  • Publication number: 20230386417
    Abstract: Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

  • Patent number: 11811592
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a contact stream is generated or modified based on configuration data received from a machine-learning model. Multiple contact items are selected for a contact stream, to be delivered to a user device via electronic communication channels. In addition, a success metric is identified indicating an engagement with the contact stream or an action performed following the engagement. A machine-learning model is applied to the contact items, where the machine-learning model is trained to identify relationships among actions in an online environment and configuration parameters that control delivery of contact streams. The machine-learning model provides an output indicating configuration data or a success probability for the contact stream. The configuration data includes configuration parameter values computed by the machine-learning model for achieving the identified success metric.

  • Patent number: 11797161
    Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating sequential supporting answer reports, a computing device implements a report system to receive a user input defining a question with respect to a visual representation of analytics data rendered in a user interface. The report system determines a final answer to the question by processing a semantic representation of the question using a machine learning model. A sequence of reports is generated and the sequence defines an order of progression from a first supporting answer to the final answer. Each report of the sequence of reports includes a visual representation of a supporting answer to the question. The report system displays a dashboard in the user interface including a first report of the sequence of reports, the first report depicting a visual representation of the first supporting answer to the question.

  • Patent number: 11763774
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of maintaining source device to sink device synchronization in systems in which the source device enters a Panel Self-Refresh (PSR/PSR2) mode and the sink device enables adaptive synchronization with the source device. To maintain synchronization, in some instances the source device and the sink device may maintain synchronization contemporaneous with at least a portion of the PSR/PSR2 operating mode. To maintain synchronization, in some instances, a high-bandwidth communications link may be maintained between the source device and the sink device. In some instances, synchronization between the source device and the sink device may be interrupted upon the source device entering the PSR/PSR2 operating mode and may be re-established upon the source device exiting the PSR/PSR2 operating mode.

Embodiments may include a first amplifier associated with a plurality of amplifiers that is configured to receive a signal. The plurality of amplifiers may be configured to generate a first output, wherein generating includes filtering the signal and increasing an amplitude of the signal. A fixed threshold comparator may be configured to receive the first output and to generate a second output, based upon, at least in part, the first output, wherein the second output has the same frequency as the signal. Automatic gain control logic may be configured to receive the second output and determine a number of cycles in a given time period, the automatic gain control logic may be further configured to determine whether a revision to a setting of the automatic gain control logic is necessary.
