Patent number: 11309795Abstract: Devices and techniques for controlling voltage regulation are disclosed. A voltage regulation system may include one or more loads disposed on an integrated circuit, a DC-to-DC voltage regulation device at least partially disposed on the integrated circuit, and a second device disposed external to the integrated circuit and comprising circuitry configured to communicate with the controller of the voltage regulation device. The voltage regulation device may include one or more voltage regulation modules and a controller configured to control the one or more voltage regulation modules. The one or more voltage regulation modules may be configured to supply one or more voltage levels, respectively, to the one or more loads. The controller may be configured to disable at least one of the one or more voltage regulation modules based on a determination that the second device is not suitable for use with the voltage regulation device.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Empower Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: David Lidsky, Timothy Phillips, Gene Sheridan

Patent number: 9613031Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a media profile that is based on receiving data from various content distributors and creating a media profile. The media profile is web-based and accessible via an API. Data can be provided to the media profile host server via the API, and an end-user's media preferences can be stored in the media profile. The media profile is accessed by content distributors such that a customized media experience may be offered to the end-user without the need for the content distributor to gather his own separate data. The media profile can also store billing information for the end-user and act as a single reputable platform to conduct financial transactions.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2011Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: SMSC HOLDING S.A.R.L.Inventors: Hooman Kashef, Gene Sheridan

Patent number: 8683007Abstract: The transfer of media transmitted from a media provider from a first rendering device to a second includes establishing a network connection between the media provider and the second rendering device based on a network location and session context information. A desired transmission duplication of the media is determined such that the duplication will prevent substantial interruption of the rendering of the media as experienced by a user listening to both of the rendering devices, and that desired transmission duplication is sent to both the first rendering device and the second rendering device. The transmission is continued from the media provider to the second rendering device.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: SMSC Holdings S.A.R.L.Inventors: Hooman Kashef, Gene Sheridan, Ramanathan Subramaniam
