Patent number: 12237854Abstract: Circuit and method for inter-symbol and intra-symbol voltage method are disclosed. Herein, a transceiver circuit is configured to determine a voltage target(s) for generating a modulated voltage(s) to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal modulated in multiple symbols. Specifically, the transceiver circuit will generate multiple voltage targets for any of the symbols to thereby enable intra-symbol voltage modulation when the respective symbol is modulated to carry a selected type of information or generate a single voltage target for any of the symbols to thereby enable inter-symbol voltage modulation when the respective symbol lacks the selected type of information. By dynamically performing inter-symbol and intra-symbol voltage modulation based on the type of information carried in a symbol(s), the modulated voltage can be timely adapted to closely track a time-variant power envelope of the RF signal to thereby avoid potential distortion and protect critical information in the RF signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Inventors: Nadim Khlat, James M. Retz, Arthur Nguyen

Publication number: 20250037119Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for converting a bridged token on a blockchain to a native token on the blockchain. An example method generally includes pausing a token bridge between a first blockchain and a second blockchain. Minting privileges on the second blockchain are adjusted such that a designated user is granted privileges to control token minting on the second blockchain and no other users are allowed to control token minting on the second blockchain. It is validated that a quantity of a bridged token has remained unchanged since a freeze time at which the token bridge was paused. Based on validating that the quantity of the bridged token has remained unchanged since the freeze time, the bridged token is converted to a native token existing on the second blockchain.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Long NGUYEN, Adrian SOGHOIAN, Boyan LIN, Marcus BOORSTIN, James HINCK
