Publication number: 20170097524Abstract: A reader for communicating with both an eye-mountable device and a display device is provided. The reader can transmit radio frequency power to a tag that is part of the eye-mountable device. The reader can communicates with the tag using a first protocol. Communicating with the tag can include having the reader request data from the tag and receive the requested data from the tag. The reader can process the received data. The reader can store the processed data. The reader can communicates with the display device using a second protocol, where the first and second protocols can differ. Communicating with the display device can include having the reader transmit the stored data to the display device. The display device can receive the transmitted data, process the transmitted data, and generate one or more displays including the transmitted and/or processed data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2016Publication date: April 6, 2017Inventors: Frank Honoré, Brian Otis, Andrew Nelson

Patent number: 7218669Abstract: A wireless communication system (10). The system comprises a transceiver (20), and the transceiver comprises a code counter (LCSTC 22c) and a clock oscillator (26) for advancing a count in the code counter. The transceiver further comprises circuitry (30) for receiving a time message based on a system time external from the transceiver and circuitry (28) for determining a system time count and for storing the system time count to the code counter in response to the time message. Further, code counter continues to be advanced from the system time count in response to the clock oscillator. The transceiver further comprises circuitry (28) for repeatedly evaluating the count in the code counter, after advancement from the system time count, to ascertain whether the count has drifted to an inaccurate count. Lastly, the transceiver further comprises circuitry (28), responsive to detecting an inaccurate count, for adjusting the inaccurate count to a perceived accurate count.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2002Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Pierre Bertrand, Sundararajan Sriram, Eric Biscondi, Frank Honore

Patent number: 7027492Abstract: A wireless base station (20). The base station comprises at least one receive antenna (ATRXn) for receiving communication signals from at least one transmitting station (UST), and the signals are spread with a plurality of chips. The base station further comprises circuitry (52) for selecting a set of chips corresponding to a first signal received by the at least one receive antenna and circuitry (60) for forming a set of de-spread chips corresponding to the set of chips and in response to a code. Still further, the base station comprises a functional data path (56) comprising an accumulator for receiving the set of de-spread chips and circuitry for receiving an instruction. The functional data path is operable in response to a first instruction, received by the circuitry for receiving an instruction, to accumulate (621 or 622) a first number of de-spread chips in the set of de-spread chips for producing at least one corresponding symbol.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2002Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Pierre Bertrand, Sundararajan Sriram, Frank Honore, Eric Biscondi
