obtain a final immunostained and non-immunostained images of cells of the same cell class. The final results are segmented cells that are digitally countable. The percent of immunostained cells over the total cells are calculated in tissue section. The cell characteristics, including cell size and its immunostaining intensity are captured and digitally stored per cell. The segmented single cell color image as well as the corresponding cell characteristic are displayed as a dot plot two-dimensional flow cytometry-like manner.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2006Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Inventors: Hernani Del Mundo Cualing, Eric Zhong

Patent number: 7813694Abstract: A secondary satellite radio or broadcast channel is used to broadcast advertisement clips (e.g., audio clips) to a receiver for subsequent decoding and playback. The receiver is configured for different tiers of service, e.g., one that delivers substantially advertising-free content and another that delivers content that includes more significant amounts of advertising. The content delivered to both is the same content; however, for the service tier that includes more advertising, the advertisements broadcast on the secondary channel are interleaved into the content, preferably in such a way that the continuity of the content being delivered is not compromised.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: October 12, 2010Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.Inventors: David A Fishman, Raymond K Jones, Eric Zhong

Publication number: 20050202808Abstract: A content channel is periodically or permanently allocated for use as an “update channel” or “firmware-image download” channel. Any firmware images downloaded to receivers in the system are thoroughly tested prior to being distributed among the receivers. Header information is included in the firmware image when it is transmitted to the receivers, and the firmware image is not accepted for use by the receivers until it is verified on the receiver side. Further, rather than overwriting the existing firmware, the new validated firmware updates are stored separately on the receivers and are utilized when the receiver is rebooted during power-up or by the host controller. If, during this reboot process, an error occurs in the new firmware image, the receiver is configured to revert back to the original firmware image so that it will remain operational, albeit without the updated firmware features.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2004Publication date: September 15, 2005Applicant: Agere Systems Inc.Inventors: David Fishman, Raymond Jones, Anthony Stillwell, Eric Zhong
