  • Patent number: 9698794
    Abstract: Systems and methods for coalescing regions on a virtualized programmable logic device are provided. A first function is configured on a first subregion on the virtualized programmable logic device. The first subregion may border an unused subregion on the programmable logic device. The first function operated on the first subregion is migrated to a second function operated on a second subregion on the virtualized programmable logic device by mapping a first set of bits configuring the first subregion to a second set of bits configuring the second subregion for the second function. The first subregion is then released from the first function. The second function is configured to perform a same task with the first function, and the first subregion and the unused subregion together form a larger unused subregion on the virtualized programmable logic device. Similarly, multiple subregions can be migrated and vacated to form a larger available region.

  • Patent number: 9692248
    Abstract: A wirelessly powered device and operating method to aid in locating the device in relation to an energy transmitter. A device positioning aid processor places at least one component into a high electrical current consumption mode and determines, based on placing the at least one component into a high electrical current consumption mode, an amount of electrical current induced in a receiving coil that is adapted to inductively couple to a transmission coil external to the wirelessly powered device. An indicator, which is communicatively coupled to the device positioning aid processor, is configured to provide, in response to a determination of the amount of electrical current, an indication corresponding to the amount of electrical current.

  • Publication number: 20170171772
    Abstract: Noise floor degradation detection may be provided. First, an incremental packet loss rate for a secondary radio may be calculated that indicates an impact on packet reception on the secondary radio due to transmissions by a primary radio. The secondary radio and the primary radio may comprise an access point. Next, it may be determined that the incremental packet loss rate is greater than a predetermined value. A configuration of the access point may be changed in response to determining that the incremental packet loss rate is greater than the predetermined value.

  • Publication number: 20170162006
    Abstract: A wearable device associated with a guest in a venue stores a unique identification code. The unique identification code may correspond to guest information stored at one or more guest information servers. The guest information may include ticket information, room entitlements, vouchers, payment information, credit card information, or folio information. The wearable device transmits unique identification code to a venue scanner associated with a venue device. The venue device may obtain access to at least some of the guest information based on receipt of the unique identification code. The wearable device also includes a light source that may indicate a status of the guest or of the wearable device based on the colors and/or the blinking patterns emitted by the light source. The light source may, for example, indicate a guest's access permissions to portions of the venue.
