Patent number: 12326978Abstract: In some embodiments, a computer mouse includes a housing, a depressible keyplate, and a haptic element coupled to a bottom surface of the depressible keyplate. The haptic element can be configured to operate in a plurality of modes of operation including a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode of operation, the haptic element can generate a haptic output that statically and unidirectionally deflects and holds the haptic element and coupled keyplate at a deflection distance. In the second mode of operation, the haptic element can generate a second haptic output that bidirectionally deflects the haptic element relative to the deflection distance thereby generating a vibrational feedback that is superimposed on the unidirectional deflection at the deflection distance. In some aspects, the haptic element is a piezoelectric device and the control signal is a voltage applied to the haptic element.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2023Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: Logitech Europe S.A.Inventors: Nuno Miguel Pereira dos Anjos Valverde, Florent Berney, James O'Connor, Cyril Yves Anthony Drezet, Vasco Eugenio Michele Foletti

Patent number: 12313171Abstract: A manual reset actuator includes a main drain, a diaphragm release aperture fluidly coupled to a flow control valve, an upper chamber, a control port, a control orifice, an upper chamber supply orifice, and a sealing assembly, which includes a button, and a plunger. A pressure in the upper chamber exerts a downward force on the plunger. A spring exerts an upward force on the plunger. The fluid in the upper chamber is released via the control orifice, which lowers the pressure in the upper chamber, decreasing the downward force exerted on the plunger. When the downward force is less than the upward force, the spring forces the plunger upwards into an open configuration, which unseals the diaphragm release aperture. When the upward force is less than the downward force, the plunger remains in a closed configuration, which keeps the diaphragm release aperture sealed.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2023Date of Patent: May 27, 2025Assignee: Tyco Fire Products LPInventors: Joshua Motha, James O. Williams

Publication number: 20250125790Abstract: A phase shifter for altering the phase of a radio frequency signal is disclosed herein. A Lange coupler is used having reflective ports that are coupled to artificial transmission lines. The artificial transmission lines provide a reflection transmission path, the length of which can be determined by digital control lines. Transistors placed along the length of the central trace provide independent paths to ground that serve to shorten the electrical length of the ATL. Accordingly, by selectively turning the transistors on/off, the electrical length of the ATL can be selected and thus the amount of phase delay introduced by the phase shifter.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: John Birkbeck, Vikas Sharma, Kashish Pal, Mark James O'Leary

Counterfactual and Recourse Method for Recommending Network Configurations towards Favorable Outcome
Publication number: 20250119360Abstract: A method for improving communication network performance comprises identifying a favorability status of individual predictions and/or decisions of a plurality of decisions of a machine-learning algorithm acting on the communication network. The favorability statuses are stored with corresponding values of network parameters used as features in the algorithm. A counterfactual algorithm is generated, e.g., by generating a tree-based classification algorithm, based on the stored favorability statuses and network parameter values, to derive rules for producing a favorable status based on one or more of the network parameters. A proposed recourse action comprising a change in at least one of the network parameters is identified, based on the rules, and a decision network, such as a Bayesian inference network, is generated for determining a confidence level estimating a reliability of achieving a favorable status by changing the network parameter(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2022Publication date: April 10, 2025Inventors: Arun Mathew Kunnumpurath Jacob, Ashwin Raghavan, James O'Meara, Paddy Farrell, Premnath Kandhasamy Narayanan -

Publication number: 20250118349Abstract: Technology is disclosed for reading memory cells having threshold switching selectors. A sense amplifier may have a set of capacitors that may be used to exchange charge with a sense node connected to the selected word line. A capacitor may be used to pull excess charge from the sense node or to provide charge to the sense node. A control circuit drives a current to the selected word line to charge up the selected word line to switch on the threshold switching selector of the selected memory cell. A capacitor may be connected to the selected word line when, or soon after, the threshold switching selector switches on. The capacitor may draw away excess charge to prevent a snapback current from flowing through the memory cell thereby preventing mis-reads. The capacitor may reduce read latency by speeding the rate of voltage change on a word line.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2023Publication date: April 10, 2025Applicant: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ward Parkinson, Michael Grobis, James O'Toole, Thomas Trent, Michael Nicolas Albert Tran
